as follows: NEVER try to free the car by alternately changing
from forward to reverse gears. Severe transmission
From 1st to 2nd at 10 mph (16km/h) damage may result from shifting the car into gear
From 2nd to 3rd at 17 mph (27 km/h) from the '

From 3rd to 4th at 27 mph (43 km/h)
If steep gradients are encountered or a great deal
of low speed driving is anticipated, the

is most suitable.
For example, on long inclines the gearbox may
attempt to frequently change back and forth
between 3rd and 4th or between 2nd and 3rd
gears. This results in a loss of momentum and can
be prevented by confining the gearbox to lower
gears by selecting either the '

' positions.
How to Increase Acceleration
Immediate down changes can be made by firmly
pushing the accelerator pedal to the full extent of
its travel. This 'kickdown' facility creates rapid
acceleration and is particularly useful for fast
overtaking and for maintaining speed on a hill.
Full depression of the accelerator will similarly
delay up-changes as follow:
From 1st to 2nd at 36 mph (60km/h)
From 2nd to 3rd at 65 mph (105 km/h)
From 3rd to 4th at 94 mph (150 km/h)
