Note
It may be beneficial, for example, when travelling downhill, to use manual
■
shifting of gears. Shifting to a lower gear reduces the load on the brakes and
hence the wear on the brakes
When accelerating, the gearbox automatically shifts up into the higher gear
■
just before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached.
If a lower gear is selected, the gearbox does not shift down until there is no
■
risk of the engine overrevving.
