TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,and frequent transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL button.
This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, the transmission will shift into third gear.
NOTE:The TOW/HAUL mode locks
out Overdrive.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light”will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate when the
switch has been activated.
Pressing the switch a second time
restores normal operation. If the
TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the
switch must be pressed each time
the engine is started.
RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
Recreational Towing — Two-Wheel Drive Models
• Recreational towing is allowed if the rear wheels are OFFthe ground.
This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a
tow dolly, follow this procedure:
• Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
• Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly, firmly set the parking brake and place the transmission in PARK.
• Turn the ignition switch to the unlocked OFF position.
• Install a suitable clamping device, designed for towing, to secure the front wheels in the straight position.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable and secure it away from the battery post.
• Flat towing (with all four wheels on the ground) is allowed ONLY if the
driveshaft is removed. Towing with the rear wheels on the ground while
the driveshaft is connected will result in severe transmission damage.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and
the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized service center i mmediately. If the
light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required
and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or
engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
