Driving in steep terrain
Maximum vehicle climbing ability is a 80% grade.
Driving on embankments, slopes and other steep
inclines should only be done straight up or downhill, i.e.
in the line of gravity.
Do not drive along the side of a slope (danger of vehicle
rollover). If in doing so, the vehicle begins to show a
tendency to roll, immediately steer into a line of gravity
(straight up or downhill).
To help avoid the vehicle rolling over, never turn it
around on steep inclines. If the vehicle cannot complete
the attempted climb, back it down in reverse gear.

Utilize the engine’s braking power when descending a
slope, observe the engine speed (do not overrev the
engine). Apply the service brake as needed.

Notes:
Avoid excessive engine speeds – drive with moderate
engine speeds (max. 3000 RPM).
Switch the transfer case in position LOW before starting
to drive up or down steep inclines, see page 248.
Select gear range “2” or “1” on the automatic
transmission, see page 207.
If necessary activate differential locks, see page 253.
ABS, BAS and ESP are switched off automatically when
the differential locks are activated.
