While activated, the
indicator light on the
instrument panel will be on.

Tow/haul mode will turn off automatically when the
ignition is turned off. See Tow/Haul Mode Light
on page 3-40.

Tow/haul is 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.

Driving with tow/haul activated without a heavy load will
cause reduced fuel economy and unpleasant engine
and transmission driving characteristics, but will
not cause damage.

Parking Brake

To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal,
then push down the parking brake pedal.
