Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Keep the engine running, stop the vehicle and select Neutral.
- 02
Press the Lo button on the front control panel.
- 03
Wait until its flashing indicator becomes steady and the cluster reports Low range selected.
- 04
Only after confirmation, select Drive or Reverse and proceed at the low speed appropriate for the terrain.
- 05
To return to high range, select Neutral, press Lo again and wait for the indicator to extinguish before selecting a drive gear.
Important limits
- Do not shift from high to low range while moving.
- Low range is for low-speed maneuvering and more extreme off-road conditions, not normal road driving.
- High range can be requested below 37 mph, but low-range selection requires the vehicle to be stationary.
Quick checks.
- ✓Select Neutral before pressing Lo if the cluster displays a warning.
- ✓Wait for the flashing indicator to settle before engaging a drive gear.
- ✓Reduce vehicle speed if the instrument panel reports that the range-change speed is too high.
