eAxle 2-Speed Transmission

Gear Display

The current eAxle 2-speed transmission gear and
current shift mode are always displayed on the driver
display screen. If there is a pending or recommended
gear shift, this also appears as shown in

Fig. 13.1.

Selected Gear

If the selected gear is different than the
recommended gear for longer than a half second, the
recommended gear display flashes and the selected
gear value is shown. Once the recommended gear
and selected gear match, the recommended gear
display disappears and the current gear display stops
flashing.

Recommended Shift

In Manual mode, a recommended shift is displayed
to indicate the most economical gear available.

Autoneutral

Autoneutral automatically shifts the eAxle 2-speed
transmission into neutral under certain conditions.

If the vehicle is left in drive or reverse with the park
brake applied, after a short period of time a buzzer
sounds, the gear display blinks, and a popup
appears. If the driver does not shift the eAxle
2-speed transmission to neutral, the vehicle shifts the
eAxle 2-speed transmission to neutral. This change
is communicated through a popup and the eAxle
2-speed transmission mode on the driver display
changing to neutral.

If the vehicle is left in drive or reverse with no park
brake applied for an extended period of time, the
vehicle shift sthe eAxle 2-speed transmission to
neutral. This change is communicated through a
popup and the eAxle 2-speed transmission mode on
the driver display changes to neutral.

If the vehicle is left in drive or reverse and the driver
turns the keyswitch to off or requests the vehicle
power down by other means, a buzzer sounds and
the eAxle 2-speed transmission shifts to neutral.

or activated on the Axles

screen The driver-controlled differential lock (DCDL)
feature (side-to-side wheel lock, traction control, or
traction equalizer) is an option available on
eCascadia vehicles with single- or tandem-drive
axles equipped with a Detroit e-axle.

The DCDL provides maximum traction for slippery
conditions by forcing the wheels on each drive axle
governed by the switch to rotate together. When the
DCDL is engaged, the clutch collar completely locks
the differential case, gears, and axle shafts together,
maximizing the traction of both wheels.

The axles menu is on the infotainment display
accessed by switch 5 shown in

Fig. 13.3.

The light on the differential lock dash switch
illuminates solid amber when the lock is engaged.

Pressing the axle menu switch below the
infotainment display calls up the Axles screen
showing the axle locks on the vehicle. Unlocked
axles display as blue bubbles. Locked axles display
as yellow bubbles as shown in

Fig. 13.4.

The driver can select a blue bubble on the screen to
lock that axle. When the lock engages, the blue
bubble displays yellow.
