Kickdown

When the accelerator pedal is depressed
beyond its resistance point below certain
speeds, the transmission shifts down into
a lower gear. Full use is made of the engine
power for acceleration.
depress fully

Engine braking

In order to utilize the engine braking effect
when driving downhill, select drive range
"3", "2" or, if necessary, "1" in good time.
The braking action is most effective in drive
range "1". If drive range "1" is selected at
too high a speed, the transmission remains
in second gear until the shift point for first
gear is reached, e.g. as a result of
deceleration.

Stopping the car

The selector lever can be left in the chosen
drive range with the engine running.
When stopping on gradients engage the
parking brake or depress the brake pedal.
Do not increase the engine revolutions to
ensure smooth idling while standing if a
drive range has been selected.
Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy
period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level
crossings.
Before leaving the vehicle, apply parking
brake, then place selector lever in position
"P" and remove ignition key.

Rocking the car

If it becomes necessary to rock the car to
free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole,
move the selector lever from "D" to "R" in
a repeat pattern while simultaneously
applying light pressure to the accelerator
pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid
sudden acceleration.
This applies only to the exceptional
circumstances mentioned above.
Maneuvering the car
To maneuver the car back and forth during
attempts to park or in garage entrances
utilize the above-mentioned creeping effect.
Regulate your speed by lightly releasing the
brake pedal.
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously.
