D (Drive)
Use this position for all normal driving condi- tions. After touching this pad, the vehicle will start in first or
second range and will automati- cally upshift to a higher range as output speed increases. As the
vehicle slows down, output speed decreases, the transmission automatical- ly downshifts to the correct
range. If a locked brake or a slick surface condition should occur, the TCM (Transmission Control
Module) will command converter operation (disconnect lock- up) and inhibit downshifts for a period of
time or until normal wheel speed has been restored.
1.
(First range)Select this range when pulling
through mud and snow, when speed control is
needed for driving up or down steep grades or
when maneuvering in tight spaces. This range
also provides maxi- mum driving torque and
engine braking power or retarder braking effect.
In the lower ranges (1, 2, 3 and 4), the
transmission will not upshift above the highest
gear selected unless engine overspeed is
detected.
WARNING
Service brake should not be used to control
the speed of vehicle on long, steep
descents. Instead, lower transmission
ranges should be used (in conjunction with
output retarder. Refer to "Engine Brake" and
"Transmission Retarder" headings in
Section 5
Other Fea- tures
for details
regarding both systems. This procedure
keeps service brake cool and ready for
emergency stopping.
!
CAUTION
When descending in lower ranges, care must
be taken that engine speed does not exceed
2,450 rpm.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Brake pedal must be applied when selecting
«D» (Drive) otherwise the transmission will
stay in «N» (Neutral).

NOTE
The transmission should normally be
allowed to shift by itself, but manual shifting
can be done as described below.
