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 DRIVE, select the

Љ3Љ range (with four-speed transmission) or select a lower
gear using the AutoStick® shift control (with six-speed
transmission).

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.
