Equipped; Active-Level Four Corner Air Suspension System - If Equipped; Description - RAM 1500 2019 User Manual

This range provides additional traction and
maximum pulling power for loose, slippery
road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h) in this range.
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral — This range disengages both the
front and rear driveshafts from the power-
train. To be used for flat towing behind
another vehicle. Refer to "Recreational
Towing" in this section for further informa-
tion.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if

you leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N)
position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The
NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both
the front and rear drive shaft from the
powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to
roll, even if the transmission is in PARK.
The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle.
140
The transmission may not engage PARK

if the vehicle is moving. Always bring the
vehicle to a complete stop before
shifting to PARK, and verify that the
transmission gear position indicator
solidly indicates PARK (P) without
blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is
completely stopped, and the PARK posi-
tion is properly indicated, before exiting
the vehicle.
Although 2WD is preferred, this electroni-
cally-shifted transfer case is designed to be
driven in the two-wheel drive position (2WD)
or four-wheel drive position (4WD AUTO) for
normal street and highway conditions on dry,
hard-surfaced roads. Driving the vehicle in
transfer case
2WD will have greater fuel economy benefits
over any 4WD mode (including 4WD AUTO)
as the front axle is not engaged in 2WD.
For variable driving conditions, the 4WD
AUTO mode can be used. In this mode, the
front axle is engaged, but the vehicle's power
is sent to the rear wheels. Four-wheel drive
(Continued)
will be automatically engaged when the
vehicle senses a loss of traction. Because the
front axle is engaged, this mode will result in
lower fuel economy than the 2WD mode.
WARNING! (Continued)
When additional traction is required, the
transfer case 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW
positions can be used to maximize torque to
the front driveshaft, forcing the front and
rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This
is accomplished pushing the desired position
on the 4WD Control Switch.
Refer to "Shifting Procedure" in the
"Starting And Operating" section of your
Owner's Manual for further details.
