    On the DM2 auto when you set the brakes in gear the Trans will go to neutral but the dash display will show the gear flashing. Release the brakes and tap the go pedal and it's back in gear.

    And the advance when you set the brakes in gear the dash will ## and will go to neutral. To go back into gear you need to release the parking brake then push the brake pedal and change to neutral then back into gear...

    Both will beep like hell if you turn the truck off in gear and won't stop Till you hit neutral.

    I always leave my #### in gear a lot. It’s auto and not like a car. So it’s on a stick on my wheel ‍♂️

    I've parked and set the brake and noticed I left it in drive B4. And I noticed the message on the instrument that indicated drive was disabled. Good thing the computer was paying attention. But now I double check that I am in neutral.
