To turn this feature on, press the
tow/haul button located at the
end of the shift lever. The tow/haul
warning light will turn on.
To turn this feature off, press the
button again or turn off the
engine. The system is automatical-
ly turned off each time the vehicle
is started.
The tow/haul mode is most
effective when the combined
weight of the vehicle and the
trailer is at least 75% of the Gross
Combination Weight Rating.
The tow/haul mode is most useful
under the following conditions:
• when driving through hilly
terrain
• when driving in low speed or
stop and go traffic
• when driving in parking lots
If you operate the vehicle in the
tow/haul mode when you are not
pulling a trailer or when lightly
loaded, you may experience
reduced fuel economy and
poor engine and transmission
performance.
Section 3
Only use the tow/haul mode when
pulling a trailer or hauling a large
or heavy load.
This system interacts with the
Magnetic Ride Control system to
provide optimum ride and
handling when towing a trailer or
when hauling a heavy load.
See "Magnetic Ride Control"
earlier in this section for more
information.
