DO NOT transport or load cargo in the front passenger area or leave loose items on the

1. Depress the foot brake pedal.
2. Release the parking brake.

Selecting Gear Range (typical)
This section is for vehicles equipped with a full range shifter. Refer to Allison 2100 section for
additional functions with this transmission.
A full range shifter will have one reverse gear, 3 or 4 selectable forward gear ranges, and
Overdrive on some transmissions. It will also have a Park and/or Neutral position. The actual
type of shifter will vary depending on the vehicle configuration.
The highest gear range will be represented by the highest available number or represented by
the letter "D".
Use the highest range available for most driving conditions. The transmission will select the
range most suitable for the current driving conditions.
Selecting overdrive when driving longer distances with lighter loads will increase fuel economy.
Use lower ranges to increase engine braking on downgrades. Each successive lower range will
have more braking power than the higher range.
Reversing Direction
Always come to a complete stop before moving the shift lever to Neutral, Park or other direction.
Stopping
Release the throttle pedal and use your right foot to depress the brake pedal. The amount of
force required to stop the vehicle will vary depending on the environment and load on the vehicle.
Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a stop at an authorized parking space.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Place the shift lever in Park or Neutral if Park is not available.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Note: If parking this vehicle on an incline, turn the wheels to the curb, or block the wheels.
