Note: Adjust the pedals only when the vehicle is in P (Park). 3 INFORMATION DISPLAY* Monitor vehicle systems, receive alerts, and program and configure certain vehicle features. Use your steering wheel controls to scroll, make selections and adjustments that will appear in the message center within the instrument cluster. The LCD productivity screen displays features such as Gauge Mode with diesel-specific engine oil temperature and exhaust filter information along with transmission temperature and compass data. A and B trip odometers also include trip time, fuel used and average fuel economy. Instant fuel economy also provides fuel history in select increments and saves your last five resets. Truck apps* include details about trailers and off-road features. The Settings menu delivers Driver Assist features such as rear park aid, rear camera, and more. Refer to your Owner's Manual for more information. 4 SELECTSHIFT AUTOMATIC® TRANSMISSION Change gears without a clutch. Put the gearshift into M (manual) and press + to upshift and - to downshift. To lock gears, put the gearshift lever into D (Overdrive) and press - to lock out the gears. Only the available gears will be displayed. Press + to unlock the gears. 5 TOW/HAUL Mode Activate the Tow/Haul mode to eliminate excessive transmission shifting when traveling on a grade. When equipped with exhaust braking (diesel only), this feature also helps slow the vehicle and assist the driver while descending a grade. 6 ELECTRONIC SHIFT-ON-THE-FLY 4X4 SYSTEM* Rotate the knob and shift from 2WD to 4x4 High or Low: 2H (2WD) provides power to the rear wheels only. This is appropriate for normal, on-road driving on dry pavement, providing optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds. 4H (4WD HIGH) delivers extra gearing for maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. This is intended for use in situations such as deep sand, steep grades or pulling heavy objects. 4L (4WD LOW) mechanically locks into four-wheel drive when extra power at reduced speeds is required. Use this setting for off-road, low-speed operation such as climbing steep grades, going through deep sand or pulling a boat out of the water. Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced roads. Doing so can produce extra noise and increase tire wear. For more complete details, refer to the Four-Wheel Drive chapter of your Owner's Manual. 7 MEDIA HUB 8 HILL DESCENT CONTROL* While traveling at low speeds (between 2 mph [3 km/h] and 12 mph [20 km/h]), activate to help maintain vehicle speed while descending steep grades in a variety of road conditions. To enable, press the hill descent button. A light in the cluster will illuminate and a chime will sound. To increase descent speed, press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is reached. To decrease speed, press the brake pedal until the desired speed is reached. Note: Hill descent control requires a cooling down interval after sustained use. The amount of time that the feature can remain active before cooling varies with conditions. The system will provide a warning in the information display and a chime will sound when the system is about to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the brakes as needed to maintain descent speed. 9 TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER* The fully integrated trailer brake controller (TBC) synchronizes vehicle and trailer brakes for seamless braking (even with the heaviest loads) to provide added driving control and confidence. Use the GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or decrease the braking feature's power output to the trailer. Refer to the Towing section of your Owner's Manual for more details. 10 LARGE CONTROLS FOR EASY HANDLING Even when you are wearing gloves, the audio, climate and other system controls are easy to adjust. 11 UPFITTER SWITCHES* The four switches can be customized to control additional functions, with 8, 12 or 20 amps of electrical battery power. *IF EQUIPPED 4 Panel 5
