Automatic transmission
Selector lever positions
(high range)
NOTE: If position ’2’or ’1’is selected from ’D’
or ’3’while the vehicle is travelling at high
speed in high range, then, depending on
vehicle speed, third gear will immediately
engage. Progressive deceleration will then
cause downshifts into second and then first
gear when appropriatelylow road speeds are
reached.
’P’ Park
In this position the transmission is locked to
prevent the vehicle from rolling away. Select
ONLYwith the vehicle stationary.
’R’ Reverse
Select ONLYwhen the vehicle is stationary.
’N’ Neutral
WARNING
Use this position when the vehicle is
stationaryand the engine is to idle for a short
period (eg. at traffic lights).
Always leave the vehicle with the gear
selector in ’P’ (Park) position when parked,
even when the starter key is not removed.
’D’ Drive
In high range, select ’D’for all normal driving
on good road surfaces; fully automatic gear
changing occurs on all forward gears
according to vehicle speed and accelerator
position.
Starting and driving
Drivers unfamiliar with the performance
characteristics of automatic gearboxes should
thoroughly familiarise themselves with the
following instructions before driving.
’3’
(1st, 2nd and 3rd gears)
Automatic gear changing is limited to first,
second and third gears only. In high range,
use in congested traffic conditions and for
town driving.
•
Before starting the engine, ensure that
both footbrake and handbrake are applied.
•
After starting the engine, KEEP THE
BRAKES APPLIEDwhilst moving the
selector lever to the required drive
position.
’2’
(1st and 2nd gears)
Automatic gear changing is limited to first and
second ratios only. In high range, use when
driving up steep gradients and for negotiating
verynarrow twisting roads. This position also
provides moderate engine braking for
descending slopes.
•
•
Keep the brakes applied until you are
readyto move - remember, once a drive
position is selected, an ’automatic’will
tend to creep forward (or backward).
’1’
(1st gear only)
Never ’rev’the engine while selecting a
forward or reverse drive gear, or while the
vehicle is stationarywith a drive gear
selected - remember, an ’automatic’will
move immediatelythe accelerator pedal is
pressed.
Use on verysevere gradients, particularly
when towing, and when maximum engine
braking is required.
