CABIN
All vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The engine is a 6.8
litre Triton V10 engine with 305 horse power.
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch has 5 different key positions:
POSITION A (ACCESSORY)
allows you to use the vehicle's electrical system (radio etc.) without
the engine running or the ignition being turned on.
POSITION B (LOCK)
turns off the engine and locks the steering wheel in place. The key can only
be removed in this position.
POSITION C (OFF)
turns off the engine and the entire electrical system without locking the steering wheel.
POSITION D (ON)
: All circuits are active and the warning lights on the dash are on. This is the driving position.
POSITION E (START)
starts the engine.
BATTERY BOOST SWITCH
The Battery Boost switch allow you to jump-start the vehicle should your engine battery be
empty. It’s located to the left of the steering wheel. Should the engine not start, press the Battery
Boost switch while turning the ignition key, and do not release the switch until the engine starts.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The gear stick is to the right of the steering wheel. To change gears, pull the shift lever towards you, and then
move it up or down to put into the desired position. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal to shift from P
(park) to R (reverse) or D (drive). The gears are as follows:
P
PARK
to start or turn off the engine. The key can only be pulled in this position.
R
REVERSE
to back up. The rear view camera is activated automatically.
N
NEUTRAL
position has to be used for towing only!
D
DRIVE
for all normal driving situations with the best fuel economy.
M
MANUAL
is the option to choose the gears manually. We DO NOT recommend to use this option!
2
2
nd
gear
to be used to start-up on slippery roads.
1
1
st
gear
allows maximum engine breaking and upshifts by moving gearshift. Does not downshift
into 1
st
gear at high speeds!
CAUTION:
We strongly recommend to use D for normal driving only! 1
st
or 2
nd
gear should be only used in
case of getting stuck.
TOW/HAUL (OVERDRIVE)
Use the Tow/Haul function in mountainous terrain. It will help to engage the engine break
when driving downhill and greatly reduce the risk of overheating the brakes. To engage the
Tow/Haul function push the button at the end of the shift lever.
CRUISE CONTROL
The vehicle is equipped with cruise control. It will only engage at a speed of minimum 50 km/h. Don’t use it in
mountainous terrain. The increased shifting will lead to increased fuel consumption and could result in
transmission damage.
