TOW/HAUL MODE
When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., and
frequent transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to select
TOW/HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for
transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, transmission upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will
automatically downshift (for engine braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will
illuminate in the instrument cluster to
indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal opera-
tion. If the TOW/HAUL mode is de-
sired, the switch must be pressed
each time the engine is started.
INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE
The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manually
activate the Electric Trailer Brakes and Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes for
a better braking performance when towing a trailer.
NOTE:
The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller is located in the center stack below the
climate controls.
This module will have four different options depending on the type of trailer you
want to tow and can be selected through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or touch-screen radio if equipped.
Light Electric
Heavy Electric
Light EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)
Heavy EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)
To make the proper selection in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
press the UP or DOWN steering wheel buttons until “VEHICLE SETTINGS”
displays. For additional information, refer to Electronics in this guide.
