Tow/Haul Mode
E161509
To activate tow/haul, press the
button on the gearshift lever once.
The TOW HAUL indicator light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster.
The tow/haul feature:
•
Delays upshifts to reduce the frequency
of transmission shifting.
•
Provides engine braking in all forward
gears, which will slow your vehicle and
assist you in controlling your vehicle
when descending a grade.
•
Depending on driving conditions and
load conditions, may downshift the
transmission, slow your vehicle and
control your vehicle speed when
descending a hill, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. The amount of
downshift braking provided will vary
based upon the amount the brake pedal
is pressed.
The tow/haul feature improves transmission
operation when towing a trailer or a heavy
load. All transmission gear ranges are
available when using tow/haul.
To deactivate the tow/haul feature and return
to normal driving mode, press the button on
the gearshift lever twice. The TOW HAUL
light will deactivate. Tow/haul will also
deactivate when you power down your
vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use the tow/haul feature when
driving in icy or slippery conditions as
the increased engine braking can cause the
rear wheels to slide and your vehicle to
swing around with the possible loss of
vehicle control.
Forced Downshifts
•
Allowed in drive (D) with the tow/haul
feature on or off.
•
Press the accelerator to the floor.
•
Allows transmission to select an
appropriate gear.
Automatic Transmission Adaptive Learning
This feature may increase durability and
provide consistent shift feel over the life of
your vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission
may have firm shifts, soft shifts or both. This
operation is considered normal and will not
affect function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive
learning process will fully update
transmission operation.
