Towing Tips

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 gear can be selected when towing. However,

if frequent shifting occurs while in DRIVE, use the

Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control to select a

lower gear range.

NOTE: Using a lower gear range 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.
