Auto Neutral
WARNING
Do not leave the driver’s seat without placing the
shift stalk lever in the neutral position and
applying the parking brake. Failure to do so
could cause property damage and personal
injury.
The auto neutral feature shifts the Detroit
transmission into neutral if the drive direction switch
is left in drive or reverse for an extended period of
time. The driver is warned of a pending shift with a
flashing N in the gear position display of the
instrument cluster. A brief warning buzzer activates
when the transmission shifts into neutral. See
Table 14.3 for all the conditions and indicators that
are possible.
Note: If the auto neutral feature is activated,
apply the service brake and cycle the gear
direction switch to neutral, and back to the
desired position.
Additionally for vehicles equipped with CPC3Evo, if
the engine is shutdown without the drive direction
switch in the N position, the warning buzzer activates
for a long period of time, and a pop-up appears on
the driver display screen, prompting the driver to
place the shifter into the neutral position.
WARNING
If the transmission doesn’t achieve neutral before
shutdown, it will not restart until it can complete
the shift to neutral.
If neutral gear is not achieved, a pop-up message
appears on the driver display screen, encouraging
the driver to start the engine and allow the
transmission to achieve neutral gear.
