OWING

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning,
stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area
located away from heavy traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE (D) 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, use the AutoStick shift control to
select a lower gear.
NOTE:
Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle
under heavy loading conditions will improve
performance and extend transmission life by
reducing excessive shifting and heat build up.
This action will also provide better engine
braking.
