With SelectShift™:
- the driver can manually shift the transmission to gears 1 through 6.
- the current gear illuminates on the IC.
- the transmission provides additional grade (engine) braking.
- the transmission will select gears that will provide the engine braking desired, based on the vehicle inputs, this will increase engine rpm during engine braking.
The transmission will make some shifts automatically primarily to protect the engine from stalling.
It is recommended to return to DRIVE mode on flat terrain to provide the best fuel economy and transmission function. The transmission returns to O/D when the selector lever is moved to the DRIVE position.
