Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping,

and backing up the trailer in an area located away from

heavy traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. How-

ever, if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, use

the AutoStick௡ mode to select a lower gear range.
NOTE:

Using a lower gear range while operating the

vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve

performance and extend transmission life by reducing

excessive shifting and heat build up. This action will also

provide better engine braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than 45 min-

utes of continuous operation, then change the automatic

transmission fluid and filter according to the interval
