How do I put my RAM 1500 in neutral?

I’m taking my RAM 1500 to the car wash for the first time but I’ve never put it into neutral before. Is there anything special I have to do?

Taking your
RAM 1500
to the car wash is the perfect way to restore it to its former glory! For those who don’t know, automatic car washes require your vehicle to be shifted into neutral to work properly. To put a RAM 1500 in neutral, you’ll need to start the engine and turn the rotary dial to N.
It’s really that simple! And don’t worry—if you open your RAM 1500’s door at any time while it’s in neutral, the truck will automatically shift into ‘Park’ and engage the parking brake to keep you and your truck safe.
You can further protect your RAM 1500 by investing in a comprehensive car insurance policy with the help of
