This driver video will get you started on the road in your Peterbilt or Kenworth truck to operate your vehicle in drive mode.

First start the vehicle, apply the service bra release the parking brake, rotate the shift stop to select drive, the transmission automatically selects the start gear, but you can change the start gear by using the shifter.

If you put it in drive without first applying the service brake, a warning tone will sound and the transmission will not engage, apply the throttle.

When you're driving, you can manually upshift or downshift by using the shifter. However, if conditions aren't right, your shifts may be denied by the transmission and you'll hear a tone in general. It's recommended that the vehicle be operated in drive mode for optimal performance.

When you're ready to stop, apply the service break, come to a complete stop, select neutral on the shifter and pull the parking break. If you don't happen to select neutral before pulling the brake, then auto neutral will be engaged. You'll see a display when you're ready to move again. You must select neutral and then select drive or reverse with the service brake applied.

Please see our other, Get2Know videos for instructions on additional modes and on operating vehicles from other manufacturers.
