Automatic gearbox
Automatic forward drive
If position 'D' is chosen, the vehicle is immediately set in motion. (If the air supply
system is pressurised and if the park brake is not on.) Depress the brake pedal before
selecting position 'D'. In this position the gearbox shifts automatically.
In the selector display, the left number
(A) displays the highest gear to which
the gearbox shifts. The right number (B)
displays the current engaged gear.
Reverse
If position 'R' is chosen, the vehicle is immediately set in motion. Therefore depress the
brake pedal before selecting position 'R'.
The letters 'RR' appear in the display.
Shift program selection
By pressing the 'MODE' key briefly once, another shift program can be selected from
stationary and driving position. There are two options:
– Normal program
This program is chosen automatically when the vehicle ignition has been switched
off. The indicator light next to the 'MODE' key is not on. This program allows the
gearbox to shift gears as and when necessary so that driving at higher speeds is
possible. This may be advisable on unpaved terrain.
– Economy program
The indicator light next to the 'MODE' key is on. This program will, in general, shift
gears at somewhat lower engine speeds. This results in a more economical fuel
consumption.
Ļ Shifting down
After selecting the 'D' key and when the vehicle is driving, this key can be used to keep
the gearbox in a lower gear. The selected gear is shown in the display. The gearbox
will not shift up further until the 'Ĺ' or 'D' key is pressed. The left number in the selector
display shows the highest gear to which the gearbox shifts.
Ĺ Shifting up
This key is used to allow the gearbox to shift to a higher gear. This is, however, only
possible after having previously selected to stay in a low gear.
