Four-Wheel Drive; Automatic Transfer Case; Front Axle - Chevrolet 2008 Avalanche Owner's Manual

Four-Wheel Drive

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send
your engine's driving power to all four wheels for
extra traction. Read the part that follows before
using four-wheel drive.
Notice: Driving on clean, dry pavement in
Four-Wheel-Drive High or Four-Wheel-Drive Low for
an extended period of time may cause premature
wear on your vehicle's powertrain. Do not drive on
clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel-Drive High or
Four-Wheel-Drive Low for extended periods of time.
While driving on clean dry pavement and during tight
turns, you may experience a vibration in the steering
system.

Front Axle

The front axle engages and disengages automatically
when you shift the transfer case. Some delay for
the axle to engage or disengage is normal.
