this, to enhance the ride when
trailering or with a loaded vehicle.
See Continuous Damping Control
(CDC) on page 9‑39.
Tow/Haul Mode Grade Braking
(6-Speed Automatic

the Tow/Haul Mode is selected and
the vehicle is not in the Range

using the engine and transmission
to slow the vehicle.
To disable or enable Tow/Haul
Grade Braking within the current
ignition key cycle, press and hold
the Tow/Haul button for
three seconds. A DIC message will
be displayed. See Transmission

see Automatic Transmission on
page 9‑29 and Cruise Control on
page 9‑40.
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
If the vehicle has this feature,
engine power is sent to all four
wheels when extra traction is
needed. This is like four-wheel
drive, but there is no separate lever
or switch to engage or disengage
the front axle. It is fully automatic,
and adjusts itself as needed for road
conditions.
If the vehicle is a hybrid, see
“Four-Wheel Drive” in the hybrid
supplement.
