To engage this gear, the lock button in the
selector lever handle must be pressed in.
The vehicle only moves in 1st gear. The
2nd, 3rd and 4th gears are not engaged.
The cruise control* cannot be used in
position "1".
Note
When changing down manually the selec-
tor lever can be moved into gears 3, 2,
and 1, but the gearbox will not change
down until it is no longer possible to over-
rev the engine.
Kick-down d d evice
The kick-down device gives maximum
acceleration. When the accelerator pedal
is pressed right down past the full throttle
position, depending on road speed and
engine speed, the box changes down into
a lower gear. The shift into the next higher
gear then takes place as soon as the max-
imum specified engine speed is reached.
