mode, tapping the GEAR- or GEAR+ switch will change

the top available gear.

To exit ERS mode, simply press and hold the GEAR+

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.

When to Use TOW/HAUL Mode
When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a

heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc-

curs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to activate TOW/

HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce

the potential for transmission overheating or failure due

to excessive shifting.
