Upshifts and downshifts of first two gears (low and intermediate) occur automatically. No upshift to 3rd
or 4th gear occurs. Position 2 may be used to obtain forced downshift to 2nd gear for increased engine
braking effect.

If position 1 is selected when driving at high speeds, 2 is engaged first and 1 when the speed has
dropped to approx. 30 mph (50 km/h). NOTE: No upshift can occur once 1 is engaged.
