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 transmission/engine driv-
ing characteristics may feel unusual.
Push the TOW mode switch to activate
TOW mode. The indicator light in the vehicle
information display 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.
SIC4455
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 engine 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.5-125).)
