Did you just select low range, or did you select 'diff-lock' as well?

Low range is selected by moving the lever straight forward, Difflock is selected by moving the lever sideways and you should get a lamp that comes on, on the dashboard.

If it's in diff-lock and you are on tarmac, there is potential for damaging your transmission, as you should only ever select diff-lock on loose surfaces.
