Electronic Range Select (Ers) Operation - Dodge RAM 1500 User Manual

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECT (ERS) OPERATION

• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows
you to limit the highest available trans-
mission gear, and can be activated
during any driving condition. When
towing a trailer or operating the vehicle
in off-road conditions, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both
performance and engine braking.
• Move the console shift lever left (-) or
right (+), or toggle the switch on the
column shift lever down (-) or up (+) to
select the desired top gear.
• For maximum deceleration (engine braking) move the console shift lever left (-)
and hold, or toggle the switch on the column shift lever down (-) and hold. Your
vehicle will automatically select the lowest safe gear for optimal engine braking.
• To disable ERS, push and hold the console shift lever to the right (+) or push and
hold the column shift lever switch up (+) until "D" is displayed in the odometer.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
