Basic Operation
(cont’d)
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow this
procedure:
1.
With the transmission in neutral, release the parking brake, but
continue to press the brake pedal.
2.
With the throttle closed, pull the upshift paddle once to shift into
L (low) gear.
3.
Release pressure from the brake pedal and increase engine speed
by gradually pressing the accelerator pedal.
4.
When speed increases, shift to 2nd gear by pulling the upshift
paddle once. Lifting off the throttle is recommended, but not
required.
5.
Repeat this sequence to progressively upshift to 3rd, 4th and 5th
(top) Gear.
6.
To downshift, pull the downshift paddle once. Remember to lift
off the throttle each time you shift to the next lower gear.
The transmission cannot be upshifted from neutral to L gear when
the engine speed is above 3,000rpm or the ground speed is above 2
mph (3 km/h).
If the electric shift system malfunctions, the transmission cannot be
shifted by pulling the gearshift paddles, See your dealer. (In
emergency, a gear may be selected manually so you may move the
vehicle. See Emergency Gear Selection & Operation on page 188.)
