Manual Mode - Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD 2022 Manual

During this adaptive shift control process,
shifting might feel different as the
transmission determines the best settings.
When temperatures are very cold, the
transmission's gear shifting could be delayed
providing more stable shifts until the engine
warms up. Shifts could be more noticeable
with a cold transmission. This difference in
shifting is normal.
L : This position allows selection of a range
of gears appropriate for current driving
conditions. If equipped, see Range Selection
Mode under Manual Mode 0 213.
Caution
Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle
in one place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage the
transmission. The repair will not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. If the
vehicle is stuck, do not spin the tires.
When stopping on a hill, use the brakes
to hold the vehicle in place.
Kickdown Mode
If equipped, the accelerator pedal provides
an additional downshift after pressing
through the kickdown feature.
It requires extra pedal pressure near the end
of its travel to engage.

Manual Mode

Range Selection Mode
If equipped, Range Selection Mode helps
control the vehicle's transmission and vehicle
speed while driving downhill or towing a
trailer by letting you select a desired range
of gears.
To use this feature:
1. Move the shift lever to L (Manual Mode).
2. Press the plus/minus buttons on the
shift lever to select the desired range of
gears for current driving conditions.
Driving and Operating
When the shift lever is moved from
D (Drive) to L (Manual Mode), a number
displays next to the L, indicating the current
transmission range.
This number is the highest gear that the
transmission will command while operating
in L (Manual Mode). All gears below that
number are available. As driving conditions
change, the transmission can automatically
shift to lower gears. For example, when L5 is
selected, 1 (First) through 5 (Fifth) gears are
automatically shifted by the transmission,
but 6 (Sixth) cannot be used until the plus/
minus button on the shift lever is used to
change to the range.
Grade Braking is not available when Range
Selection Mode is active. See Tow/Haul
Mode 0 214.
While using Range Selection Mode, cruise
control and the Tow/Haul Mode can
be used.
If the vehicle has an exhaust brake, it can
also be used, but will not automatically
downshift the transmission. See Exhaust
Brake 0 219
