If a higher g ear is selected when the
running speed is too low, or a lower gear
when the speed is too high, no shift is
effected. This prev ents the engine from
running at too low or too high rev s.
If the engine speed is too slow, the
transmission automatically shifts to a lower
gear.
Increased engine speed will not result in an
automatic upshift to a higher gear.
