Owner`s manual

NOTE: For optimum braking power it is recommended

to use the exhaust brake while in TOW/HAUL mode.

The exhaust brake feature can also be used to reduce the

engine warm up time. To use the exhaust brake as a

warm-up device, the vehicle must be stopped or moving

less than 5 mph (8 km/h), the ⬙Exhaust Brake Indicator⬙

must be on, and the coolant temperature must be below

180°F (82°C) and ambient temperature below 60°F (16°C).

Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake

Automatic Exhaust Brake technology delivers smoother,

less aggressive exhaust braking characteristics during

downhill descents. Although it can apply full exhaust

braking force if needed, Automatic Exhaust Brake may

not apply obvious braking if the vehicle speed is not

increasing. Automatic Exhaust Brake is intended to main-

tain vehicle speed, while Full Exhaust Brake is intended

to reduce vehicle speed.

Automatic Exhaust Brake can be enabled by pushing the

exhaust brake button again anytime after the normal Full

Exhaust Brake has been turned on. The “Exhaust Brake

Indicator” in the EVIC will change from Yellow to Green

when Automatic Exhaust Brake is enabled. Pushing the

exhaust brake button again will toggle the exhaust brake

mode to off.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-

ing precautions are not observed:

• Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to

a complete stop.

• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle

has come to a complete stop and the engine is at

idle speed.
