Tow/Haul Mode; Recreational Towing (Behind Motorhome, Etc.) - Dodge 2013 Durango User Manual

TOW/HAUL MODE

• When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent
transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to select TOW/HAUL mode.
This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission overheating or
failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in TOW/HAUL mode, transmission
upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will automatically downshift (for engine
braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
• The "TOW/HAUL Indicator Light" will illumi-
nate in the instrument cluster to indicate
that TOW/HAUL mode has been activated.
Pressing the switch a second time restores
normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode
is desired, the switch must be pressed each
time the engine is started.
