Selector lever positions
Automatic Transmission
•
‘P’ Park
In this position the transmission is locked to
prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
Select ONLY when the vehicle is stationary
and with the handbrake applied.
•
•
‘R’ Reverse
Select ONLY when the vehicle is stationary.
‘N’ Neutral
Use this position when the vehicle is
stationary and the engine is to idle for a
short period (at traffic lights for example).
•
‘D’ Drive
In high range, select for all normal driving
on good road surfaces; fully automatic gear
changing occurs on all four forward gears
according to vehicle speed and accelerator
position.
H2565
The Automatic transmission features a four
speed main gearbox with a torque converter
and a two speed transfer box. Using the main
gearbox in conjunction with the transfer
gearing produces eight forward and two
reverse speeds.
•
•
‘3’ (1st, 2nd and 3rd gears)
Automatic gear changing is limited to first,
second and third gears only. In high range,
use this position in congested traffic
conditions and for town driving.
Main gearbox selector lever
A spring loaded catch restricts movement of
the lever, thereby preventing inadvertent gear
selection. Press and hold the trigger mounted
in the handle of the selector lever (arrowed in
illustration) to release the catch whilst moving
the lever to the required 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 very narrow, twisting, roads.
This position also provides moderate engine
braking for descending slopes.
NOTE: Gear selection between ‘D’ and ‘3’ in
high and low range may be made without
operating the trigger.
•
‘1’ (1st gear only)
Use on very severe gradients, particularly
when towing, and when maximum engine
braking is required.
WARNING
Always leave the vehicle with the gear
selector in ‘P’ (Park) position when parked.
