4x4

4x4 worked fine, but I had trouble getting it to engage every time I needed to use it. I’m glad I traveled with the MB manual for our first trip, as it suggested putting the vehicle into N, engaging 4x4 button, taking your foot off the brake, then dropping it into D. Worked like a charm, light went to solid red, and we chewed through some gnarly desert terrain.

You said "putting the vehicle into N, taking your foot off the brake, then dropping it into D." At what step did you engage the 4X4? Or, did you do those steps after engaging 4X4? Thanks!

Sorry to leave that bit out - - you can engage 4x4 after putting the vehicle into N. I will update the steps to reflect that.

This is same procedure on our Gwagen. Even though it's full time 4WD
to engage LOW RANGE must shift into N, then LOW,
then back to D. The most robust systems are like this.

For some reason neutral does not always work on ours and I have to shift in to reverse to get it to engage and then back to drive. Has worked every time when I do it this way.
