Hi,
I have a 2013 150 update diesel auto and want to know how to use the auto box when towing correctly.
I have searched (and some may say not well) here and online and looked in the Toyota manual but can't find the info I want.
I know that I need and wish to tow in 'S' mode namely S4.
However, I don't really still understand how this auto box works still.
If I move the gear stick from 'D' across to S mode I understand it usually goes into S4. Now, if I leave it there and slow down will it automatically change down to S3 then S2 and S1 and then automatically go up S2 to S3 to S4 as I increase speed again? In other words it still works as a 'normal auto box without my input?
Or do I need to manually move the gear stick myself each time from S4 to S3 etc when I slow down or speed up?
If there is a relevant thread that I missed please move this to it.
thanks
David
