Sterling 360 - Parking Brake Lever

5-17
<Automatic transmission vehicles>
Overdrive can be switched on and off with the
switch located on the shift selector.
When the switch is in the “OFF” position, an
indicator illuminates.
• Overdrive ON
Overdrive should be switched on as desired for nor-
mal driving and always for high-speed driving. With
the transmission in “D” (drive), shifts are made auto-
matically from 1st through 6th gears, and fuel con-
sumption is minimized.
In cold weather, the transmission may not initially
make automatic shifts into 5th and 6th gears due to
low fluid temperature. This condition is normal and
will be resolved as the fluid temperature rises.
• Overdrive OFF
Overdrive should be switched off when engine brak-
ing is needed on a downhill grade or on long uphill
grades. In “D” (drive), the transmission shifts auto-
matically from 1st through 4th gears.
NOTE:
Even with the overdrive lockout switch in the “OFF”
position, the transmission will select 5th and 6th
gears if there is any risk of engine overspeed.

WARNING
• Do not use the parking brake when the
vehicle is in motion except in an emer-
gency. Example: The service brakes have
failed. Such use of the parking brake may
make the vehicle spin or roll over, causing
a personal injury or loss of life. It may
also cause damage to vehicle compo-
nents.
• Illumination of the warning does not
necessarily indicate that the parking
brake has been fully activated. Be sure to
pull the lever all the way. The vehicle
could roll, causing an injury or loss of life.
