1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, DOWNSHIFT PROTECTION
The downshift protection prevents shifting down
from the gearbox high range to the low range
when the vehicle speed is too high.
Shifting down from the high to the low range
when the vehicle speed is too high could cause
serious damage to the clutch plate, gearbox and
engine because of the reduction in the
range-change gear.
The protection is enabled automatically when
the vehicle speed exceeds a certain
pre-programmed value. This vehicle speed
(speed signal) is programmed in the VIC.
