Tow/Haul Mode; Four-Wheel Drive; Front Axle Locking Feature - Chevrolet Avalanche Owner's Manual

Tow/Haul Mode

Your vehicle is equipped with a tow/haul mode. The
button is located on the end of the column shift lever.
You can use this feature to assist when towing or
hauling a heavy load. See "Tow/Haul Mode" under
Towing a Trailer on page 4-62 for more information.

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. To get the most satisfaction out of four-wheel
drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read
the part that follows before using four-wheel drive.
See the appropriate text for the transfer case in
your vehicle.
Notice: Driving on clean, dry pavement in
four-wheel drive 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 for extended periods of time.

Front Axle Locking Feature

The front axle locks and unlocks automatically when
you shift the transfer case. Some delay for the axle to
lock or unlock is normal.
