Driving onto a pickup or tall
trailer in high range

Starting out going up a steep
incline
Use low range.
Driving at low RPM or ground
speed – 3–7 mph (4.8–11.3
km/h)

Insufficient warm-up at low
ambient temperatures
Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission in

aggressive throttle application to engage clutch.

vehicle rollover.
