FÌ = Reverse
Please select only when the car is at a
§tandstill, first pressing in the locking
catch under the selector handle. It
rever§e were to be selected while the
car was still moving forward§, the rear
wheels would lock and could caLise an
accident.
N = Neutral
There is no connection between engine
and rear wheels. The engine can be start-
ed in this position, whìch should also be
selected during lengthy stoppages (for
instance in traffic jams).
D = Automatic (Drive)
This position is selected for all normal
driving. The transmission initially §elects
lst gear to move the car away from rest,
then shifts up automatically into 2nd and
3rd gears at the most efficient and eco-
nomical engine and road speeds.
2 = Hill-climbing and engine braking
This position may be preferred on
mountain roads and other lengthy uphill
or downhill gradients. It makes better use
of aNailable engine power and increasing
engine bral(ing action when the acceler-
ator pedal is released.
Position 2 can be selected at any road
speed. lf the road speed is initially too
high, 2nd gear will engage only at
approx. 126 km/h 78 mile/h). After this,
the transmission will remain in 2nd gear
until the selector lever is moved away
from the "2" position, and will not
change up to 3rd even if engine speed
rises excessively.
1 = Hill-climbing and engine braking
This position is intended for driving
conditions whjch call for lst gear to
remain engaged, for instance extremely
steep uphill or downhill gradients.
Position 1 cam also be selected at any
road speed. At approx. 126 km/h (78
mile/h) the transmission will shift down
initially to 2nd gear, and then at approx.
76 km/h (47 mile/h) will shift down to lst
gear, and remain jn this ratio without
shifting back up into 2nd or 3rd even if
engine speed should subsequently rise
excessively.
