• Do not press the brake and accelerator ped-als at the same time. Use only one foot to
operate the brake and accelerator. When
starting on a hill, it may be helpful to engage
the parking brake to hold the vehicle, and
then release the parking brake as you accel-
erate from the stop.
• If the vehicle is moving, REVERSE engage- ment will only occur if the vehicle speed is
less than 2 mph (3 km/h). Otherwise, a
chime will sound, a "Shift not Allowed" mes-
sage will appear in the instrument cluster
display, and the transmission will shift to
NEUTRAL. Return the gear selector to NEU-
TRAL, bring the vehicle to a complete stop,
and then shift to REVERSE.
• During closed-throttle decelerations in MANUAL (M) mode, the transmission will
shift down through the gears automatically
(to prevent engine lugging), coming to first
gear at a stop. After a stop, the driver should
manually upshift (+) the transmission as the
vehicle is accelerated. • Very aggressive driving may result in some
clutch odor. A warning message will appear
in the instrument cluster display if cool
down actions are needed.
• Like a manual transmission, mechanical sounds may be heard under normal operat-
ing conditions. You may also notice a hy-
draulic pump running occasionally, even be-
fore starting the engine. This is normal and
will not damage the vehicle.
• Never leave your vehicle with the transmis- sion in NEUTRAL (N). Always place your
vehicle in gear when leaving the vehicle. It is
essential to wait until the gear engaged ap-
pears in the display before turning the en-
gine off and releasing the brake pedal. Al-
ways remember to set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. For further information, and applicable warn-
ings and cautions, please refer to the Diesel
