Tow/Haul Mode; Manual Transmission - Chevrolet Colorado 2018 Owner's Manual

Range Selection Mode. This will
limit torque to the wheels and help
to prevent the tires from spinning.

Tow/Haul Mode

If equipped, Tow/Haul Mode adjusts
the transmission shift pattern to
reduce shift cycling. This provides
increased performance, vehicle
control, and transmission cooling
when driving down steep hills or
mountain grades, towing, or hauling
heavy loads.
Turn the Tow/Haul Mode on and off
by pressing the button on the center
stack. When the Tow/Haul Mode is
enabled, a light on the instrument
cluster will come on.
See Tow/Haul Mode Light 0 124 and
Hill and Mountain Roads 0 207.
Also see Tow/Haul Mode under
Towing Equipment 0 264.
If the vehicle has a diesel engine,
the Tow/Haul button activates the
exhaust brake system
simultaneously. See Exhaust
Brake in the Duramax diesel
supplement.
