Operation
Auto Neutral
•
Auto Neutral automatically shifts the transmission system into a neutral
state if the vehicle is left in a forward or reverse mode and the vehicle
parking brake is set. When this occurs, an “AN” is indicated in the gear
display and an audible tone is emitted. A notification message may also
appear in the dashboard display depending upon specific OEM imple-
mentation.
•
To continue normal operation the driver must perform the following
using the transmission driver interface device:
-
If Pushbutton controlled, select the desired forward or reverse
mode with the vehicle service brake applied.
-
If stalk shifter controlled, select Neutral (N) mode then select the
desired forward or reverse mode with the vehicle service brake
applied.
Note:
Gear display indicators, messages, and tones will vary based on how
the transmission system features and functions are configured in the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) and how the OEM has implemented
them. Refer to OEM for more information on the dashboard display.
Load Based Shifting
•
The transmission system constantly monitors the vehicle operating
conditions and adapts the shift points to ensure the appropriate gear
ratio is requested.
