*The fuse for this circuit is installed
in the underhood electrical center,
but the wires are not connected.
They should be connected by your
dealer or a qualified service center.
If the back-up lamp circuit is not
functional, contact your dealer.
If a remote (non-vehicle) battery is
being charged, press the Tow/Haul
mode switch located on the center
console near the climate controls.
This will boost the vehicle system

battery. If the trailer is too light
for Tow/Haul mode, turn on the
headlamps (NonHID only) as a
second way to boost the vehicle
system and charge the battery.
