reduce the potential for transmission overheating or

failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in

“TOW HAUL” mode, 6th gear (if equipped) is disabled

and 2-3and 3-4 and 4–5 shift patterns are modified. Shifts

into Overdrive (5th gear) are allowed during steady

cruise (for improved fuel economy). Pressing the “TOW

HAUL O/D OFF” button a second time to select O/D

OFF will disable 5th and 6th gear completely, which

should eliminate any excessive transmission shifting.

The “TOW HAUL”or “O/D OFF”light will illuminatein

the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has

been activated. Pressing the switch a third time restores

normal operation. If the “TOW HAUL” or “O/D OFF”

modes are desired, the button must be pressed each time

the engine is started.

WARNING!

Do not use the Tow/Haul feature when driving in icy

or slippery conditions as the increased engine brak-

ing can cause the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle

to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle

control, which may cause an accident possibly result-

ing in personal injury or death.

When To Lock Out Overdrive

When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a

heavy load, etc., and frequent 6–5–6 or 5–4–5 transmis-

sion shifting occurs, press the “TOW/HAUL” button.

This will improve performance and reduce the potential

for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive

shifting.
