Driving with the Allison Automatic Transmission

We are renting a 2008 42' Tiffin Allegro Bus with the Allison Automatic Transmission Is there anything special you need to know about using it? I've driven a tractor trailer but that was a 10 speed ...

Thanks so much. I maybe a little dim, but from what I gathered you just hit the mode button and it goes into economy mode? Hit it again and all is as it was?


Correct. Hitting the mode button toggles between power and economy mode. Each time the ignition is started, it starts in power mode.

Most shift pads have a light that illuminates when in economy mode, goes out when in power mode.
