2013 Ram 1500 brakes

Resume
• To resume a previously selected set speed in memory, push the RESUME/ACCELswitch and release.
Cancel
• Push the CANCEL switch or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and maintain the set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF switch to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want.
You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic Speed
Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you
could lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or
slippery.
EIGHT–SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED
• Your vehicle is equipped with a stateof the art, fuel efficient eight-speed
transmission. The electronic Transmis-
sion Shifter is located on the instru-
ment panel. The transmission gear
(PRND) is displayed both above the
shifter control and in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• To select a gear range, simply rotate the shifter control.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal to shift
the transmission out of PARK or from
NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE.
• To shift past multiple gear ranges at once (such as Park to Drive), simply rotate the switch to the appropriate detent.
• Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.

TOW/HAUL MODE
•When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent
transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to select TOW/HAUL
mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in TOW/HAUL mode,
transmission upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will automatically downshift
(for engine braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to
indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal operation.
If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the
switch must be pressed each time the
engine is started.
INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE
• The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manuallyactivate the Electric Trailer Brakes and Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes for a
better braking performance when towing a trailer.
NOTE:
The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller is located in the center stack below the
climate controls.
• This module will have four different options depending on the type of trailer you want to tow and can be selected through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or touch-screen radio – if equipped.• Light Electric
• Heavy Electric
• Light EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)
• Heavy EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)

GAIN Adjustment Buttons (+/-)
•
Pressing the +/- buttons, located on the
left side of the module, will increase/
decrease the brake control power output
to the trailer brakes in 0.5 increments.
The GAIN setting can be increased to a
maximum of 10 or decreased to a mini-
mum of 0 (no trailer braking).
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Connecting a trailer that is not compatible with the ITBM system may result in
reduced or complete loss of trailer braking. There may be a increase in stopping
distance or trailer instability which could result in personal injury.

CAUTION!
Use of aftermarket exhaust brakes is not recommended and could lead to engine
damage.
WARNING!
Do not use the exhaust brake feature when driving in icy or slippery conditions as
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 a collision
possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
IDLE-UP FEATURE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY)
•The Idle-Up Feature uses the speed control switches to increase engine idle speed
and quickly warm the vehicle’s interior. This feature must be enabled by your dealer.
See your local dealer.
•With the transmission in PARK, the parking brake applied, and the engine running,
push the speed control ON/OFF switch on, then push the SET switch.
• The engine RPM will go up to 1100 RPM. To increase the RPM, push and hold the RESUME/ACCEL switch and the idle speed will increase to approximately
1500 RPM. To decrease the RPM, push and hold the SET/DECEL switch and the
idle speed will decrease to approximately 1100 RPM.
