▶ Low Range Schedule
When the transfer case is in 4L position, the transmission uses a different shift map to optimise
low range driving. Similar to winter mode, 1st gear is inhibited. The transmission may skip
gears, e.g. 2-4, to optimise engine rpm.
▶ Warm up Schedule
Used typically when transmission fluid temperature is below 20°C.
The torque converter will not lock-up below 20°C to assist in transmission warm-up.
▶ Hot Mode
The hot mode is progressively applied between temperatures of 110°C-
torque converter lock-up is increased to prevent heat generation by the torque converter.
As additional assistance to the hot mode, the following are activated:
- Above 110°C - the electrical radiator fans are switch ON
- Above 130°C - the engine torque will be reduced and the WINTER light on the
instrument cluster will flash
- Above 145°C - the transmission will neutralise until the fluid temperature falls below
120°C as a final protection.
Activation of the hot mode inhibits other transmission performance features including uphill and
downhill compensation and altitude compensation. Some degradation in shift feel may be
experienced as the torque converter is not unlocked during shifting. The fluid temperature must
be below 105캜 to exit all hot modes.
▶ Cruise
When cruise control is activated the engine ECU may request the transmission to downshift
under trailing throttle conditions to increase engine braking.
