If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than 45
minutes of continuous operation, then change the trans-
mission fluid and filter(s) as specified for “police, taxi,
fleet, or frequent trailer towing.” Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.

NOTE:

Check the transmission fluid level before towing

(5.7L engine).

Electronic Speed Control – If Equipped

• 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.

maximize fuel efficiency.

heating, take the following actions:
