operation. If the engine starts in any other selected gear, the
start circuit should be serviced immediately. The Select indi-
cator will display Neutral and the Monitor will display
Neutral.
(D) (Drive) The vehicle will attain first gear when D is
selected, and as the speed increases, the transmission will
automatically upshift through each gear. As the vehicle slows
down, the transmission will automatically downshift. The
Select indicator will display the highest gear available and
the Monitor will display the current operating gear.
(5, 4, 3, 2) (FIFTH, FOURTH, THIRD and SECOND)
Occasionally, the road conditions, load, or traffic conditions
will make it desirable to restrict the automatic shifting to a
lower gear. These positions also provide progressively
greater engine braking for going down grades (the lower the
gear, the greater the braking effect).
The push-button selector utilizes Arrow Buttons. Push the
Up or Down arrow to the desired gear. The Select indicator
will display your choice and the Monitor will display the
selected gear when it is attained.
(1) (LOW) Use this gear when pulling through mud and
deep snow, when maneuvering in tight spaces, or while dri-
ving up or down steep grades. Low gear provides the vehicle
with its maximum driving power and maximum engine brak-
ing power.
The transmission incorporates a hold feature to prohibit
upshifting above the gear selected during normal driving. For
downhill operation, however, the transmission may upshift
above the highest selected gear when the engine governed
speed is exceeded and damaging engine over-speed is a
possibility.
