FIRST (1): For the Hydra-Matic
®
4-Speed transmission
this position reduces vehicle speed even more than
SECOND (2) without using the brakes. You can use it on
very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the shift lever
is put in FIRST (1) while the vehicle is moving forward,
the transmission does not shift into first gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.
For an Allison Transmission
®
or Hydra-Matic
®
6-Speed
transmission, this position reduces vehicle speed
without using your brakes. You can use it for
major/severe downgrades and off-road driving where
the vehicle would otherwise accelerate due to steepness
of grade. When you shift to FIRST (1) it provides the
lowest gear appropriate to your current road speed and
continues to downshift as the vehicle slows, eventually
downshifting to FIRST (1) gear.
Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle
in one place on a hill using only the accelerator
pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will
not be covered by your warranty. If you are stuck,
do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill,
use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
Range Selection Mode (Allison
®
or
Hydra-Matic
®
6-Speed Transmission)
Your vehicle may have a Range Selection Mode.
The Range Selection Mode helps control the vehicle’s
transmission and vehicle speed while driving down hill or
towing a trailer by letting you select a desired range of
gears.
