OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2-position
In position 2 the transmission can shift
up ur down automatically between 1 st and
2nd
gear.
In this position there is no shifting up to
3rd gear.
2
position can be used to obtain imme-
diate downshifting (to 2nd gear) and also
when shifting up from 2nd to 3rd gear is
not desired, for
example,
at the following
times
:
- during certain types of highway driving
- during crawling town driving
- when driving in hilly country
- when overtaking
- in order to increase engine braking
Do not seleet 2 position for speeds ex-
eeeding 80 mph (130 kmph).
1-position
With 1 position there is automatic down-
shifting but no upshifting.
If 1 position is selected at high speed,
2nd gear is engaged. It is only when the
speed has dropped to about 6 mph (10
kmph) that 1st gear
engages.
The 1st gear
can also be engaged by kick-down below
about 35 mph (55 kmph). If you want to
drive in 1 st gear without intending to shift
up
,
use 1 position
,
e.g
.,
when driving in
hilly country where maximum engine brak-
ing can be obtained in 1 position.
Do not ehoose 1 position for speeds ex-
eeeding 80 mph (130 kmph).
