Towing Tips

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping

and backing the trailer up in an area away from heavy

Automatic Transmission

The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. The

transmission controls include a drive strategy 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 vehicle

under heavy loading conditions, will improve perfor-

mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces-

sive shifting and heat buildup. This action will also

provide better engine braking.
