DRIVING OPERATION
C215 C216
DRIVING UPHILL
Shift from higher to lower speed
in time when going uphill, to
avoid engine speed dropping
below 800 min
-1
and do not admit
driving leading to engine stopping
in consequence of overloading.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
Driving downhill without shifted
speed gear is forbidden. If driving
down a longer hill, shift so low
gear the sharper one the hill is. If
possible, shift the lower speed
gear still before driving downhill.
Note: The gear you use reliably for
driving uphill is safely suitable for driving
downhill.
