1.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE GATE SAFETY SYSTEM
The gate safety only operates in the low range.
It prevents shifting from third or fourth gear
(gate 3-4) to first or second gear (gate 1-2) if the
vehicle speed is too high.
This shifting error occurs if the driver fails to use
the range switch at the front of the gear lever to
shift to the high range before shifting from fourth
to fifth gear.
The point at which the safety is engaged is
determined by the gate safety’s electronic unit
or CTE.
The point at which the safety is engaged
depends on the vehicle speed (frequency
signal).
