I drive a 2000 Kembara EZI. With a Kembara auto you should have switched off the OD and used the lower gear L2 when climbing steep hills, or L1 for very steep hills.

Don't blame the car; 4x4 must be OK uphill. Blame the driver. That why the auto tranny has L1/L2 or 1/2. If you engage OD or 3/4, you must kick your pedal to the metal. In my owner's service manual for my BMW 325i auto, it said if climbing steep hills, please use L1.
