N (Neutral)

With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is

free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.

D (Drive with Overdrive) with Tow/Haul off

D (Overdrive) with tow/haul off is the normal driving position for the

best fuel economy. The overdrive function allows automatic upshifts and

downshifts through gears one through five.

D (Drive with Overdrive) with Tow/Haul on

The tow/haul feature improves transmission operation when towing a

trailer or a heavy load. All transmission gear ranges are available when

using tow/haul.

To activate tow/haul, press the

button on the end of the gearshift

lever.

The TOW HAUL indicator light will illuminate in the instrument

cluster.

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 d riving 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).
