Page 9: Start-Up And Power Down
Operation Start-Up and Power Down Start-Up 1. Turn ignition key to On with the engine off to allow the transmission system to power-up. Note: Engine cranking is delayed until the transmission system power-up is complete and the gear display shows a solid “N” indicating the transmis- sion is in neutral gear position. -
Page 10: Power Down
Operation Power Down 1. Safely bring vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Continue to depress and hold the vehicle service brake. 3. Select Neutral (N) mode using the transmission driver interface device. Note: A solid “N” in the gear display indicates the transmission is in neutral gear position. -
Page 11: Reverse Mode
Operation Reverse Mode • Selects Reverse (R) mode and a reverse gear position. Note: If the vehicle service brake is not depressed prior to selecting Reverse (R) mode using the transmission driver interface device, the request will be denied. If the request was denied, select Neutral (N) mode, depress and hold the vehicle service brake and re-select. -
Page 12: Neutral Mode
Operation Neutral Mode • Selects Neutral (N) mode and neutral gear position. • Neutral is the initial gear position after Start-Up and the final gear posi- tion before Power Down. WARNING: Apply vehicle parking brake and follow OEM parking instruc- tions. -
Page 13: Drive Mode (Auto Mode)
Operation Drive Mode (Auto Mode) • Selects Drive (D) mode and a forward gear position. Note: If the vehicle service brake is not depressed prior to selecting Drive (D) mode using the transmission driver interface device, the request will be denied. -
Page 14: Manual Mode
Operation MANUAL Mode MANUAL mode allows the driver to manually shift gears instead of letting the transmission system select gears automatically. • The driver requests gear shifts using the transmission driver interface device to Upshift or Downshift to the desired gears. Multiple gear Upshifts and Downshifts may be allowed, each Upshift/Downshift request equals one gear change. - Page 15 Operation MANUAL / Hold Mode Gear Hold Mode Gear is used to limit the use of MANUAL mode. When Hold Mode Gear is configured in the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to a specific gear, MANUAL mode becomes a hold gear function only. The default configuration for this function in the TCM is Disabled.
-
Page 16: Low Mode
Operation LOW Mode LOW mode allows the driver to maximize engine braking and minimize the use of the vehicle service brake when driving down long grades or coming to a stop. • The driver may select LOW mode using the transmission driver inter- face device while the vehicle is moving to prevent the transmission sys- tem from Upshifting, and support Downshifting at the earliest opportunity to enable higher engine RPM to promote maximum engine... -
Page 17: Transmission Manual / Low Mode Override
Operation Transmission MANUAL / LOW Mode Override The transmission system may automatically override or prevent the driver's Upshift or Downshift request on the transmission driver interface device or automatically initiate a gear change based on vehicle operating conditions. If the transmission system overrides or prevents a mode request, an audible tone may be emitted. -
Page 18: Snow/Ice Operation
Operation Snow/Ice Operation This transmission system is designed to work in coordination with the vehicle's traction control system to ensure optimal operation. • If the driver observes low friction road conditions (rain, ice, snow, etc.) and does not want the transmission system to make a gear shift, the driver may select MANUAL (M) mode using the transmission driver interface device. -
Page 19: Trailer Operation
Operation Trailer Operation Trailer Connecting and Sliding Trailer Axle • Prior to backing the vehicle under the trailer, ensure proper trailer height. • Select the lowest available start gear for Drive (1st) or Reverse (R1) using the Downshift function as needed on the transmission driver interface device. -
Page 20: Features
Operation Features Hill Start Aid • Hill Start Aid (HSA) requests the vehicle foundation brake system to temporarily hold (3 seconds) the vehicle in place when stopped on a grade of 3% or greater to allow the driver to transition from the vehicle service brake pedal to the vehicle accelerator pedal to achieve a con- trolled launch. -
Page 21: Vehicle Facing Uphill - Forward Mode (Hsa)
Operation Vehicle Facing Uphill – Forward Mode (HSA) 1. The transmission system must be in Drive (D) mode and on an incline greater than the Hill Start Aid Threshold configuration setting (1%, 2% or 3%) in the Transmission Control Module (TCM). 2. -
Page 22: Clutch Abuse Protection
Operation Clutch Abuse Protection • Clutch Abuse Protection alerts the driver that the clutch is overheating due to improper use. When a Clutch Abuse Protection event occurs, a “CA” is indicated in the gear display and/or a clutch temperature mes- sage is shown on the dashboard display and an audible tone may be emitted. -
Page 23: Engine Overspeed Protection
Operation Engine Overspeed Protection • The transmission system will automatically Upshift if necessary to pre- vent engine overspeed in Drive, MANUAL and LOW modes. Shuttle Shifting • Shuttle shifting the transmission system between a forward or reverse mode is allowed if the vehicle speed is approximately 2 MPH or less. Smart Gear Selection •... -
Page 24: Auto Neutral
Operation Auto Neutral • Auto Neutral automatically shifts the transmission system into a neutral state if the vehicle is left in a forward or reverse mode and the vehicle parking brake is set. When this occurs, an “AN” is indicated in the gear display and an audible tone is emitted. -
Page 25: Coast Mode
Operation Coast Mode • Coast Mode prevents the transmission system from downshifting through each lower gear when the driver is bringing the vehicle to a stop. If the transmission system determines the vehicle is coasting and is in a gear below the Coast Down Gear configured in the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the transmission system will automatically shift into a neutral state, allowing the vehicle to roll uninterrupted as the driver brings it to a stop. -
Page 26: Neutral Coast Mode
Operation Neutral Coast Mode Neutral Coast Mode automatically shifts the transmission system into a neutral state on slight downhill grades when all of the following conditions are met: • Vehicle Cruise Control is on • Transmission is in Drive (D) mode •... -
Page 27: Urge To Move (Autolaunch)
Operation Urge to Move (AutoLaunch) • Urge to Move allows the vehicle to automatically start moving at engine idle speed when the transmission system is in a forward or reverse mode and the driver releases the vehicle service brake. After the vehicle has launched and begun moving, the transmission system will transi- tion into Creep Mode. -
Page 28: Force Hold / Force Neutral Operation
Operation Force Hold / Force Neutral Operation Force Neutral and Hold Neutral operation allow the driver the use of a separate vehicle switch circuit to place and hold the transmission system in a neutral state while a vehicle specific vehicle operation is performed. Note: The Force Neutral and Hold Neutral features are configured in the Trans- mission Control Module (TCM) at the OEM or body builder. -
Page 29: Transmission Power Take Off Operation
Operation Transmission Power Take Off Operation A transmission Power Take Off (PTO) feature is available for Stationary PTO operation in Neutral and Mobile PTO operation in a forward or reverse start gear.
