Hey guys, got a quick question, maybe I'm just being dumb or maybe it doesn't work. The +/- buttons on my shifting column (shifter on steering wheel stalk) do not seem to do anything at all in tow Haul mode. Ive attempted to push and hold each button down while driving, in drive stopped. Just wondering how to use them.

Hey Cbennett534,
This is from the 2011 User Guide--I thought it might help?
"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 operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be pressed each time the engine is started."
