TOW MODE should be used when pulling
a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load.
Driving the vehicle in TOW MODE with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will
not cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced, and the trans-
mission/engine driving characteristics
may feel unusual.
Push the TOW MODE switch to activate
TOW MODE. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when TOW
MODE is selected. Push the TOW MODE
switch again to turn TOW MODE OFF.
TOW MODE is automatically canceled
when the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position.

The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator will illumi-
nate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-133).)
