Activate LOW RANGE in Rock mode, then use the steering-wheel paddles to select Slow, Variable or Fast crawl and override it at any time with the brake or accelerator.
Check that your vehicle has it.

This check combines the verified year, any source-supported powertrain scope, source-named trim/package and required equipment. It does not read a VIN or factory build record.
Published availability and qualifications
Officially specified as standard on the 2025 U.S. G 580 with EQ Technology whenever LOW RANGE is engaged.
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
On an appropriate off-road trail, select Rock and engage LOW RANGE; Intelligent Off-Road Crawl becomes active with LOW RANGE.
- 02
Use the steering-wheel shift paddles to choose Slow, Variable or Fast crawl and confirm the current level in the driver display.
- 03
Use Slow for roughly 1 mph, Variable for walking-speed control with pedal adjustment on grades, or Fast for roughly 5 mph on uphill and level terrain.
- 04
Steer the safest line and maintain clearance from obstacles while the system controls propulsion.
- 05
Apply the brake or accelerator at any time to override the maintained crawl behavior.
Important limits
- The system is an aid and does not maintain a safe distance from obstacles or another vehicle.
- Fast crawl is not speed-limited downhill; recuperation slows the vehicle according to grade.
- Surface, slope and available traction still determine whether a selected crawl level is safe.
Quick checks.
- ✓If no crawl level appears, verify LOW RANGE is engaged and the vehicle is in the appropriate off-road configuration.
- ✓If the selected level is too fast, use the brake and choose a slower level with the paddles.
- ✓If wheel slip or insufficient clearance develops, stop and reassess the route rather than relying on the function.
