Automatic downshifting
– When you slow down the truck crane by braking, the transmission shifts down
when the appropriate engine speed is reached.
– If you fully depress the accelerator full (kick down), the transmission first shifts
to a lower gear. After that, it will shift to a higher gear only once a higher engine
speed has been reached, so as to achieve maximum acceleration.
If you execute a manual gear change using the gearshift lever, you simultane-
ously switch to Manual operating mode.
The transmission will only perform an automatic shift after you have switched to
Automatic operating mode (push the gearshift lever to the left once).

reached, and downshift again.
