The tow/haul feature:
Moves upshifts to higher engine speeds
to reduce the frequency of
transmission shifting.
Provides engine braking in all forward
gears, which slows your vehicle and
assists you in controlling your vehicle
when descending a slope.
Depending on driving conditions and
load conditions, may downshift the
transmission, and slow your vehicle to
help control your vehicle speed when
descending a hill. The amount of
downshift braking provided varies
based upon the amount you press the
brake pedal.
The tow haul feature improves
transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load.
To deactivate the tow haul feature for
column shifter and return to normal driving
mode, press the button on the gearshift
lever twice. The indicator light deactivates
when the system turns off. Tow haul mode
also deactivates when you power down
your vehicle.
To deactivate the tow haul feature for
vehicles with console shifter, cycle through
the available drive modes with the drive
modes button or rotary dial to select an
alternate mode. See Drive Control (page
261). The indicator light deactivates when
the system turns off.
SelectShift
Automatic
Transmission
Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatic
transmission. The SelectShift Automatic
transmission gives you the ability to
change gears up or down without a clutch
as desired.

Transmission
To prevent the engine from running at too
low of an RPM, which may cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts
if it determines that you have not
downshifted in time. Although SelectShift
makes some downshifts for you, it still
allows you to downshift at any time as long
as the SelectShift determines that damage
to the engine does not occur from
over-revving.
Note: Engine damage could occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
E252861
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
feature has two modes: Progressive Range
Selection (PRS) and M mode.
Progressive Range Selection - PRS
Progressive Range Selection gives you the
ability to lockout gears from the automatic
shifting range. This may provide you with
an improved driving experience, for
example, in slippery conditions or when
experiencing a steep slope.
