Neutral Idle Control Plus
(NIC+)
NOTE
NIC+ is only available for vehicles
equipped with air brakes.
This transmission will shift into neutral
when the vehicle is stationary, and the
service or parking brake is applied. NIC+
absolves the engine from providing power
to the drivetrain when the vehicle has
stopped, saving fuel and reducing the
braking effort required by the operator to
keep the vehicle stationary. When the
parking or service brake is released, the
transmission gradually, and automatically,
shifts back into gear, allowing the vehicle to
creep forward normally.
Parking Pawl (option)
This transmission may be equipped with a
park setting that prevents the vehicle from
rolling. The parking pawl is activated using
the gear shift lever and can also be
engaged (by spring force) when the vehicle
is at a standstill and the ignition switch is
turned to
OFF
. The parking pawl uses the
pawl to lock the transmission output that
engages in the meshing of the output shaft.
This locks the rear wheels by means of the
driveshaft.
Parking Pawl Manual Release
(option)
Transmissions with a Park mode are also
equipped with a way to disengage the
parking pawl directly at the transmission.
Using the manual release places the
transmission in neutral and is useful when
the transmission won't respond to gearing
requests (for example, when the engine
won't start) and the vehicle must be rolled.
See
Manually Releasing the Parking Pawl
on page 24.
NOTE
Activating the parking pawl manual re-
lease will allow the vehicle to roll if the
Parking Brake is not set. Make sure
that the vehicle is prepared to be rol-
led, or that the Parking brake is set,
prior to activating the manual release.
