moving, the transmission will shift into a gear within
the engine’s operating speed range.
When shifting from neutral, always depress the brake
pedal. If the brake pedal is not pressed, the trans-
mission will not shift, the current gear display will
flash N, and an audible alert will sound. To reset the
transmission, return the gear selector switch on the
SmartShift lever to N and attempt the shift again, this
time with the brake pedal pressed.
Before shutting down the engine, return the gear se-
lector switch to N. When the ignition is turned off, the
transmission will reset to neutral in a few minutes
regardless of the position of the gear selector switch.
Drive
Drive (D) is located directly below N on the four-
position gear selector switch on the SmartShift con-
trol lever. To select D, press in the neutral lock button
and move the gear selector switch to the position
below N. When D is selected, the number of the cur-
rently selected forward gear displays on the gear in-
dicator. See
Fig. 15.3 .
When in drive, requests to upshift or downshift are
enabled. Either manual or automatic mode can be
selected on the slide switch.
The default starting gear is second, but first can be
selected by the driver, if desired. To change the start-
ing gear, depress the brake pedal and select D with
the vehicle stopped. The gear indicator will display
the starting gear. Move the control lever up or down
until the desired starting gear is displayed.
The TCU adapts to the working conditions of each
vehicle and its driver. After engine start up or a load
change, it needs to learn the new conditions. While
learning, it may hold a gear too long before upshift-
ing. Start the upshift manually. It may take three or
four shifts before UltraShift succeeds in learning the
new load-based shift points, but after that it will
handle the shifting automatically.
Reverse
Reverse (R) is located at the upper end of the four-
position gear selector switch on the SmartShift con-
trol lever. To select R, press in the neutral lock button
and move the gear selector switch up to the position
above neutral.
The UltraShift transmission has two reverse gears:
Reverse Low (RL) and Reverse High (RH). To shift
manually between them, use the control lever as de-
scribed for MAN mode. There is no AUTO mode for
reverse.
When Reverse Low is selected, the letter R displays
on the gear indicator. When Reverse High is se-
lected, the letter H displays on the gear indicator.
See
Fig. 15.6 .
IMPORTANT: Under normal conditions, do not
select reverse with the vehicle moving forward.
The vehicle must be moving at less than two miles
per hour (3 km/h) before selecting reverse. If reverse
is selected when the vehicle is moving faster, an au-
dible alert will sound and continue sounding at three-
second intervals until the gear selector switch is re-
turned to the D position or the vehicle slows to the
proper speed.
If necessary to rock the vehicle, use the gear selec-
tor switch to shift back and forth at low speed be-
tween reverse and drive.
Low
Low (L) is located at the lower end of the four-
position gear selector switch on the SmartShift con-
trol lever. To select L, press in the neutral lock button
and move the gear selector switch to the position
below D.
When in low, the current gear is maintained. Re-
quests to upshift are not enabled.
IMPORTANT: If the engine is approaching over-
speed, the TCU will override the current gear
setting and upshift to prevent engine damage.
