Cadillac Escalade Two-mode Hybrid - 2010
Automatic Engine Start/Stop Feature
Start the engine as you would any other engine.
See
“ Starting the Engine ” in the owner manual for more
information on starting. The hybrid system provides very
quiet engine starting. If pulling a trailer with trailer
brakes, see
Towing a Trailer on page 5 ‑ 7 for more
information.
Auto Stop
The vehicle has an Auto Stop feature. After a
successful engine start, the engine may turn off and
operate in the Auto Stop mode.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until you are
ready for the vehicle to move.
Engine OFF and AUTO STOP modes are indicated on
the tachometer display. When the tachometer needle
indicates OFF, the engine is not running and will remain
off until the ignition key is placed in the START position
or a remote vehicle start is performed. When the
tachometer needle indicates AUTO STOP, the hybrid
system is on, the engine is not running, but may Auto
Start at any time without notice. See
Tachometer on
page 4 ‑ 4 for more information.
A chime will sound if the driver door is opened while in
Auto Stop as a reminder that the ignition switch is not in
the LOCK/OFF position. Always turn the ignition switch
to LOCK/OFF and remove the key from the ignition
switch when exiting the vehicle.
Auto Start
The vehicle also has an Auto Start feature. The engine
will remain off while in Auto Stop mode until vehicle
conditions require the engine to run. The near-instant
starting of the engine from Auto Stop mode is called
Auto Start.
EV Mode
The vehicle also has an EV mode which uses only the
electric motor to move the vehicle. With light
acceleration, the vehicle will drive in EV mode.
EV mode is unavailable when the vehicle is out of fuel.
See Starting the Vehicle in the Two ‐ Mode Hybrid
supplement to the owner manual.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking enables the electric drive motor
to operate as a generator when coasting or braking.
Energy from the moving vehicle recharges the hybrid
battery.
The hydraulic disc brakes work with the regenerative
braking to insure effective braking.
