TRANSMISSION

Explanation of the Selector lever positions:

–Park position enables the engine to be started

while preventing the vehicle from rolling either

forward or backward. For safety reasons, the

vehicle’s parking brake should be used in addition

to the transmission “Park” position. Since the

output shaft is mechanically locked to the case

through the parking pawl and rear internal gear,

Park position should not be selected until the

vehicle has come to a complete stop.

R–Reverse enables the vehicle to be operated

in a rearward direction.

–Neutral position enables the engine to start and

operate without driving the vehicle. If necessary,

this position should be selected to restart the

engine while the vehicle is moving.

–Drive range should be used for all normal

driving conditions for maximum efficiency and fuel

economy. Drive range allows the transmission to

operate in each of the six forward gear.

Downshifts to a lower gear, or higher gear ratio

are available by depressing the accelerator pedal.

M/S

–Manual / Sport Position:

This position allows the driver to switch to Sport

mode or activate Manual mode to select gear like

a manual gearbox. The vehicle will remain in

Sport mode if the shifter is not moved. As soon as

shifter is moved forward or toward, the manual

mode is activated.

Shift Lock:

Shift Lock ensures proper operation

of the automatic transmission. The driver must

depress the brake pedal in order to move the gear

selector from Park (P) or Neutral (N) to any other

range

Reverse Lock Out:

The selector shall not be

moved into reverse while driving forward.

However, in case selector lever is moved into

Reverse (R) range, Reverse gear cannot be

engaged until the vehicle speed is less than a

threshold speed. This is to prevent Reverse

engagement.

Engine Braking:

In Drive, engine braking is

available in all gears except in 1st gear.

In Manual Mode, engine braking active in first

gear also.

Safety Mode:

If for any reason, a transmission

component default, the TCU will set a Diagnostic

Trouble Code (DTC) can be seen in diagnostic

software will not appear on dashboard. The

transmission may turn into a safety Mode.

There is degraded mode where a gear or torque

limitation will be active.

In case of severe failure, the transmission may

turn into a hydraulically safety mode and will

default to 3rdor 5thgear depending on condition.

For example, total loss of Controls.
