Operators Interfaces; Gear Shift Control Lever; Driving Mode Selector; Indicator Light - SSANGYONG 2004 Rexton 2.7XDi Workshop Manual

OPERATORS INTERFACES

There are three operator interfaces as the following;

• Gear Shift Control Lever

• Driving Mode Selector

• Indicator Light

Gear Shift Control Lever
The transmission uses a conventional shift control lever.
The gear shift control lever can be moved from one posi-
tion to another within the staggered configuration of the
shift control lever gate to positively indicate the gear
selection.
• P - Park position prevents the vehicle from rolling either
forward or backward by locking the transmission output
shaft. The inhibitor switch allows the engine to be
started. For safety reasons, the parking should be used
in addition to the park position. Do not select the Park
position until the vehicle comes to a complete stop
because it mechanically locks the output shaft.
• R - Reverse allows the vehicle to be operated in a
rearward direction. The inhibitor switch enables re-verse
lamp operation.
• N - Neutral allows the engine to be started and oper-
ated while driving the vehicle. The inhibitor switch allows
the engine to be started. There is no power transferred
through the transmission in Neutral. But the final drive
is not locked by the parking pawl, so thewheels are
free to rotate.
• D - Overdrive range is used for all normal driving
conditions. 4th gear (overdrive gear) reduces the fuel
consumption and the engine noise. Engine braking is
applied with reduced throttle.
First to second (1 → 2), first to third (1 → 3), second
to third (2 → 3), second to fourth (2 → 4), third to
fourth (3 → 4), fourth to third (4 → 3), fourth to second
(4 → 2), third to second (3 → 2), third to first (3 → 1)
and second to first (2 → 1) shifts are all available as a
function of vehicle speed, throttle position and the time
change rate of the throttle position.
Downshifts are available for safe passing by depress-
ing the accelerator. Lockup clutch may be enabled in
3rd and 4th gears depending on vehicle type.
• 3 - Manual 3 provides three gear ratios (first through
third) and prevents the transmission from operating in
4th gear. 3rd gear is used when driving on long hill
roads or in heavy city traffic. Downshifts are available
by depressing the accelerator.

• 2 - Manual 2 provides two gear ratios (first and second).
It is used to provide more power when climbing hills or
engine braking when driving down a steep hill or starting
off on slippery roads.
• 1 - Manual 1 is used to provide the maximum engine
braking when driving down the severe gradients.

Driving Mode Selector
The driving mode selector consists of a driving mode se-
lector switch and indicator light. The driving mode selector
is located on the center console and allows the driver to
select the driving mode.
The driving modes available to be selected vary with ve-
hicle types. Typically the driver should have the option to
select among NORMAL, POWER and WINTER modes.
When NORMAL mode is selected upshifts will occur to
maximize fuel economy. When POWER mode is se-lected,
upshifts will occur to give maximum performance and the
POWER mode indicator light is switched ON.
When WINTER mode is selected, starting in second gear
is facilitated, the WINTER mode indicator light is switched
ON and the POWER mode indicator light is switched OFF.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located on the instrument panel.
• Auto shift indicator light comes ON when the ignition
switch ON and shows the gear shift control lever posi-
tion.
• POWER mode indicator light comes ON when the
POWER mode is selected and when the kickdown
switch is depressed.
• WINTER mode indicator light comes ON when the
WINTER mode is selected.
