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. The

transmission controls include a adaptive drive strategy to

avoid frequent shifting when towing. However, if fre-

quent shifting does occur while in DRIVE, you can use

the AutoStick® shift control to manually select a lower

gear.
NOTE:

Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle

under heavy loading conditions will improve perfor-

mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces-

sive shifting and heat build up. This action will also

provide better engine braking.
