Downshifting
- With the transmission in drive in the manual mode, request a downshift by pushing downward on the control. If the requested gear is available, the transmission will downshift.
- To skip shift, move the control two times in less than
1/2 second. The number of the gear engaged will appear on the message
display screen.
Note: The Eaton Fuller AutoShift 18-speed transmission is able to perform triple upshifts when the next three higher gears are available and conditions are right. To triple-shift this transmission, move the control three times in less than 1/2 second.
If a requested gear is not available, an audible warning will sound and the gear display module will indicate that the requested gear is not available. Unlike upshifting, an unavailable requested downshift is stored in memory and the shift will be made when the gear is available. The time limit for this memory is a programmable parameter.
Note: With the transmission in drive (D) in the automatic mode, upshifts require no driver interaction.
Note: A single, momentary pull upward on the control selects the next higher gear when it is available. Two consecutive, momentary upward pulls will cause a skip shift when the next two higher gears are available and conditions are right.
