You can tow in DRIVE (D). You may want to shift

the transmission to THIRD (3) or, if necessary, a

lower gear selection if the transmission shifts too

often (e.g., under heavy loads and/or hilly

conditions). If you have a manual transmission and

you are towing a trailer, it’s better not to use the

highest gear. See “Tow/Haul Mode” in the Index.

Three important considerations have to do with weight:

the weight of the trailer,

the weight of the trailer tongue

and the weight on your vehicle’s tires.

Tow/Haul Mode

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

trailer or a large or heavy load. The purpose of the

tow/haul mode is to:

Reduce the frequency and improve the predictability

of transmission shifts when pulling a heavy trailer or

a large or heavy load.

Provide the same solid shift feel when pulling a

heavy trailer or a large or heavy load as when the

vehicle is unloaded.

Improve control of vehicle speed while requiring less

throttle pedal activity when pulling a heavy trailer or

a large or heavy load.

Your vehicle is equipped with a button at the end of the shift

lever which, when pressed, enables tow/haul. Your vehicle

may be equipped with Autoride

which further improves

your vehicle’s ride while towing. See “Autoride

” in the

Index for more information. When the button is pressed,

a light on the instrument panel will illuminate to indicate that

tow/haul has been selected. Tow/haul may be turned off

by pressing the button again, at which time the indicator light

on the instrument panel will turn off. The vehicle will

automatically turn off tow/haul every time it is started.

Tow/haul is designed to be most effective when

the vehicle and trailer combined weight is at least

75% of the vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating

(GCWR). See “Weight of the Trailer” later in this

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.
