Driving and Operating
next to the L, indicating the highest
gear available for the range
selected.
To use this feature:
1. Press the shift lever button and
move the shift lever to L
(Manual Mode).
2. Press + (Plus) or
−
(Minus) on
the shift lever to increase or
decrease the gear range
available.
When you shift from D (Drive) to L
(Manual Mode), the transmission
will shift to a pre-determined lower
gear range. The highest gear
available for this pre-determined
range is displayed next to the L in
the DIC. See
. The number
displayed in the DIC is the highest
gear that the transmission will be
allowed to operate in. This means
that all gears below that number are
available. For example, when
4 (Fourth) is shown next to the L,
1 (First) through 4 (Fourth) gears
are automatically shifted by the
vehicle. The transmission will not
shift into 5 (Fifth) until the + (Plus)
button is used or you shift back into
D (Drive).
If the transmission is in 6 (Sixth)
gear when L (Manual Mode) is
selected, a downshift to 4 (Fourth)
will be commanded. If in 5 (Fifth)
through 2 (Second) a single
downshift will occur.
While in L (Manual Mode), the
transmission will prevent shifting to
a lower gear range if the engine
speed is too high. You have a brief
period of time to slow the vehicle.
If vehicle speed is not reduced
within the time allowed, the lower
gear range shift will not be
completed. You must further slow
the vehicle, then press
−
(Minus) to
the desired lower gear range.
Automatic Engine Grade Braking is
not available when the ERS is
active. It is available in D (Drive) for
both normal driving and Tow/Haul
Mode. While using the ERS, cruise
control and the Tow/Haul Mode can
be used. See
