[T1]If the machine is set to normally start in gear F2 (set with VCADS Pro, parameter CMY. When the machine is delivered, this
parameter is set to on, which means that the machine normally starts in gear F2), these values are the ones that apply. However,
if the machine is set to start in gear F1 (CMY = off), the pressure for B5 and K3 is equal to 0 at gear selector position N.

[T2]If the machine is set to normally start in gear F2 (set with VCADS Pro, parameter CMY. When the machine is delivered, this
parameter is set to on, which means that the machine normally starts in gear F2), these values are the ones that apply. However,
if the machine is set to start in gear F1 (CMY = off), the pressure for B5 and K3 is equal to 0 at gear selector position N.

[T3]If gear F2 is engaged, the pressure in clutch K3 becomes 1.13 ±0.15 MPa (11.3 ±1.5 bar)(163.9 ±21.8 PSI)
