Towing Tips

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning,
stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area
located away from heavy traffic.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
The DRIVE range can be selected when towing.
The transmission controls include a drive strat-
egy to avoid frequent shifting when towing.
However, if frequent shifting does occur while in
DRIVE, you can use the AutoStick shift control
to manually select a lower gear.
NOTE:
Using a lower gear while operating the ve-
hicle under heavy loading conditions will
improve performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive shifting and
heat build up. This action will also provide
better engine braking.
