+ and - position operation
These positions allow the driver to
manually select the appropriate
upshift (+) or downshift (-) and
gear range.
• Can only be entered from the D5
(Overdrive) shift position.
• Gear ranges 1–5 provide the same
function and ratio as found in the
D5 or D4 automatic mode
positions.
• The transmission will not upshift
or downshift unless the gearshift
lever is moved forward or
rearward.
• One tap forward (+) will
command the transmission to upshift one gear range.
• One tap rearward (-) will command the transmission to downshift one
gear range.
• Upshifts are allowed at any vehicle speed.
• 2 (Second) gear is normally used for start-up. A 3 (Third) gear
start-up will be allowed only if selected. All other selection(s) will
revert to 2 (Second) gear.
• If the driver starts in 2 (Second) gear and does not pass a throttle
angle of 60%, the transmission will remain in 2 (Second) gear. No
automatic upshift will occur.
• If the driver passes the 60% throttle angle, a 2–1 kickdown will occur,
scheduled by the processor as used in D5. Once the 2–1 kickdown has
occurred, the transmission will remain in 1 (First) gear until 2
(Second) gear is manually selected by moving the gearshift lever. No
automatic upshift will occur.
• Once a 2–1 kickdown has occurred, manually shifting in and out of 1
(First ) gear is allowed until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
• A shift to 1 (First) with the vehicle at a stop is never allowed.
• When downshifting at normal road speeds, the transmission will only
allow a downshift into the next lower gear.
