Downshifting

SD DM 14.03.07

    Note: With the transmission in drive (D) in the automatic mode, downshifts require no driver interaction.

  1. 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.

    2. Note: A single, momentary push downward on the control selects the next lower gear when it is available. Two consecutive, momentary downward pushes will cause a skip shift, when the next two lower gears are available and conditions are right.

    Note: The Eaton Fuller AutoShift transmission is able to perform triple downshifts when the next three lower gears are available and conditions are right. To triple shift this transmission, move the control three times in less than 1/2 second.

  2. 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. 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.
