PUSHBUTTON SHIFT SELECTOR
The pushbutton shift selector has four gear
positions: R, N, D and M.
R= Reverse
N= Neutral
D= Drive
M= Manual program
It is not possible to shift either directly from R
position to D or M position nor from D or M position to
R position. N position must be selected first. If the
driver executes such gear shifts, the transmission
will shift automatically to N position.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL
When changing gear, the accelerator pedal should
not be released. The system will govern the clutch,
gearbox and engine speed. The system selects the
gear and the point in time for gear changing for
optimum driving performance based on the
accelerator pedal position, road inclination, etc.
ECONOMY AND PERFORMANCE MODE
When the engine is started, the transmission is in
Economy mode. The transmission automatically
selects shift points and engine parameters to
maximize fuel economy. Economy mode is primarily
used when driving under normal conditions.
The Performance mode gives driveability the highest
priority for optimum driving in traffic condition and
gradeability.
NOTE
Operating the vehicle in Performance mode for
extended periods can result in a loss of fuel
economy.
ECO-ROLL MODE (FREEWHEEL FUNCTION)
Eco-Roll reduces fuel consumption by automatically
disengaging the driveline when the engine is not
needed to maintain vehicle speed. When Eco-Roll is
active, the engine speed is temporarily reduced to
idle. Eco-Roll can be used during normal driving with
the accelerator pedal or while in cruise control mode.
Eco- Roll is only available when the
engine brake is in Auto mode . First,
set the dashboard Engine Brake switch
to the ON position.
When Eco- Roll is enabled, the DID shows E+.
When Eco- Roll intervenes, the selected gear
displayed in the DID (7–12) will change momentarily
to N1 or N2.
Eco-Roll disengages as soon as the brake pedal or
the accelerator pedal is depressed, but it remains
available. To disable Eco-Roll, set the dashboard
Engine Brake switch to the OFF position. Eco-Roll is
not available when the Engine Brake Low or
Engine Brake High modes are selected.
When Eco- Roll is enabled, it activates
automatically, but only when the following conditions
exist:
l Accelerator pedal is released.
l Service brake is released.
l Engine brake is in Auto mode .
