Three important considerations have to do with weight:

•

the weight of the trailer

•

the weight of the trailer tongue

•

and the weight on your vehicle’s tires

Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/Haul is a feature that assists when pulling a heavy
trailer or a large or heavy load. The purpose of the
Tow/Haul mode is to:

•

Reduce the frequency and improve the predictability
of transmission shifts when pulling a heavy trailer or
a large or heavy load.

•

Provide the same solid shift feel when pulling a
heavy trailer or a large or heavy load as when
the vehicle is unloaded.

•

Improve control of vehicle speed while requiring
less throttle pedal activity when pulling a heavy
trailer or a large or heavy load.

•

Increase the charging system voltage to assist in
recharging a battery installed in a trailer.

Press this button at the end of the shift lever to
enable/disable the tow/haul mode.

A light on the instrument
panel will illuminate to
indicate that tow/haul
mode has been selected.
