Transmission Key Pad Functions:
• Selects Neutral by pressing N . The area around the N button has a raised
ridge so the driver can orient his hand to the Neutral button by touch.
• Selects Reverse gear by pressing R .
• Selects the forward Drive range by pressing D . The SELECT and
MONITOR will indicate " D1 ", indicating the transmission is in 1st
gear. Throughout the subsequent up shifts or downshifts, the SELECT
and MONITOR will indicate the gear the transmission is in.
• The UPSHIFT and DOWNSHIFT arrow buttons are used to select a
higher (if not in fifth gear) or lower (if not in first gear) forward
range. These buttons are not functional in NEUTRAL or REVERSE.
One press changes the gear selected by one range. If the up or down
button is held continuously, the range will continue to change up or
down until the button is released or until the highest/lowest possible
gear is selected.
• The Mode button enables economy mode.
To Enter Economy Mode:
Press the MODE button. The LED will illuminate.
To Exit Economy Mode:
Press the MODE button. The LED will extinguish.
Economy Mode:
Economy mode affects the upshift schedule D-3, D-4, D-5 and downshift
schedule D-5, D-4, D-3. During highway driving, with the cruise control set
between 55 and 65 miles per hour, setting the transmission to Economy Mode will
eliminate about 99% of transmission downshifts from fifth to fourth when incurring
a slight incline or overpass.
In city driving, with the transmission set to Economy Mode, the transmission
will upshift approximately 200 RPM sooner using less fuel with reduced engine
noise. Do not use Economy Mode while traveling in mountain terrain. The lower
RPM shift schedule will reduce the flow of antifreeze, lubricating oil and airflow
through the radiator resulting in increased transmission and engine temperature.
CAUTION: Do not use the economy mode in heavy stop and go
traffic or mountainous terrains. Frequent shifting occurs when in
Economy Mode while using heavy throttle, increasing transmission
fluid temperature. Exit Economy Mode until road conditions
improve.
NOTE: When the Auxiliary Braking device is used, the display
will change to a default reading of D-3. This setting is pre-selected
at the factory and can only be altered by an authorized Allison
Service center. The transmission is not actually in third gear.
This is only a reference point so the transmission will optimize
engine-braking efficiency.
