Transmission

The Transmission vehicle settings menu allows the driver to turn Creep Mode and eCoast on or off.

Creep mode is a DT12 Transmission feature that helps the driver move the vehicle at slow speeds by slipping the clutch to reduce torque to the wheels. It is designed to improve maneuverability in situations like parking, docking, and slow traffic.

To activate Creep mode for the first time within the current driving cycle, press the accelerator pedal to launch the vehicle, thereby fully engaging the clutch. Stopping the vehicle with the service brake will not cause the vehicle to exit Creep Mode. While in Creep Mode, a lower gear may be selected and the transmission can be upshifted or downshifted with the shifter stalk.

The eCoast feature is standard on DT12 engines. On a downslope the clutch will momentarily disengage so the vehicle maintains momentum while the engine idles. Engine rpms will drop to 600 in eCoast mode. Input from the driver will cause the vehicle to exit eCoast mode.

For a fuller coverage of Creep and eCoast mode see the chapter on Automated and Automatic Transmissions.
