Bongo Fury

Apologies if this is a dumb question. This 1995 Bongo is my first automatic and I'm curious about the S and L options on the gearshift. The auto drivers that I've asked haven't got a clue what they could be. The manual doesn't mention them. I wondered if they were alternative gearing ratios for say short/stopping traffic (S) and long distance motorway driving (L). I'm reluctant to try them and see - just in case one is the ejector seat or the wheels fall off.....

Dont use them on the motorway or your wheels might fall off


L= 1st gear

S= 2nd gear.

Cheers.

PS the number of the particular gear should be marked also.ie 1 2 3.

What manual do you have as the handbook gives quite in depth info on the automatic transmission functions ..??

@Rita. Thanks for the info - slightly anticlimactic. Alternative ratios would have been useful, and an ejector seat would have been fun

The NZ translated workshop manual which seems fairly comprehensive, but seems to leave out the basic owners handbook stuff.

Ah right ..This is from the handbook ..
