start, press the Battery Boost switch while turning the ignition key, and do not release the switch until
the engine starts.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The gear stick is to the right of the steering wheel. To change gears, Pull the lever towards you, and then move

TOW/HAUL
The Tow/Haul function optimizes the shifting performance and reduces the potential
for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting when driving in
mountainous areas.
This provides extra power when going uphill and braking assistance
from the engine when going downhill to reduce the risk of overheating the vehicle’s brakes.
Select this function by pressing the button at the end of the shift lever.
