Shifting

Transmission Information on the display:

• The situations that the driver may experience with the prevention mechanisms are listed below:

"Shift up" warning: engaged gear is smaller than required by the engine speed. Shift up. CAUTION Driving in lower gears than required increases fuel consumption. As the engine speed shall be higher in smaller gears, it will tire the engine more.

1. Driver wants to shift from 4th to 5th, but forgets the switch the latch to high range (upwards) when the vehicle is accelerating: Shift lever cannot be shifted to 1⁄2 range and the driver is warned about this. 2. Driver wants to shift from 6th to 5th, but switches the latch to low range inadvertently when the vehicle is decelerating: As the transmission will try to shift to 1st in this condition, the shift prevention mechanism is activated and prevents the shift operation, and moves the shift lever to the 3⁄4 range, and driver is warned about this. 3. Trying to shift from 8th to 5th when the vehicle is moving with a certain speed: Shift lever cannot be shifted to 1⁄2 range and the driver is warned about this. 4. Trying to shift from low range to high range when the vehicle is moving with a certain speed: System denies the shift to the low range. Driver is not allowed to shift to low range. • Prevention mechanisms of the transmission specified above are intended to protect the gear and synchronizer mechanisms in the transmission, and these are not error modes.
