Kickdown
Accelerator pedal pressed past the
pressure point: below certain speeds, the
transm ission shifts down into a lower gear.
Full engine power is availab le for
acceleration.
Engine braking
In order to utilise the engine braking effect
when driving downhill, select driv e range 3,
2 or, if necessary, 1 in good time.
The braking action is most effective in driv e
range 1. If drive range 1 is selected at too
high a speed, the transm ission remains in
second gear until the shift point for first
gear is reached, e.g. as a result of
deceleration.
Rocking the car
If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole,
move the selector lever from D to R in a
repeat pattern w hile sim ultaneously
applying light pressure to the accelerator
pedal. Do not race the engine and av oid
sudden acceleration.
This applies only to the exceptional
circumstances mentioned a bove.
Manoeuvring the vehicle
To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth
during attempts to park or in ga ra ge
entrances, the v ehicle’s creeping
movement can be utilised by releasing the
brak e pedal.
Never actuate accelerator and brake
pedals sim ultaneously.
