gear ratios and
to
select the proper ratio
for
road and load conditions.
•
"S"
Super
Range-Used
when super
performance
is
needed for increased
acceleration
in
traffic, hill climbing
or
"engine braking" downhill. The selector
lever may be moved from
"0"
to
"S"
and vice versa, under most operating
conditions.
"Super"
should
not
be used
at
speeds above
75
mph.
•
"L"
Low-Available for heavy pulling
through mud or sand and for
"engine
braking"
when descending steep hills.
The selector lever may be moved
to
"L"
pos
i t i
on
at
any speed
but
the
transmission
will
only
shift
automatically into low range when car
speed
is
under approximately 40 mph.
The transmission
will
not
upshift from
low range
as
long
as
the
selector lever
is
in
"L"
position.
CAUTION:
Before
descending
a
steep
or
long
grade,
down
a
mountain
or
hillside,
reduce
speed
and
shift
into
a
lower
gear.
Under
such
conditions,
use
the
brakes
sparingly
to
prevent
them
from overheating
which
reduces
effective
ness.
• Forced
Downshift-When
quick power
or
acceleration
is
desired
to
pass moving
vehicles or
to
climb steep grades
at
speeds between approximately
35
and
65
mph,
the
transmission can be
downshifted
by
depressing
the
accelerator pedal completely
to
the
floor. It
is
also possible
to
obtain a
forced downshift
in
"Drive"
range
at
speeds under
35
mph by depressing
the
accelerator pedal part way down.
CAUTION:
Use
caution
when
shifting
into
lower
range
or
lower
gear
on
slippery
surfaces
with
vehicle
moving
-
the
abrupt
engine
braking
action
could
cause
the
rear
wheels
to
skid.
