Towing Tips

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping

and backing up the trailer in an area away from heavy

traffic.

Automatic Transmission

The “D” range can be selected when towing. However, if

frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the “TOW/

HAUL” button (if equipped) or a lower gear range

should be selected.

NOTE: Using the “TOW/HAUL” button (3.7L engine)

or “4” range (4.0L engine) while operating the vehicle

under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor-

mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces-

sive shifting and heat build up. This action will also

provide better engine braking.

The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be

changed if you regularly tow a trailer for more than

45 minutes of continuous operation. Refer to “Mainte-

nance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.

TOW/HAUL – If Equipped

To reduce potential for automatic transmission overheat-

ing, press the “TOW/HAUL” button when driving in

hilly areas or shift the transmission to DRIVE position 2

on more severe grades. Refer to “Automatic Transmis-

sion” in “Starting and Operating” for further

information.

Electronic Speed Control – If Equipped

−

Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.

−

When using the speed control, if you experience speed

drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until

you can get back to cruising speed.

−

Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to

maximize fuel efficiency.
