The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position
for a shift to take place and for the position indicator
lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and no
position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light
indicates that shift requirements have not been met.
If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, the engine
should be started and left running for a minimum of 60
seconds (with all the doors closed) at least once every 24
hours. This process allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for temperature effects.

normal usage:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it con-
nected to the tow vehicle.
