2.2 I-Shift Software Package<br />
When using the I-Shift gearbox for HH applications, the local market Sales Engineer is<br />
required to be involved in the sales process and decision about the choice of gearbox<br />
software. A special I-Shift software package, TP-HD (Heavy Duty), is available for heavy<br />
haulage applications. The TP-HD package selects the best starting gear depending on gross<br />
combination weight (GCW) and gear shifting is done at higher engine speed to increase<br />
torque and driving comfort.<br />
TP-HD software package<br />
TP-HD is always recommended as first selection for gross combination weights (GCW)<br />
above 60 tonnnes and must always be used for GCW above 100 tonnes.<br />
The gearbox software mode can be changed to/from the heavy haulage mode by<br />
pressing the E/P button on the shift selector for 3 seconds. The selected mode will be<br />
kept after turning off the engine. When not driving heavy haulage this mode can be deactivated<br />
for return to the economy program by once again pressing the E/P button.<br />
The gear shifting is thereby adjusted to the lower gross combination weights and optimal<br />
fuel economy and driving comfort are obtained.<br />
After engine restart the gearbox always selects 1 st gear as start gear when a trailer is<br />
connected.<br />

1 The I-Shift software package TP-FUEC and TP-DICON can also be used for a vehicle<br />
that occasionally operates at loads above 85 tonnes. In these cases below must always<br />
be considered.<br />
• Must always operate in manual mode.<br />
• 1 st gear must always be used as starting gear.<br />
NOTE!<br />
Existing software package can be up- or downgraded without any hardware changes.<br />
No up or downgrades between existing and previous gearbox versions.<br />
It is possible to return to the economy program when not driving heavy haulage, thereby<br />
maintaining a good fuel economy.<br />
