Tow/Haul Mode (V6 Engine, Automatic

Transmission Equipped Models) (If Equipped)

The Tow/Haul Mode is a feature that assists when

pulling a heavy trailer. The purpose of the Tow/Haul

Mode is:

Reduce the frequency of shifts when pulling a

heavy trailer.

Provide the same shift feel when pulling a heavy

trailer as when the vehicle is unloaded.

Reduce the need to change throttle position when

pulling a heavy trailer.

This feature is turned on or off by pressing a button on

the floor console. When the feature is on, a light on the

instrument panel will illuminate to indicate that the

Tow/Haul Mode has been selected. See “Tow/Haul

Mode Light” in the Index. The Tow/Haul Mode is

automatically turned off each time the vehicle is started.

The Tow/Haul Mode is most effective when the vehicle

and trailer combined weight is at least 75% of the Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the maximum

trailer weight rating for the vehicle. See “Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating” and “Trailer Weight” in the Index.

The Tow/Haul Mode for hauling a heavy trailer is most

useful under the following conditions

When driving through hilly terrain at speeds below

55 mph (88 km/h).

When driving in low speed or stop and go traffic

below 55 mph (88 km/h).

When driving in parking lots.

Use the Tow/Haul Mode instead of the previous

recommendation to shift to THIRD (3) gear to improve

fuel economy at highway speeds and shift performance

at lower speeds. Operating in the Tow/Haul Mode when

not pulling a heavy trailer will not cause damage to the

vehicle, but you may experience reduced fuel economy

and undesirable performance from the engine and

transmission. The Tow/Haul Mode should be used only

when pulling a heavy trailer.
