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 may be 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

on page 4-62 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 percent

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.

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.
