Tow/Haul delays upshifts to reduce frequency of transmission shifting.

Tow/Haul also provides engine braking in all forward gears when the

transmission is in the D (Overdrive) position; this engine braking will

slow the vehicle and assist the driver in controlling the vehicle when

descending a grade. Depending on driving conditions and load

conditions, the transmission may downshift, slow the vehicle and control

the vehicle speed when descending a hill, without the accelerator pedal

being pressed. The amount of downshift braking provided will vary based

upon the amount the brake pedal is depressed.

To deactivate the Tow/Haul feature and return to normal driving mode,

press the button on the end of the gearshift lever. The TOW HAUL light

will no longer be illuminated.

When you shut-off and restart the engine, the transmission will

automatically return to normal D (Overdrive) mode (Tow/Haul OFF).

WARNING: Do not use the Tow/Haul feature when driving in icy

or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause

the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the

possible loss of vehicle control.

3 (Third)

Transmission starts and operates in third gear only.

Used for improved traction on slippery roads. Selecting 3 (Third)

provides engine braking.

2 (Second)

Use 2 (Second) to start-up on slippery roads or to provide additional

engine braking on downgrades.

1 (First)

• Provides maximum engine braking.

• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever.

• The transmission will not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; it

will downshift to a lower gear and then shift into 1 (First) when the

vehicle reaches slower speeds.

Forced downshifts

• Allowed in

(Overdrive) or Drive.

• Depress the accelerator to the floor.

• Allows transmission to select an appropriate gear.
