    The owners manual in the glove box should explain the 2 buttons. As to what gear for towing normally you would leave in over drive unless it starts down shifting (back and forth) a lot then drop down a gear. Going up a mountain for example put in a gear that maintains a steady speed and RPM.

    To turn off VSC / Traction Control :

    At a stop , push and hold the VSC ( car with burn out lines ) for 3-5 seconds , this will illuminate the AUTO LSD and VSC OFF lights , continue holding the button until the AUTO LSD light goes out leaving only the VSC OFF light illuminated

    Pushing the button again re-activates the VSC system as does turning off the truck

    When u say overdrive u mean 4th gear or d position cause i saw a couple of thread that said never put it in d position when towing because its too hard on transmission

    Use D unless the tranny is hunting for gears , if so , use 4th
