Controls and Operating
The mode button gives the option to select between transmission
'POWER' (primary shift schedule) and 'ECONOMY' (secondary shift
schedule). The transmission must be in Neutral before the switch will
function. Proper selection of these shift schedules permits vehicle
operation to be tailored towards maximised performance or fuel economy.
The primary shift schedule is the default setting each time the vehicle is
started. The secondary shift shedule can be requested by pressing the
mode button. A red LED on the display indicates that the secondary
schedule is active.
The 'POWER' mode is designed for applications involving heavy loads
and hilly duty cycles where performance is of prime importance. The
'ECONOMY' mode is designed for applications involving lighter loads and
level duty cycles or where fuel economy is more important than
performance. This mode allows earlier upshifts at a lower rev/min.
Displaying Data
Oil level information can be displayed on the gear shift display. To access
the oil information sequence, press the Display Mode Button once on the
gear shift lever. A 2 minute countdown begins when the following
conditions of the vehicle systems are met -
1. Engine at idle.
2. Oil is at operating temperature within range 82-104°C (140-220°F).
3. Transmission is in Neutral 'N'.
4. Transmission output shaft is stationary.
The oil level will be displayed at the end of the 2 minute countdown.
During the countdown, the display flashes out a numerical value starting
at '8' in 15 second intervals, decreasing in number value by 1 each time in
the sequence ie. 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. After the number sequence, the display
will then sequentially flash the oil level information, 2 characters at a time.
• oL ; oK Oil level OK.
• oL ; Lo 1 Oil level is low 1 quart - or as many quarts as required.
• oL ; HI 1 Oil level is high 1 quart - or as many quarts overfilled.

minute countdown. The gear shifter will display one of the following
codes -

• oLEL : Engine RPM too low
• oLEH : Engine RPM too high
• oLSN : Neutral not selected
