Transmission

The tow/haul feature: • Moves upshifts tohigher engine speeds to reduce the frequency of transmission shifting. • Provides engine braking in all forward gears, which will slow your vehicle and assist you in controlling your vehicle when descending a slope. • Depending on driving conditions and load conditions, may downshift the transmission, slow your vehicle to help control your vehicle speed when descending a hill. The amount of downshift braking provided varies based upon the amount the brake pedal is pressed. The tow haul feature improves transmission operation when towing a trailer or a heavy load. To deactivate the tow haul feature for column shifter and return to normal driving mode, press the button on the gearshift lever twice. The indicator light deactivates when the systemturns off. Towhaul mode also deactivates when you power down your vehicle. To deactivate the tow haul feature for vehicles without a column shifter, cycle through the available drivemodeswith the drive modes button or rotary dial until tow haul is selected and deactivate tow haul mode. See DriveControl (page 251). The indicator light deactivates when the system turns off. SelectShift™Automatic Transmission (If Equipped) Your vehicle is equippedwith a SelectShift Automatic transmission. The SelectShift Automatic transmission gives you the ability to change gears up or downwithout a clutch as desired.

In order toprevent the engine fromrunning at too low an RPM, which may cause it to stall, SelectShift still automaticallymakes some downshifts if it has determined that you have not downshifted in time. Although SelectShift makes some downshifts for you, it still allows you to downshift at any time as long as the SelectShift determines that damage will not be caused to the engine from over-revving. Note: Engine damage may occur if you maintain excessive engine revving without shifting.

E252861 The SelectShift Automatic transmission featurehas twomodes: ProgressiveRange Selection (PRS) and Mmode. Progressive Range Selection (PRS) Progressive Range Selection gives you the ability to lockout gears fromthe automatic shifting range. This may provide you with an improved driving experience, for example, in slippery conditions or when experiencing a steep slope.
