TOWING TIPS

Before setting out on a trip, practice
Wire
turning, stopping and backing the
Color
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Brown/
White
Automatic Transmission
Red
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, use the Elec-
tronic Range Select (ERS) shift con-
White
trol to select a lower gear range.
NOTE: Using a lower gear range
Red/
while operating the vehicle under
Blue
heavy loading conditions will im-
White
prove performance and extend
transmission life by reducing ex-
cessive shifting and heat build up.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous
operation, then change the transmis-
sion fluid and filter as specified for
"police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer
towing." Refer to the "Maintenance
Schedule" for the proper maintenance
intervals.
Electronic Range Select (ERS)
• When using the ERS shift control,
select the highest gear range that
allows for adequate performance
and avoids frequent downshifts.
For example, choose "4" if the de-
sired speed can be maintained.
Choose "3" or "2" if needed to
maintain the desired speed.
• To prevent excess heat generation,
avoid continuous driving at high
RPM. Reduce vehicle speed as nec-
essary to avoid extended driving at
high RPM. Return to a higher gear
or vehicle speed when grade and
road conditions allow.
Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
• Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
• When using the speed control, if
you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
