Operation
MANUAL Mode
MANUAL mode allows the driver to manually shift gears instead of letting the
transmission system select gears automatically.
•
The driver requests gear shifts using the transmission driver interface
device to Upshift or Downshift to the desired gears. Multiple gear
Upshifts and Downshifts may be allowed, each Upshift/Downshift
request equals one gear change.
•
The transmission system holds the current gear position until the
driver initiates another Upshift or Downshift.
Note:
The transmission system may automatically override or prevent the
driver’s Upshift or Downshift request on the transmission driver interface
device or automatically initiate a gear change based on vehicle operating condi-
tions. Refer to
“Transmission MANUAL / LOW Mode Override” on page 14.
Note:
Normal Drive mode is the recommended mode for optimal vehicle perfor-
mance.
