(D) (Drive) The vehicle will attain first gear when D is
selected, and
as
the speed increases, the transmission will
automatically upshift through each gear. As the vehicle slows
down, the transmission will automatically downshift.
(3,

(THIRD and SECOND) Occasionally, the road condi-
tions, load, or traffic conditions will make it desirable to
restrict the automatic shifting to a lower gear. These posi-
tions also provide progressively greater engine braking for
going down grades (the lower the gear, the greater the brak-
ing effect).
(1) (LOW) Use this gear when pulling through mud and
deep snow, when maneuvering in tight spaces, or while dri-
ving up or down steep grades. Low gear provides the vehicle
with its maximum driving power and maximum engine brak-
mgpower.
The transmission incorporates a hold feature to prohibit
upshifting above the gear selected during normal driving. For
downhill operation, however, the transmission may upshift
above the highest selected gear when the engine governed
speed is exceeded and damaging engine over-speed is a
possibility.
