For further information about approach/
departure angles, see (
Ypage 200). Maximum gradient-climbing
capability
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions
and the road surface conditions.
Vehicles with the ON&OFFROAD
package: the maximum gradient climbing
ability is 100% when the LOW RANGE off-road
gear is selected.
Vehicles without the ON&OFFROAD
package: the maximum gradient climbing
ability is 80%.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep
terrain.
i If the load on the front axle is reduced
when pulling away on a steep uphill slope,
the front wheels have a tendency to spin.
4ETS recognizes this and brakes the
wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque
is increased, making it easier to drive off.
For further information about the maximum
gradient climbing ability, see (Y page 200). Vehicle data for off-road driving
