Ram Trucks 2015 ProMaster - Diesel Supplement - Manual (Page 49)

NOTE: If the vehicle is moving, REVERSE engagement
will only occur if the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph
(3 km/h). Otherwise, a chime will sound, a ЉShift not
allowedЉ message will be displayed in the EVIC, the
transmission will shift to NEUTRAL, and the REVERSE
request must then be repeated by returning the lever to
NEUTRAL then back into REVERSE one the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Release the brake pedal and gently press the accelera-
tor pedal.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged
periods with the engine running. The engine can only be
started in this range. Apply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into gear, and turn the engine OFF if you
must leave the vehicle.
With the engine running, you may shift to NEUTRAL (N)
at any time if the accelerator pedal is released. Attempt-
ing to shift to NEUTRAL when the accelerator pedal is
depressed will display a ЉShift not allowedЉ message in
the EVIC, and will activate a continuous chime until the
shift lever is returned to its previous position.
DRIVE (D) (Automatic Mode)
This range may be used for both city and highway
driving. The transmission will shift gears automatically,
based on vehicle speed, engine RPM and accelerator
pedal position. There are some instances where this mode
may be necessary (climbing slippery slopes).
NOTE:
Do not press the brake and accelerator pedals at
the same time. Use only one foot to operate the brake and
accelerator.
