FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Automatic Transmission
* The ignition switch must be set at “ON” and the brake pedal depressed to shift
from Park.
Shift the shift lever to “S” position from “D” position.
Floor shift type:
+: Upshift (push and release)
-: Downshift (pull and release)
Column shift type:
+: Upshift (push and release)
-: Downshift (push and release)
Downshifting increases power going uphill, or provides engine braking downhill.
For best fuel economy during normal driving conditions, always drive with the shift
lever in the “D” position.

“Tow/Haul” mode is ideal for use when carrying heavy loads. When the TOW/
HAUL switch is pressed, throttle response and transmission control are optimized
for the high performance operation. As fuel economy is reduced while in “Tow/
Haul” mode, deactivating when driving without a load is recommended.
Upshifts occur at higher engine speeds to expand the use of lower gear
ranges, enhancing power performance during towing and preventing
repeated gear changes.
Downshifts occur at a greater accelerator pedal angle to allow the
vehicle to stay in a higher gear, reducing repeated gear changes.
Downshifts occur at a lower accelerator pedal angle to allow the
vehicle to stay in a lower gear, enhancing towing ability.
When the accelerator pedal is wide open, upshift timing is optimized to
effectively use the maximum engine power range available.
When Tow/Haul is engaged, the opening angle of the electronically
controlled throttle is wider for any given accelerator pedal position than
normal, enhancing acceleration feeling and response.
During uphill driving, the gear position is held to prevent repeated upshifting.
During downhill driving, downshifting to lower gears will occur to effectively use
engine braking.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.

the 7-pin connector. By selecting the type of brakes that are being
used on the trailer (electric or electric-over-hydraulic) and setting the
gain for the controller, the manual TRAILER BRAKE OUTPUT slider
