And if you ever want the absolute maximum in fast take-off - (perhaps a standing start up an extremely steep hill) - set the selector in LOW and step on the gas to any degree. In LOW gear, the stator blades are always set for high performance.
Slow-Downs with Perfect Smoothness
The incomparable smoothness that's yours with Dynaflow lends a luxurious new ease and effortlessness to all your driving. When you want to slow down, merely raise your foot from the accelerator pedal and watch the speedometer indicate reduced speed. No sudden down-shifts, no lurch, or feeling of pitching forward. And, of course, you don't have to do any gearshifting when you stop.
You'll think You've Never Left Level Ground
No more "running starts" up hills. Variable Pitch Dynaflow and the highest horsepower V8 engines in Buick history turn breasting a hill into a breeze. Normal acceleration will tame all but the steepest of hills. And on these, you have the terrific extra thrust of Dynaflow's variable pitch performance range. Press the pedal all the way down - and up you go!
Extra Engine Braking Down Hills
On a really steep hill - the kind that causes a truck driver to shift down into first gear to save his brakes - you too can reduce brake wear by moving the Dynaflow selector to LOW setting. It's perfectly all right to move into LOW at any speed below 40 mph.
Whatever the driving situation Dynaflow keeps you in full command
On Wet or Icy Pavement
Dynaflow's smoothness and sureness put you in the best possible position to avoid skids. It's easy to see why, when you think for a moment about the basic factors involved.
To reduce skid likelihood, you need maximum traction with maximum smoothness. Any sudden jerk or jar in the application of power may spin the wheels. Since Dynaflow's application of power is infinitely smooth - and no gears ever shift - you get the best possible traction with the utmost smoothness in power delivery. You just keep the Dynaflow selector in DRIVE instead of in LOW and you get far better control than you ever thought possible.
Furthermore, since Dynaflow does not pass through set "steps" or self - activating gear ranges - like so
