available. For example, when
4 (Fourth) is shown next to the M,
1 (First) through 4 (Fourth) gears are
automatically shifted by the vehicle.
The transmission will not shift into
5 (Fifth) until the + (Plus) paddle is
used or you shift back into D (Drive).
While in M (Manual Mode), the
transmission will prevent shifting to
a lower gear range if the engine
speed is too high. The DIC will still
indicate the lower gear range
selected, but the transmission will
not initiate the downshift until the
vehicle has met a minimum speed
requirement.
Tap Shift
Vehicles with any axle other than
GW8 have a Tap Shift Mode. Tap
Shift allows the driver to manually
control the automatic transmission.
To use Tap Shift, the shift lever must
be in M (Manual Mode). Vehicles
with this feature have indicators on
the steering wheel. The controls are
on the back of the steering wheel.
Tap the left control to downshift, and
the right control to upshift. The DIC
display indicates the gear the
vehicle is in.
While in M (Manual Mode), the
transmission will prevent shifting to
a lower gear if the engine speed is
too high. If the tap down
paddle is held while the vehicle
slows down, the M in the DIC will
flash, and the downshift will be
allowed when vehicle speed is low
enough. Continuing to hold the tap
down (Minus) paddle will not
cause the transmission to continue
downshifting. Each downshift must
be requested separately by
releasing and reapplying the tap
down (Minus) paddle.
