OPERATION 147
R
Use this to back the vehicle. Completely stop the vehicle
and let the engine return to idle before shifting from forward
to reverse or from reverse to forward. The reverse warning
signal sounds when this gear is selected. The digital display
will display
R when reverse is selected.
N
Use neutral when starting the engine, to check vehicle
accessories, and for extended periods of engine idle
operation (longer than five minutes). For vehicles equipped
with the pushbutton selector, neutral is selected by the ECU
during start-up. If the vehicle starts in any range other than
neutral, seek service immediately. Neutral is also used during
stationary operation of the power takeoff (if equipped). The
digital display will show
N when neutral is selected. Always
select neutral before turning off the vehicle engine.
D
The transmission will initially attain first-range when drive is
selected. As vehicle speed increases, the transmission will
upshift automatically through each range. As the vehicle
slows, the transmission will downshift automatically through
each range. The digital display will show the highest range
available in
D (drive).

Occasionally, road, load or traffic conditions will make it
desirable to restrict automatic shifting to a lower range.
(When conditions improve, the gear selector should be
returned to the normal drive position.) These positions also
provide greater engine braking for going down grades (the
lower the range, the greater the braking effect). Note that
even if a lower range is selected, the transmission may not
downshift until vehicle speed is reduced. The digital display
shows the range selected.
1
Use this gear when pulling through mud or deep snow,
maneuvering in tight spaces, or while driving up or down
steep grades. First-range provides the vehicle with its
maximum driving torque and engine braking effect. Push the
down arrow until first-range appears in the select window.
The 4500 RDS shift selector is an electronic control unit with membrane-type
push-button switches.
In addition to the R, N, D, Up arrow and Down arrow push buttons, the 4500
RDS shift selector incorporates a MODE button, which allows the driver to
enable a secondary shift schedule or other special function.
When you select and depress the desired operating range, a slight click will
be felt and a tone will sound.
In D (drive), selection of a specific range can be accomplished by pressing the
Up or Down arrow buttons to reach the desired operating range.
