For additional practical hints refer to off-road driving on page 183. Switching on: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move transmission selector lever to position "N". The switch is located in the instrument panel. Important! When switching to or from the LOW RANGE mode, observe the following: • The vehicle must be at a complete standstill. • The engine speed must not exceed 1500 rpm. 3. Push top end of switch. The LOW RANGE indicator lamp in the instrument cluster blinks slowly during the changeover. Once the changeover is complete, the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up continuously. Note: If the indicator lamp blinks fast, one or more switching conditions were not observed, or the LOW RANGE mode is defective. 209 Driving systems Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index
