Gear Ranges - Dodge RAM PROMASTER 2018 Diesel Supplement

32 STARTING AND OPERATING
To drive, press the brake pedal and start the engine, then
move the gear selector from NEUTRAL (N) to the DRIVE
(D) position for automatic mode, the MANUAL (M) posi-
tion for manual mode or the REVERSE (R) position.
Gear Selector
Only shift into DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R) when the
accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. It is
necessary to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.

Gear Ranges

Do not depress the accelerator pedal when shifting from
NEUTRAL into another gear range.
NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait to allow the
selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is espe-
cially important when the engine is cold.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into
REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
To engage REVERSE (R):
• Press and hold the brake pedal.
• Move the gear selector to the REVERSE (R) position.
NOTE: If the vehicle is moving, REVERSE engagement
will only occur if the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph
(3 km/h). Otherwise, a chime will sound, a Shift not
allowed message will be displayed in the instrument
cluster display, the transmission will shift to NEUTRAL,
and the REVERSE request must then be repeated by
returning the lever to NEUTRAL then back into REVERSE
once the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• Release the brake pedal and gently press the accelerator
pedal.
