Downshifting ("D" and "H" modes without an engine load)

cen dm 08.11.004
  1. Decelerate.
  2. Note: In the "H" mode, depress the upshift button on the gear select handle. Depress twice to skip shift.

  3. An audible tone sounds from the Driver Command Console when the transmission is ready to shift. The arrows on the Driver Display Module indicate the direction engine rpm needs to go to synchronize the next shift. The next gear is shown on the display.
  4. Gently roll on the throttle. The upcoming gear flashes on the display when neutral is engaged. The arrows disappear, the current gear position stops flashing, and engine rpm increases and becomes steady.
  5. Continue decelerating.

    Note:  If the shift is missed, control engine speed in the direction indicated by the arrows on the display to synchronize engine rpm with the transmission's speed.
