STARTING AND OPERATING

ERS Control

To exit ERS mode, simply push and hold the

GEAR + switch until the gear limit display

disappears from the instrument cluster.

When to Use TOW/HAUL Mode

When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying

a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission

shifting occurs, push the TOW/HAUL switch to

activate TOW/HAUL mode. This will improve

performance and reduce the potential for

transmission overheating or failure due to

excessive shifting.

TOW/HAUL Switch

The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in

the instrument cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL

mode has been activated. Pushing the switch a

second time restores normal operation. Normal

operation is always the default at engine start-up.

If TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be

pushed each time the engine is started.

QUIPPED

Chassis Cab models may use either the

AS66RC or AS69RC transmission (which are

equipped with a Power Take-Off (PTO) access

cover on the side of the transmission case).
The transmission gear position display

(located in the instrument cluster) indicates the

transmission gear range. The gear selector is

mounted on the right side of the steering column.

You must press the brake pedal to move the gear

selector out of PARK

page 141. Pull the gear

selector toward you when shifting into REVERSE

or PARK, or when shifting out of PARK.

2 — GEAR – Switch

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine

braking on a slippery surface. The drive

wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle

could skid, causing a collision or personal

injury.

WARNING!

Do not use the TOW/HAUL feature when driving

in icy or slippery conditions. The increased

engine braking can cause the rear wheels to

slide, and the vehicle to swing around with the

possible loss of vehicle control, which may

cause an accident possibly resulting in

personal injury or death.
