Tow/Haul Switch

The Tow/Haul switch is a momentary contact switch located on the end of the column shift selector lever or on the floor shift selector lever knob. To activate the Tow/Haul feature, press the button on the end of the column shift selector lever or floor shift selector lever knob. The Tow/Haul feature delays upshifts to reduce the frequency of transmission shifting. Tow/Haul also provides engine braking in all forward gears when the selector lever is in the (D) position. Depending on driving and load conditions, the transmission may downshift, slow the vehicle and control the vehicle speed when descending a hill. To deactivate the Tow/Haul feature and return to normal driving mode, press the Tow/Haul switch on the end of the selector lever or floor selector lever knob. The words TOW HAUL will no longer be illuminated on the IPC  . When the engine is turned off and restarted, the transmission automatically returns to normal (D) mode (Tow/Haul OFF). Do not use the Tow/Haul feature when driving in icy conditions.
