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 operation.
If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, 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)
