Kick-down
Kick-down is activated by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal (position B). The kick-down program
optimises gear selection/throttle for maximum
acceleration. This is possible in both economy and
power programmes but not in the manual position M.
Position A = full throttle
Position B = kick down

Manual shifting

You can drive the truck with completely manual gear
changing or take over from the automatic gear
changing system whenever required. Gear changing is
done by first moving the lever to the manual position
M. The +/- button on the side of the lever is then used
to select the gear.
For a new gear, the +/-button should be pressed once
for each gear step upwards or downwards, to the
desired gear.
Press several times on the +/-button in sequence to
shift through several gears at once.
Note!
Do not release the accelerator pedal
during gear changing.
