(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) Occa-
sionally, 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 A11'0W 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 driving up
or down steep grades. Low gear provides the vehicle with its
maximum driving power and maximum engine braking
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.
Every time the engine is statted, the do not shift light comes

on. It will go off after a few seconds. This momentary lighting
is to show that the status light circuit is working properly. If
the light does not come on during engine start, service should
be requested immediately.
