CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
problem in the transmission, a buzzing tone
sounds for 5 seconds and the "CHECK TRANS"
light on the dashboard illuminates to warn the
driver that the transmission is held in gear. If
another is depressed, the buzzing sound will
continue until the original range is selected.
Note: As a light bulb and systems check, the
"CHECK TRANS" light will illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to ON. After about two
seconds the light will turn off. If the "CHECK
TRANS" light remains on, the self-diagnostic
system has detected a problem. If the problem
disappears, the light will go out, but a trouble
code will remain stored in the ECU.
WORLD TRANSMISSION CONTROL PAD 07025
RANGE SELECTION – PUSH BUTTON
SHIFTER
The push button shifter is used by the operator
to select Neutral (N), Reverse (R) or a range of
forward gears (D). When the forward range has
been selected, the transmission starts in the
lowest gear and, as conditions permit,
automatically upshifts until the highest gear is
selected.
The digital display indicates the selected gear of
transmission operation.
The function of each button is as follows:
• Select REVERSE gear by pressing "R".
• Select NEUTRAL by pressing "N". Note the
raised edge around the "N" button so the
driver can orient his hand to the push
buttons by touch, without looking at the
display. It is not necessary to press this
button prior to starting the vehicle.
• Select DRIVE range by pressing "D". The
highest forward gear will appear on the
display and the transmission will shift to the
starting gear (not shown on the display).
The "
" and " " buttons are used to shift to a
higher or lower range. One press changes
gears by one range. If the button is held down,
the selection will scroll up or down until the
button is released or until the highest or lowest
possible range is selected. Protection
mechanisms inhibit selecting ranges that are not
appropriate for the current speed or which may
damage driveline components.
FUNCTIONS OF THE “MODE” BUTTON
This button is used to invoke a special function
(mode) that has been programmed into the
ECU. Both modes are equivalent from the first
to the fourth gear as the transmission upshifts at
around 2000 rpm.
The default "ECONOMY" mode allows for
upshifts in fifth and sixth gear at around 1700
rpm. This is a more efficient operation of the
transmission and thereby helps improve fuel
economy.
The "PERF" (performance) mode keeps upshifts
at 2000 rpm in fifth and sixth gears. This makes
for better performance than the economy mode
but with a higher fuel consumption. It is
recommended this mode be selected while
driving up or down grades. The mode status will
be indicated on the digital display by a red LED
illuminating in the upper right corner of the
MODE button when selected.
Oil Level Display Mode (optional)
Select oil level display mode by pressing
simultaneously on the "
" and " " keys. A first
press will indicate the transmission fluid level
after a two-minute wait if the following conditions
are met:
• The vehicle is not moving;
• The engine is in normal idle;
• The transmission has reached it’s normal
operating temperature;
• Transmission is in NEUTRAL;
• The sender unit is functional.
A code will be displayed one digit at a time.
Refer to Technical Information chapter under Oil
Level Sensor Codes.
