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 S  ELECTSHIFT AUTOMATIC® TRANSMISSION* 7 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 street and highway driving, providing optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds. 4H (4WD HIGH) provides extra traction, such as driving in snow or on icy roads, or for off-road situations. This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement. 4L (4WD LOW) uses extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. It is intended only for off-road applications, such as driving in deep sand or on steep grades, or while pulling heavy objects. 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. 8 TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER (TBC)* The fully integrated trailer brake controller synchronizes vehicle and trailer brakes for seamless braking (even with the heaviest loads) to provide added driving control and confidence.

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 tow/haul 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 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 surface conditions. To enable, press the hill descent button. A light in the cluster will display and a tone 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 sound a tone when the system is about to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the brakes as needed to maintain descent speed. *if equipped 5
