Welcome to the forum Steve.

You need to be stationary and in park or neutral to engage low range, and you need to push down on the transfer lever as you pull it back into low.

Can you post a photo of the button? It may be a park lock out override, the park lock out stops you from pulling the transmission out of park unless the ignition is on.

Could be the overdrive button - mine is on the stick also. Post a quick pic as Tony suggested mate and we should be able to identify it ..

Good stuff mate - glad you were able to decipher the Chinese symbols and work it out!!! lmao

Getting it into 4L no dramas now??

[steveh]

yea thats all good, just need to replace the shocks and find a propper manual for it now :)

[growler2058]

Theres a gq manual on this forum mate i would think the safari mechanically would be the same as a "normal" gq wagon and electrically only a slight variation but i could be totally wrong worth lookin at

[steveh]

cool yea that should be good, any idea of a link to it ? are there download restrictions do you know, cheers
