Hybrid Features - Cadillac Chevrolet Tahoe 2012 Manual

1-2 In Brief
Four-Wheel Drive
If the vehicle has four-wheel drive,
you can send the engine's driving
power to all four wheels for extra
traction. Read the following before
using four-wheel drive.
Automatic Transfer Case
The transfer case knob is located
to the left of the instrument panel
cluster. You can choose among
five driving settings:
2 (Two-Wheel Drive High):
This setting is used for driving in
most street and highway situations.
AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel
Drive): This setting is ideal for
use when road surface traction
conditions are variable.
4 (Four-Wheel Drive High):
Use the four-wheel high position
when you need extra traction, such
as on snowy or icy roads or in most
off-road situations.
4 (Four-Wheel Drive Low) :
This setting delivers extra torque.
You might choose Four-Wheel Drive
Low if you are driving off-road in
deep sand, deep mud, deep snow,
and while climbing or descending
steep hills.
N (Neutral): Shift the vehicle's
transfer case to N (Neutral) only
when towing the vehicle. See
Recreational Vehicle Towing on
page 10 38 and Towing the
Vehicle in the owner manual.
See Four-Wheel Drive on
page 9 10.
