B 2 (Second)
This position is for using engine braking when going down a hill or for
climbing a steep grade.
In this position, the transmission holds in the 2nd gear.
Use this position when starting off from a standstill on slippery road
surfaces such as mud or snow. It will ensure greater traction.
B 1 (First)
This position is for driving up or down very steep grades, or driving
through mud or sand, or on slippery surfaces. In this position, the
transmission holds in the 1st gear.
B Maximum speeds
WARNING
When shifting down a gear, ensure that the vehicle is not travel-
ling at a speed exceeding the Maximum Allowable Speed for the
gear which is about to be selected. Failure to observe this pre-
caution can lead to engine over-revving and this in turn can
result in engine damage.
In addition, sudden application of engine brakes when the vehicle
is travelling on a slippery surface can lead to wheel locking; as a
consequence, control of the vehicle may be lost and the risk of
an accident increased.
The following tables show the maximum speeds that are possible with
each different gear. The tachometer’s (if so equipped) needle will
enter the red area if these speeds are exceeded.
When shifting down a gear, it is important to confirm that the current
vehicle speed is not in excess of the Maximum Allowable Speed of
the gear which is about to be selected.
Exceeding the Maximum Allowable Speeds will result in over-revving
of the engine. In addition a powerful engine brake will engage and
control of the vehicle may be lost.
