Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/haul is designed to assist while your vehicle is

pulling a large or heavy load or trailer. Tow/haul is most

useful while pulling such a load in rolling terrain, in

stop-and-go traffic, or when you need improved

low-speed control, such as when parking. The purpose

of the tow/haul mode is to do the following:

• 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.

Tow/haul is designed to be most effective when the

vehicle and trailer combined weight is at least 75% of the

vehicle’s Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR).

See “Weight of the Trailer” later in this section.

Press the button on the

instrument panel to the

right of the steering

wheel to enable the

tow/haul mode.

A light on the instrument

panel will illuminate to

indicate that tow/haul

mode has been selected.

Press the button again to turn off tow/haul. The indicator

light on the instrument panel will turn off. The vehicle will

automatically turn off tow/haul every time it is started.

Driving with tow/haul activated without a heavy load or

with no trailer will cause reduced fuel economy and

unpleasant engine and transmission driving

characteristics, but will not cause damage.
