If your truck has an Allison Transmission

®

your

vehicle has a Range Selection System.

To use this feature, do the following:

the highest attainable range with all the lower
gears available.

2. Press the plus/minus buttons to select the

desired range of gears for your current
driving conditions.

The Range Selection Mode allows you to
control the engine and vehicle speed while
driving down hill by allowing you to select
a desired gear.

The DIC shows the six available ranges with the
highest attainable range shown in brackets.
See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 265

While using the Range Selection mode, cruise
control and the Tow/Haul mode can be used.
