(manual shift mode) and AUTO (automatic drive
mode).
NOTE: In automatic drive mode, upshifts and
downshifts require no driver interaction. Move
the selector switch to the drive (D) position, dis-
engage the clutch to engage the gear selected,
engage the clutch and drive the vehicle. In
manual shift mode, upshifts and downshifts re-
quire either a pull upward or push downward on
the control.
Driver Message Center
Gear information is presented to the driver on the
dash display. In automatic drive mode, the number of
the forward gear currently engaged appears continu-
ally on the message display screen when in drive
(D). In manual shift mode, the current gear is dis-
played until a new gear is requested. When neutral
(N) is engaged, "N" will appear on the message dis-
play screen. When reverse (R) is engaged, either
"RL" or "RH" will appear on the message display
screen.
IMPORTANT: The information shown on the
message display screen indicates the state of
the transmission only, not the state of the
SmartShift control.
Neutral Position
Select neutral by sliding the selector switch to the
"N" position.
NOTE: Neutral is always available during opera-
tion. When in neutral, upshift and downshift re-
quests are ignored. If the mode selector switch
is moved from neutral (N) to drive (D) while the
vehicle is moving, the transmission will shift into
a gear causing the engine to go to a high torque
level, under the engine’s rated torque.
WARNING
Do not coast in neutral. Coasting in neutral can
cause an accident, possibly resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
Selecting a Starting Gear
1.
In automatic mode, select drive (D) by sliding the
selector switch downward to the next position
below the neutral position.
2.
Disengage the clutch to engage the gear se-
lected. Engage the clutch and drive the vehicle.
Changing the Default Starting Gear
To select a starting gear other than the default start-
ing gear, follow the instructions below.
1.
Make sure the vehicle is stopped and in drive.
2.
In either automatic or manual mode, pull upward
on the control (to increase), or push downward
(to decrease). Each pull upward on the control
increases the starting gear by one gear, but no
higher than fourth gear.
3.
The number of the gear selected will flash on the
message display screen until the driver engages
the clutch. This gear will be stored in memory as
the default starting gear until either a different
starting gear is selected by the driver or the en-
gine is shut down.
NOTE: The transmission may also be pro-
grammed so that it is not possible to select a
starting gear other than the preprogrammed de-
fault starting gear.
Upshifting
NOTE: With the transmission in drive (D) in the
automatic mode, upshifts require no driver inter-
action.
