Towing Tips — Electronic Speed Control (If
Equipped)

− Don’t use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.

− When using the speed control, if you experience speed

drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until
you can get back to cruising speed.

− Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to

maximize fuel efficiency.

Towing Tips — Cooling System

To reduce potential for engine and transmission over-
heating, take the following actions:

− City Driving

When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission
in neutral but do not increase engine idle speed.

− Highway Driving

Reduce speed.

− Air Conditioning

Turn off temporarily.

− refer to Cooling System Operating information in the

Maintenance section of this manual for more informa-
tion.
