OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVE Mode
• Automatically selects the start gear (see Note* page 134). The
selected start gear will vary depending on several vehicle inputs
like load, grade, and axle/transmission ratio. This start gear can be
changed by up or down shifting using the righthand steering column
stalk, as long as the selection still falls into a gear that would allow
the vehicle to launch without causing damage to the transmission.
• If the start gear is changed by up or down shifting, it will remain
as the default until the vehicle is powered down or the selection is
changed by up or down shifting again.
• Automatically performs all upshifts and downshifts in all gears
except 1st (Only on the UltraShift PLUS Vocational Multipurpose
Series (VMS) models) and Reverse on all models.
• A shift can be advanced by up or down shifting when the
transmission is near the shift point.
• The transmission may also deny a shift while ascending or
descending grades if the load of the vehicle, and grade of the terrain
in combination with the drivetrain ratio and engine torque will fall
outside of the acceptable range to perform a shift. If the shift is
denied it will sound a tone.
Multiple gear upshifts and downshifts may be allowed when the up/
downshift request procedure is performed multiple times (Each request
equals one gear change request).
Prior to ascending a steep grade the driver should reduce default start
gear by one or ensure full throttle is applied for the duration of the grade
so the vehicle maintains the proper engine and vehicle speed during the
entire grade. The driver can shift down by using the downshift procedure.
If the driver depresses 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. Releasing either pedal will stop this immediately.
