Operation
Eaton AutoShift® Transmissions (Optional)
WARNING
To prevent unexpected vehicle movement, hold
the brake pedal down while you move the
gearshift from position to position. Hold down
both brake and clutch pedal while pushing the
“R” and “D” button. If you do not hold the brake
pedal down, your vehicle may move unexpectedly
and cause property damage, personal injury, or
death.
The optional Eaton AutoShift® transmission is a partially
automatic transmission that automatically selects and engages
the proper transmission gears. Vehicles are equipped with a
clutch pedal that must be used when starting and stopping the
vehicle.
To shift the Eaton transmission into Reverse (R) or Drive (D),
first place foot on the brake and clutch pedal. When in Drive
(D), the transmission selects the starting gear and automatically
selects the proper gears for operating loads.
If low (L) is
selected while the vehicle is stopped, the transmission will
remain in low gear until another gear is selected. If selected
while in motion, the transmission will downshift when it is safe
to do so. To place the transmission in neutral, press the (N)
button. Manual mode should be used whenever the driver wants
to select the shifts instead of letting AutoShift® transmission
select them automatically. For operating instructions refer to the
Transmission Manual.
The current gear selection and other information is also
displayed on the instrument panel gauge cluster display.
