STARTING AND OPERATING
AUXILIARY SWITCHES — IF EQUIPPED
There can be up to six auxiliary switches located in the
lower switch bank of the instrument panel which can be
used to power various electronic devices and Power Take
Off (PTO). If equipped, it will take the place of the sixth
auxiliary switch. Connections to the switches are found
under the hood in the connectors attached to the auxiliary
Power Distribution Center.
You have the ability to configure the functionality of the
auxiliary switches via the instrument cluster display. All
switches can now be configured for setting the switch type
operation to latching or momentary, power source of
either battery or ignition, and ability to hold last state
across key cycles.
NOTE:
Holding last state conditions are met when switch type is
set to latching and power source is set to ignition.
For further information on using the auxiliary switches,
please refer to the Ram Body Builder's Guide by accessing
https://www.ramtrucks.com/ram-commercial/
body-builders-guide.html and choosing the appropriate
links.
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise Cancellation
system that cannot be turned off. This system is designed
to address exhaust and engine noise. The system relies on
four microphones embedded in the headliner, which
monitor exhaust and engine noise, and assists an
onboard frequency generator, which creates
counteracting sound waves in the audio system's
speakers. This helps keep the vehicle quiet at idle and
during drive. The system is deactivated when the windows
are rolled down.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION —
IF EQUIPPED
Four-wheel drive trucks are equipped with either a
manually shifted transfer case or an electronically shifted
transfer case.

This is an electronically shifted transfer case and is

Switch), which is located on the instrument panel.
Four-Position Transfer Case
This electronically shifted transfer case provides four
positions:
Two-Wheel Drive High Range (2WD)
Four-Wheel Drive High Range (4WD HIGH)
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD LOW)
N (Neutral)
For additional information on the appropriate use of each
transfer case position, see the following information:

street and highway driving on dry, hard surfaced roads.
) —
4WD HIGH
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range provides
torque to the front driveshaft (engages four-wheel drive)
which allows front and rear wheels to spin at the same
speed. This provides additional traction for loose, slippery
road surfaces only.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides low
speed four-wheel drive. It maximizes torque (increased
torque over 4WD HIGH) to the front wheels, allowing front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. 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.
