How many people know about driving in the TOW/HAUL MODE to overcome the problem? I wonder how many dealers know about this fix? Not many, I'll bet.

How do you go into Tow/Haul Mode ? Replies to this message: chevrun (Jan 19, 2009 8:10 am) budi (Jan 26, 2009 8:15 pm)

Replying to: gunga (Jan 18, 2009 12:32 pm) On the Enclave you have a button on the lower part of your center dash area.. With a little picture of a trailer. You press it to get into the Tow/Haul mode. When in the Tow/Haul Mode you will get a light on the dash which shows the little trailer. To get out you just press the button again. The car will leave the Tow/Haul mode every time you turn off the car. Replies to this message: budi (Jan 26, 2009 8:15 pm)

Replying to: chevrun (Jan 19, 2009 8:10 am) That is only if the the OP has the factory tow package. From what i read the tow/haul mode locks out 6th gear. I drive mostly around time and very short distances. I have had my enclave since august of 2007 and have less than 9k miles with no evidence of battery or voltage problems.
