Operation
Shuttle Shifting
•
Shuttle shifting from Reverse to any forward mode is only allowed if
the vehicle speed is approximately zero.
Auto Start Gear Selection
•
The transmission system uses various inputs to automatically select
the best start gear in Drive and MANUAL.
•
This selection can be changed using the up/down buttons, however,
if the selection requested could cause damage or engine lugging the
request will be denied and an audible tone will sound.
Skip Shifting
•
When appropriate, the transmission system may skip shift in Drive
mode.
•
Skip shifts can be performed in MANUAL by pressing the up/down
buttons providing the current conditions like load and grade allow
this condition.
Note:
Multiple gear upshifts and downshifts may be allowed when the shift
buttons are pushed multiple times. (Each button push equals one gear
change request.)
Auto Neutral
•
The transmission system will automatically shift to neutral if the
vehicle is left in Drive and the parking brakes are set.
•
“AN” will appear in the gear display. Driver must select Neutral and
then select the desired forward or reverse mode with the service
brake applied.
Remote Throttle (Heavy-Duty Models Only)
•
The Parking Brake must be set and the shift lever must be in Neutral
for Remote Throttle to function. Remote Throttle will not function in
Auto Neutral.
