Turn Signals When Towing a
Trailer

When properly connected, the trailer
turn signals should will illuminate to
indicate the vehicle is turning,
changing lanes, or stopping. When
towing a trailer, the arrows on the
instrument cluster will illuminate
even if the trailer is not properly
connected or the bulbs are
burned out.

Tow/Haul assists when pulling a
heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.

Tow/Haul Mode is designed to be
most effective when the vehicle and
trailer combined weight is at least
75% of the vehicle's Gross Combined
Weight Rating (GCWR). See

Tow/Haul Mode is most useful when
towing a heavy trailer or carrying a
large or heavy load:

.

through rolling terrain

.

in stop-and-go traffic

.

in busy parking lots

Operating the vehicle in Tow/Haul
Mode when lightly loaded or not
towing will not cause damage;
however, it is not recommended and
may result in unpleasant engine and
transmission driving characteristics
and reduced fuel economy.

Integrated Trailer Brake Control
System

The vehicle may have an Integrated
Trailer Brake Control (ITBC) system
for use with electric trailer brakes or
most electric over hydraulic trailer
brake systems. These instructions
apply to both types of electric trailer
brakes.

This symbol is on the Trailer Brake
Control Panel on vehicles with an
ITBC system. The power output to the
trailer brakes is proportional to the
amount of vehicle braking. This
available power output to the trailer
brakes can be adjusted to a wide
range of trailering situations.

The ITBC system is integrated with
the vehicle

s brake, anti-lock brake,

and StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) systems. In trailering
conditions that cause the vehicle

s

anti-lock brake or StabiliTrak/ESC
systems to activate, power sent to the
trailer's brakes will be automatically
adjusted to minimize trailer wheel
lock-up. This does not imply that the
trailer has StabiliTrak/ESC.

If the vehicle

s brake, anti-lock brake,

or StabiliTrak systems are not
functioning properly, the ITBC system
may not function fully or at all. Make
sure all of these systems are fully
operational to allow the ITBC system
to function properly.

The ITBC system is powered through
the vehicle's electrical system. Turning
the ignition off will also turn off the
