transmission may downshift, slow the

vehicle and control the vehicle speed when

descending a hill, without the accelerator

pedal being pressed. The amount of

downshift braking provided will vary based

upon the amount the brake pedal is

pressed.

To deactivate the tow/haul feature and

return to normal driving mode, press the

button on the end of the gearshift lever.

brake features when driving in icy or

slippery conditions as the increased

engine braking can cause the rear wheels

to slide and your vehicle to swing around

with the possible loss of vehicle control.
