Trailer” to “Reserve for Future

Before setting out on a trip, practice
turning, stopping and backing the
trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Automatic Transmission
The DRIVE gear can be selected when
towing. However, if frequent shifting
occurs while in DRIVE, use the Elec-
tronic Range Select (ERS) shift con-
trol to select a lower gear range.
NOTE: Using a lower gear range
while operating the vehicle under
heavy loading conditions will im-
prove performance and extend
transmission life by reducing ex-
cessive shifting and heat build up.
This action will also provide better
engine braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous
operation, then change the transmis-
sion fluid and filter as specified for
"police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer
towing." Refer to the “Maintenance
Schedule” for the proper maintenance
intervals. Electronic Speed Control (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Do not use in hilly terrain or with
heavy loads.
When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater
than 16 km/h, disengage until you
can get back to cruising speed.
Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel
efficiency.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and
transmission overheating, take the
following actions:
City Driving
When stopped for short periods, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and
increase engine idle speed.
Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily.
