High/Low Range Gears With Shift-On-The-Move

The driver is able to change between high and low range gears while the vehicle is moving, or if the vehicle is stationary.

Pushing the range change lever makes a range change requests. This lever is located on the centre console behind and to one side of the main transmission lever.

The driver requests a high to low range change by pushing the range change lever towards the rear of the vehicle and, conversely, a low to high request by pushing the lever towards the front of the vehicle. The range change lever is centre sprung and therefore does not latch in the forward or rear positions.

The driver is informed of the range status via a green lamp (mountain symbol) in the instrument cluster and LED's next to the range change lever. The lamp will not be illuminated in high range, illuminated in low range and flashing during a range change. There are two LED's on the range change lever one for high and one for low. During a range change the new range LED will flash.

The vehicle will remain in the selected range unless the driver requests a change, i.e. it will not automatically revert to high range following a key off/key on sequence.
