Other products contain formaldehyde or urea-formaldehyde resins, such
as some carpets, draperies, upholstery, fabrics, deodorizers, cosmetics, and
permanent- press fabrics. Formaldehyde is also a by-product of combustion,
and is produced by cigarettes and gas appliances.
The concentration of formaldehyde in the indoor air depends on the quan-
tity and emission rates of all emitting products in the structure compared to the
volume of indoor air and the fresh air ventilation rate. As with other indoor pol-
lutants, ventilation should reduce formaldehyde levels.
CAUTION
FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS IN THE INDOOR AIR CAN CAUSE
TEMPORARY EYE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, AND MAY
AGGRAVATE RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS OR ALLERGIES.

Reprinted from Allison bulletin SA2742.
Situation: Highway Driving (Level Terrain)
Technique: Operating in the Drive mode is recommended for normal driving
conditions to reduce engine RPM for maximum fuel economy. If
the vehicle is equipped with an electronic controlled World
Transmission and has a secondary shift schedule option, the
mode switch should be ON for secondary mode versus OFF for
the primary mode.
Situation: Mountainous Driving (Up & Down Terrain)
Technique: Manually preselect a lower gear in order to maintain engine speed
within a range of 500 RPM of engine governed speed. Road speed
may decrease but power (torque) will remain at peak output while
ascending a grade. When descending a grade, never use a higher
gear than was used climbing that same grade. The selection of a
lower gear will also minimize cycling between a gear and the next
gear on a series of short up & down hills.
Situation: City Driving (Stop & Go Traffic)
Technique: Select the highest range that will allow the vehicle to reach the
speed you expect to maintain between stops. This will minimize
cycling between a gear and the next higher gear while driving in
stop & go traffic conditions. When traffic conditions return to
normal, move the selector back to the Drive position.
WARNING: In the event you leave the vehicle or driving compartment, even
momentarily, while the engine is running, be sure the transmis-
sion selector is in Neutral and the parking brake and/or emergen-
cy brakes are set and properly engaged. Unexpected and possible
sudden vehicle movement may occur if these precautions are not
taken.
