Gear Engagement
1.
Turn the ignition key to “ON” and allow the system to power-up.
Note:
Engine cranking is delayed until the transmission power-up is complete
and the gear display shows a solid “N”.
2.
Start the engine.
3.
Apply service brake.
Note:
If the service brake is not applied while selecting a starting gear, the initial
start gear will not engage, requiring the driver to select Neutral
and apply the
brake while selecting the desired mode.
4.
Select the desired mode and starting gear on the shift console.
Note:
The transmission overrides inappropriate start gear selections to avoid
driveline damage.
5.
Release vehicle parking brake.
6.
Release service brake and apply accelerator.
Important:
If the driver presses and holds both pedals (even if done
accidentally), the launch will be abrupt, and the engine and brake forces may
rock and bounce the vehicle, which could damage the driveline. Releasing either
pedal will stop this immediately
