-Locking
in first:
In
this
position
the transmission
is locked in first
(low
or
bottom)
gear.
When selected from either 2 or
3
range
the
change
will be made
only
when the car speed is
below 41
mile/hr
(66
km/h).
These two latter ranges are most useful
for
good per-
formance
on
long hill climbs or when descending to
give
engine braking.
ln
addition to
the
selection options
mentioned above it
is
possible
to obtain down changes by the use of the
accelerator
pedal
alone.
The
pedal
may
be depressed
beyond
the full throttle
position
to what is called the
lkick-down'
position.
Moving
the
pedal
down
to
this
position
will cause an immediate change down to a
lower ratio
or
increase the road speed at which the change
in the selected
gear
ratio is effected.

Towing:
In the event oÍ
a tow being required after an accident or
some
mechanical
Íailure. the selector lever should be set
to N and a speed of 30
mile/hr
(50

transmission is not damaged.
lf
a
faster tow oÍ a
journey
oÍ
more than about
30

:9 Maintenance
No maintenance is
reouired
on the automatic
trans-
mission other than
keeping the oil level at the correct
height
and seeing
that any accumulation of mud on the
casing or
ventilation holes is
removed
as this will seriously
affect the cooling oÍ
the
unit.
To check the oil
level
the car
must be
standing on
level
ground
and the transmission at
normal working tempera-
ture. Apply the handbrake and allow
the
engine
to idle
with N selected.
The level
on
the dipstick should be
between the upper MAXI and
lower MlNl, reference
marks, noting that
the
difference
between the two marks
is equivalent to about 1
pint (.6
litre). The fluids recom-
