If position 1 is selected when driving at high speeds, 2 is engaged first and 1 when the speed has
dropped to approx. 30 mph (50 km/h).
NOTE: No upshift once 1 is engaged.
Use position 1 to select low gear with no upshift. For instance, when entering and descending steep
grades.
Top speed when selecting 1 is 70 mph (110 km/h).
Kick-down
Automatic shift to a lower gear is achieved by depressing the throttle pedal briskly (passing the normal
full throttle position).
An up-shift will be achieved when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the
throttle pedal slightly.
Kick-down can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.
