TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequenttransmission 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 illumi-
nate 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.

Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by takingthe appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned
off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT (H), and
you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when
the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Then, move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and DRIVE. Using minimal
accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels,
is most effective.
• Allow the engine to idle with the transmission shift lever in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce
the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) then press the "ESC Off"
switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in "Partial Off" mode, before
rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h)
while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
