TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING!(Continued)
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that
are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill
slopes; and when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its
own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death.
ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows
you to limit the highest available
transmission gear, and can be
activated during any driving condition.
When towing a trailer, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both
performance and engine braking.
• To switch from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, tap the shift lever to the left (-) once.
The instrument cluster will display the current gear (the transmission may
downshift), and the transmission will not upshift beyond that gear. Tapping the
shift lever to the left (-) or right (+) will decrease or increase the top available gear.
To disable ERS, simply hold the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is again
displayed in the instrument cluster.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

m)7,200 lbs (3 266 kg) 720 lbs (327 kg)
Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds.
NOTE: The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the
weight referenced on the Tire and Loading Information placard. The addition of passengers and cargo may require reducing trailer tongue load
and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). Redistributing cargo (to the trailer) may be necessary to avoid exceeding Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) of 3,900 lbs (1 769 kg).
• If the gross trailer weight is 3,500 lbs (1587 kg) or more, it is mandatory to use a weight-distributing hitch to ensure stable
handling of your vehicle.
NOTE:Vehicles not factory equipped with trailer tow package are limited to 3,500 lbs (350 lbs tongue weight).

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.
RECREATIONAL
TOWING (BEHIND
MOTORHOME, ETC.)
Rear-Wheel Drive Models
•Recreational towing is not allowed.
All-Wheel Drive Models (Single-Speed
Transfer Case)
•Recreational towing is not allowed.
This model does not have a
NEUTRAL position in the transfer
case.
All-Wheel Drive Models (Two-Speed
Transfer Case)
NOTE:The transfer case must be in the
NEUTRAL position, and the transmission
must be in the PARK position for
recreational towing.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL
• Use the following procedure to
prepare your vehicle for recreational
towing.
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop
and shift the transmission to PARK.
Turn the engine off.
• For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
remove the Keyless Enter-N-Go
button and use the Key Fob to
complete this procedure.
• Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position, but do not start
the engine.
• Press and hold the brake pedal and
shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• Press and hold the transfer case N
(Neutral) button for four seconds,
until the light next to the N symbol
starts to blink, indicating shift in
progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the shift to N
(Neutral) is complete.
