Cooling System Tips—Trailer Towing
To reduce potential for engine and transmission over-
heating in high ambient conditions, take the following
actions:

City Traffic
When stopped, put transmission in N (Neutral) and
increase engine idle speed.

Highway Driving
Reduce speed.

Air Conditioning
Turn off temporarily.

To reduce the potential for transmission overheating,
turn the “TOW/HAUL” feature on when driving in hilly
areas or downshift the transmission to the next lower
gear range to eliminate excessive transmission shifting.
This action will also reduce the possibility of transmis-
sion overheating and provide better engine braking.
