Towing Tips

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping
and backing the trailer up in an area away from heavy
traffic.

Automatic Transmission

The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. The
transmission controls include a strategy to avoid frequent
shifting when towing. However, if frequent shifting does
occur while in DRIVE, you can use the Paddle Shift
switches to manually select a lower gear.

NOTE:

Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle

under heavy loading conditions, will improve perfor-
mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces-
sive shifting and heat buildup. This action will also
provide better engine braking.
