TOW/HAUL MODE
When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent
transmission shifting occurs, push the TOW/HAUL switch to select TOW/HAUL
mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in TOW/HAUL mode,
transmission upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will automatically downshift
(for engine braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illu-
minate in the instrument cluster to indi-
cate that TOW/HAUL mode has been acti-
vated. Pushing the switch a second time
restores normal operation. If the TOW/
HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be
pushed each time the engine is started.
