Ram Trucks 2013 Chassis Cab - Diesel Supplement - Manual (Page 79)

The “knock-over” prevents the driver from accidentally
entering the REVERSE (R) shift area and warns the driver
that they are about to shift the transmission into RE-
VERSE (R). Due to this feature, a slow shift to REVERSE
(R) can be perceived as a high shift effort.
To shift out of REVERSE bring the vehicle to a complete
stop and press the clutch. Shifting out of REVERSE prior
to a complete stop may cause high shift effort.
POWER TAKE OFF OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED

matic six-speed or G-56 manual six-speed transmissions,

“mobile” mode. The vehicles will be factory set to the
“stationary” mode. To select ’mobile mode’ You will need
