The autoshift function will automatically select higher speeds at preselected engine speeds of 1800 rpm to 2200 rpm. The autoshift function will select lower speeds when the engine speed drops below the range of 1550 rpm to 2000 rpm. The following illustration indicates the relative rpm ranges for each speed.
