General notes
The LOW RANGE off-road gear assists you in driving off-road and when fording. When LOW RANGE is engaged, the engine’s performance characteristics and the gearshifting characteristics of the automatic transmission are adapted for this purpose. ABS, ESP® and 4 ETS programs especially adapted to offroad driving are also activated.
Information on "Off-road driving"; see. You will find information about driving safety systems in conjunction with LOW RANGE in the "Safety" section.
