Getting to Know Your Tahoe/Suburban
22
StabiliTrak is an
advanced com-
puter-controlled
vehicle stability
and traction
enhancement
system that
assists with directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions. It
turns on automatically every time you
start your vehicle.
To limit wheelspin and help maintain
directional control, you should always
leave the system on. However, if your
vehicle becomes stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required, the system should
be turned off.
To turn off the traction control part of the
system, press the
(StabiliTrak) but-
ton located below the climate controls
on the instrument panel.
To turn off the traction control and stabil-
ity enhancement systems, press and
hold the button for five seconds.
When the system is turned off, the
StabiliTrak light will illuminate.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

6-Speed Automatic
Transmission Controls
(Suburban 2500 models only)
The 6-speed automatic transmission has
a unique gear range selection mode
called Driver Shift Control that enables
the driver to select the range of gears
desired for the current driving condi-
tions, such as when driving on downhill
grades.
To use this feature, move the shift lever
to the Manual (M) position and select a
lower or higher driving gear using the
+ / – button on the shift lever. The dis-
play on the instrument panel cluster will
show the current gear selection.
Press the – (minus) side of the button to
downshift. When slowing to a stop, the
vehicle will automatically downshift.
Press the + (plus) side of the button to
upshift. As vehicle speed increases, you
will need to manually upshift.
If current vehicle speed is too high or
too low for the requested gear, the shift
will not occur.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
