WARNING
If your vehicle has an automated
transmission, be aware that it can roll
backwards when stopped on a hill or
grade, or when starting from a stop on
a hill or grade. Failure to comply may
result in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage. Observe the
following guidelines: (1) When stopped
on a hill or grade, press the brake ped-
al. (2) When starting from a stop on a
hill or grade, quickly remove your foot
from the brake pedal and firmly press
on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
DO NOT leave the cab of your vehicle
without applying the parking brake.
The truck could roll and cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or personal in-
jury. Always apply the parking brake

option with certain automated
transmissions. This feature holds the
vehicle while on a hill to allow the operator
to release the service brakes and press the
accelerator. This feature will hold the
vehicle if the vehicle is attempting to go up
a hill from a stop in either drive or reverse.

included with your vehicle for instructions
on how to change shift configurations.
