Transfer Gearbox
TRANSFER GEAR SWITCH
USING THE TRANSFER GEARBOX
Transfer Gearbox
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled transfer gearbox. There are two ways
of operating the transfer gear switch; the
stationary method - recommended for
inexperienced drivers - and the ‘on the move’
method for experienced drivers.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to use LOW range
gears for normal road driving. Doing so will
limit the vehicle’s top speed and may damage
drivetrain components.
Stationary method
With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, apply the foot brake and then move the
automatic gearbox selector to the ‘N’ (neutral)
position before moving the transfer gear switch
(arrowed) fully rearwards. When the switch is
released, it returns to the default position.
Changing from high to low on the move
With the vehicle slowing down and travelling
NO FASTER THAN 10 mph (16 km/h), select ‘N’
(neutral) in the main gearbox, then move the
transfer gear switch fully rearwards (the switch
returns to the ‘forward’ position when
released). The low range indicator light in the
gear selector display flashes while the range
change is occurring. When the range change is
complete, the light illuminates constantly, a
warning chime will sound and ‘LOW RANGE’ is
displayed in the message center for a few
seconds. Now select ‘D’ (drive) or Manual
CommandShift mode. The transmission
interlock prevents the engagement of a drive
gear until the range change is complete.
H4951
The second gearbox (known as the transfer
box) is used to select either the high or low
range of gears.
High range (‘H’)
The high range ratio should be used for all
normal road driving and also for off-road
driving across dry, level terrain.
Low range (‘L’)
Use the low range ratio ONLY in situations
where low speed manoeuvring is necessary,
such as reversing a trailer or negotiating a
boulder strewn river bed; also use low range for
more extreme off-road conditions where
progress in high range cannot be maintained.
DO NOT attempt to use the LOW range ratio for
normal road driving.
NOTE: If the vehicle speed is too great when a
range change is requested, a warning chime
sounds and ‘SLOW DOWN’ appears in the
message center.
