Your motor home is equipped with an automatic transmission.
Please note that this transmission does not provide a PARK
position. You MUST set the parking brake whenever you
park the motor home.
Up- and down-shifting is automatic nnder most driving condi-
tions. You may manually shift the transmission under marginal
or poor traction conditions, up and/or downhill or mountain
driving, or under any driving condition to maintain complete
vehicle control.
This transmission has an electronic control and monitor
system.
Your chassis is equipped with an MD Series transmission, and
will have one of the two types of shifters shown on the next
page. The shifter is connected to an Electronic Control Unit
(ECU), which processes signals from the shifter and in turn
controls the transmission.
The push-button shift selector has snap dome-type switches.
Each pad (R, N, D, Up or Down arrow) is a switch. Just push
on the pad for the desired operation. A slight snap will be felt.
The SELECT indicator displays the chosen operation (if the
shift is acceptable), a "beep" tone will sound and the transmis-
sion will shift to the starting range as indicated on the MONI-
TOR display. In Drive, selection of a specific gear range is
accomplished with the AITOw Pads. Conditions resulting in
the illumination of the DO NOT SHIFT light located on the
instlUment panel or near shift selector, will disable the pad
and no beeps will be heard.
The lever selector is an electro-mechanical control. The
pattern of positions can very according to the shift selector
installed. Positions (R, N, and D) are selected by pressing a
hold ovell'ide button and choosing the desired gear. It is
possible to move between drive positions without pressing the
hold override button.
