AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure you shift the gearshift
lever to park (P). Switch the ignition
off and remove the key whenever you leave
your vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds will limit
engine rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.

Tow/Haul (T/H) (If Equipped)
Tow/Haul delays transmission upshift to
reduce the frequency of transmission
shifting.
The system provides engine braking in all
forward gears when the gearshift lever is
in drive (D). Engine braking helps you to
slow and control your vehicle when
descending a grade.
Depending on trailer load and driving
conditions, the transmission may
downshift when descending a grade.
Downshifting will depend on the amount
of vehicle braking applied.
Switching Tow/Haul On and Off
E161509
To activate tow/haul, press the
button on the gearshift lever
once. The TOW HAUL indicator
light will illuminate in the instrument

To deactivate the tow haul feature and
return to normal driving mode, press the
button on the gearshift lever twice. The
tow haul indicator lamp will deactivate.
Tow haul will also deactivate when you
power down your vehicle.
Park (P)
WARNINGS
Do not shift the gearshift lever to
park (P) when your vehicle is moving.
This can cause damage to the
transmission not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in a crash or
serious injury.
