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 opera-

tion. If the TOW/HAUL mode is de-

sired, the switch must be pressed each

time the engine is started.

INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE

The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manually

activate the Electric Trailer Brakes and Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes for a

better braking performance when towing a trailer.

NOTE:

The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller is located in the center stack below the

climate controls.

This module will have four different options depending on the type of trailer you want

to tow and can be selected through the 3.5” Electronic Vehicle Information Center

(EVIC) or touchscreen radio.

• Light Electric

• Heavy Electric

• Light EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)

• Heavy EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)

Setting with the Uconnect® Touchscreen Radio

• To make the proper selection in the Uconnect

touchscreen radio, press the More

hard-key (Uconnect

5.0) or the Apps soft-key (Uconnect

8.4), then press the

Settings soft-key to display the menu setting screen and press trailer brake. For

additional information, refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD.
