Tow Mode (If Equipped)
E161509
To activate tow mode, use the
drive mode switch on the center
console. See Selecting a Drive
Mode (page 277).
The indicator light illuminates and a
message displays in the instrument cluster
when the system becomes active. Select
a different mode to switch the system off.
The Tow Mode Feature:
• Moves upshifts to higher engine speeds
to reduce the frequency of
transmission shifting.
• Provides engine braking in all forward
gears, which slows your vehicle and
assists you in controlling your vehicle
when descending a slope.
• Depending on driving conditions and
load conditions, it may downshift the
transmission, slow your vehicle and
control your vehicle speed when
descending a hill, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. The amount of
downshift braking provided varies
based upon the amount you press the
brake pedal.
The tow mode feature improves
transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load. All transmission
gear ranges are available when using tow
mode.
Transmission Not in Park (P)
Audible Warning
Sounds if you open the driver door before
shifting into park (P).
Manual Park Release (MPR)
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheel
chocks if appropriate.
