Controls and Instruments
88
In manual shift mode, the driver use the + and –
buttons to select gears.
The transmission will not automatically change
gears as the driving conditions change. The
current gear is displayed in the DID along with
the up and down arrows. The number of
available upshifts and downshifts will change as
driving conditions change.
When changing a gear, the accelerator pedal
should not be released.
CAUTION
Starting in a too high gear exposes the clutch
to high levels of wear.
CAUTION
The driver must avoid over-revving the
engine.
R Position
The system will select R2 automatically when
the pushbutton shift selector is set to R, but if
wanted, the driver can select R1 as reverse gear
manually using the – button. During reverse, it is
possible to shift between gear R1 and R2 using
the + and – buttons.
TOWING
CAUTION
When towing the vehicle, the transmission
output shaft must not be allowed to spin or
turn. If the vehicle is towed with the drive
wheels still in contact with the road surface,
the vehicle axle shafts or driveline must be
removed or disconnected. Do not attempt to
push or pull-start the vehicle.
CAUTION
Make sure axle shafts or driveshaft are
installed correctly after towing. Tighten axle
shaft and driveshaft nuts to the correct torque
settings. Do not invert shafts.
