Tow/Haul Mode - Chevrolet 2013 Express Owner's Manual

Tow/Haul Mode

Vehicles with an automatic
transmission have a Tow/Haul
Mode. The Tow/Haul Mode adjusts
the transmission shift pattern to
reduce shift cycling, providing
increased performance, vehicle
control, and transmission cooling
when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Turn the Tow/Haul Mode on and off
by pressing the button on the
instrument panel. When Tow/Haul is
on, a light on the instrument cluster
will come on.
See Tow/Haul Mode Light on
page 5 21 for more information.
Also see Tow/Haul Mode under
Towing Equipment on page 9 54.

Tow/Haul Mode Grade Braking is
only enabled while the Tow/Haul
Mode is selected and the vehicle is
not in the Range Selection Mode.
See Tow/Haul Mode listed

Braking assists in maintaining
desired vehicle speeds when driving
on downhill grades by using the

vehicle.
