Safety Chains

Always attach chains between the vehicle and the

trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the

trailer to help prevent the tongue from contacting the road

if it becomes separated from the hitch. Always leave just

enough slack so the rig can turn. Never allow safety

chains to drag on the ground.

Tow/Haul Mode

Pressing this button at

the end of the shift lever

turns on and off the

tow/haul mode.

This indicator light on the

instrument panel cluster

comes on when the

tow/haul mode is on.

Tow/Haul is a feature that assists when pulling a heavy

trailer or a large or heavy load. See Tow/Haul Mode

on page 2-27 for more information.

Tow/Haul is designed to be most effective when the

vehicle and trailer combined weight is at least 75 percent

of the vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).

See “Weight of the Trailer” later in the section. Tow/Haul

is most useful under the following driving conditions:

• When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load

through rolling terrain.

• When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load

in stop and go traffic.

• When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load

in busy parking lots where improved low speed

control of the vehicle is desired.

Operating the vehicle in Tow/Haul when lightly loaded

or with no trailer at all will not cause damage. However,

there is no beneﬁt to the selection of Tow/Haul when

the vehicle is unloaded. Such a selection when unloaded

may result in unpleasant engine and transmission

driving characteristics and reduced fuel economy.

Tow/Haul is recommended only when pulling a heavy

trailer or a large or heavy load.
