activated by pressing the

transmission control switch (TCS)

on the end of the gearshift lever.

• This position allows for all forward gears except overdrive.

• The OFF lamp on the gearshift

lever is illuminated.

other gears. Examples: city traffic, hilly terrain, heavy loads, trailer

towing and when engine braking is required.

The OFF lamp on the gearshift lever will not be illuminated.

off.

engine braking on downgrades.
