Transmission shift systems
Operating the GO 250-8 PowerShift transmission shift system
M54.00-1897-72
Press the selector lever down (3) un-
til resistance can be felt and repeat
in quick succession.
The PowerShift transmission shift
system shifts down 2 gears.
Note:
If the target gear is too low, the
PowerShift transmission shift system
shifts down only to a permissible gear
that would not cause the engine to
overrev
Engine braking effect during a gear-
shift
Note:
The braking effect of the engine is tem-
porarily interrupted for the duration of a
gearshift (drive train disconnected by the
transmission system). Once the shift has
been completed, the engine braking effect
is automatically restored.
Note:
In automatic drive mode, operation of the
continuous brake causes the system to
shift down so that maximum engine brak-
ing effect is achieved. The extent of the
downshift depends on the lever position,
actual gear, gradient and retarder temper-
ature.
Danger.
The engine braking effect is interrupted
for the duration of the gearshift. The bus
may accelerate if you are driving downhill
at this time.
+++ St++
Danger.
With creep mode activated, the bus will
continue to creep forwards with the en-
gine running at idling speed. Whenever
creep mode reaches its torque limit, the
clutch will open. If this malfunction alert
is displayed on the display screen, vis-
it an OMNIplus Service Partner at the
earliest opportunity. With creep mode
deactivated, the PowerShift transmission
shift system automatically disengages the
clutch whenever the engine speed drops
below 600 rpm in 1st gear. Tractive
power would be lost and the bus could
roll away if the engine is still running
and a gear is still selected (e.g. on uphill
gradients). You could thereby cause an
accident. Whenever you stop the bus, al-
ways secure the bus against rolling away
