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  tachometers  (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.
