Shift program selection
By pressing the "MODE" key briefly once,
another shift program can be selected from a
stationary as well as a driving position. Two
selections are possible:
Normal program
This program is chosen automatically when the
vehicle ignition has been switched off. No report
is displayed. This program allows the gearbox to
shift gears as and when necessary so that driving
at higher speeds is possible. This can be
desirable on unpaved terrain.
Economy program
The LED lights up on the selector display. This
program will in general change gear at somewhat
lower engine speeds. This results in more
economical fuel consumption.
√
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 change
up further until the "
™
" or "D" key is pressed. The
number of gears that can be used will appear in
the display.
™
Shifting up
This key is used to change up to a higher gear.
However, this is only possible after previously
selecting to stay in a low gear.
