When you put the tranny in mode it will indicate so on the display. We do not have a separate light indicating the tranny is in mode.
Excellent explanation from Wolfe10. As mentioned all the mode switch does is delay downshifts and accelerate upshifts. Lower RPM gives best mileage. Mode makes no difference if you are on flat ground in high gear.
So the Economy does not light up?

I have an Allison World transmission. The shift panel has an economy display in the upper right position.
This is in a 1997 American Dream.
I have no idea how to active or deactive that mode.
Any ideas?
yes push the mode button just below the Economy word you circled .. the light should come on. You must do this ea time you start .. it resets to "normal " mode ea time Or pushing mode again turns it off.

I believe that is the way is in our safari
If I use the mode button..it up shifts sooner and down shifts later
That would be performance mode ?

I am not so sure the Mode Button can be "programmed to do different things"-- at least in the RV application. But if someone finds out there is, would be very interested in what other things it can be programmed to do.

Sorry I wasn't clear. What he was referring to was reprogramming so shift points were more custom to what each person wanted. I'm sure there are limits but as a "pull out of my ...butt... kind of example, they could program it to perform better in a 1/4 mile drag race if you wanted it. My wife complains all the time about my unrealistic examples, sorry!
