steep hills, or for off-road driving.

down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your
brakes off and on.
If you manually select "2" (Second Gear), the transmission will drive

snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in
"1" (First Gear), the
transmission won't shift into "1" (First Gear) until the vehicle is going
slowly enough.
