Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./

Driving and Operating

.

Going about 55 km/h (35 mph) or
more, push the accelerator all
the way down.

By doing this, the vehicle shifts
down to the next gear and has more
power.

D (Drive) can be used when towing
a trailer, carrying a heavy load,
driving on steep hills, or for off-road
driving. You may want to shift the
transmission to a lower gear
selection if the transmission shifts
too often.

Downshifting the transmission in
slippery road conditions could result
in skidding, see

“

Skidding

”

under

Loss of Control on page 9-5

.

The vehicle has a shift stabilization
feature that adjusts the transmission
shifting to the current driving
conditions in order to reduce rapid
upshifts and downshifts. This shift
stabilization feature is designed to
determine, before making an
upshift, if the engine will be able to
maintain vehicle speed by analyzing
things such as vehicle speed,

throttle position and vehicle load.
If the shift stabilization feature
determines that a current vehicle
speed cannot be maintained, the
transmission does not upshift and
instead holds the current gear. In
some cases, this may appear to be
a delayed shift, however the
transmission is operating normally.

The vehicle's transmission uses
adaptive shift controls that
compares key shift parameters to
pre-programmed ideal shifts stored
in the transmissions computer. The
transmission constantly makes
adjustments to improve vehicle
performance according to how the
vehicle is being used, such as with
a heavy load or when temperature
changes. During this adaptive shift
controls process, shifting may feel
different as the transmission
determines the best settings.

When temperatures are very cold,
the Hydra-Matic

®

6L80 automatic

transmission's gear shifting may be
delayed providing more stable shifts
until the engine warms up. Shifts

may be more noticeable with a cold
transmission. This difference in
shifting is normal.

M (Manual Mode):

This position

lets drivers select the range of gears
appropriate for current driving
conditions. See

“

Driver Shift Control

(DSC)

”

under

Manual Mode on

page 9-31

.

Notice:

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 you are stuck, do not
spin the tires. When stopping on
a hill, use the brakes to hold the
vehicle in place.

Normal Mode Grade Braking

Normal Mode Grade Braking is
enabled when the vehicle is started,
but is not enabled in Range
Selection Mode. It assists in
maintaining desired vehicle speeds
when driving on downhill grades by
using the engine and transmission
