Changing the Default Starting Gear

108SD d 14.04.004

To select a starting gear other than the default starting gear, follow the instructions below.

  1. Make sure the vehicle is stopped and in drive.
  2. In either automatic or manual mode, pull upward (to increase) or push downward (to decrease) on the SmartShift control lever. Each pull upward on the control increases the starting gear by one gear, but no higher than fourth gear.
  3. The number of the gear selected will flash on the gear indicator until the driver releases the clutch. This gear will be stored in memory as the default starting gear until either a different starting gear is selected by the driver or the engine is shut down.

    Note: The transmission may also be programmed so that it is not possible to select a starting gear other than the preprogrammed default starting gear.
