Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner Manual - 2011

Driving and Operating 9-29

In an emergency:

1. Brake using a firm and steady

pressure. Do not pump the

brakes repeatedly. This may

deplete power assist, requiring

increased brake pedal force.

2. Shift the vehicle to neutral. This

can be done while the vehicle is

moving. After shifting to neutral,

firmly apply the brakes and steer

the vehicle to a safe location.

3. Come to a complete stop, shift

to P (Park), and turn the ignition

to LOCK/OFF. On vehicles with

an automatic transmission, the

shift lever must be in P (Park) to

turn the ignition switch to the

LOCK/OFF position.

4. Set the parking brake. See

Parking Brake on page 9‑51.

The steering can bind with the

wheels turned off center. If this

happens, move the steering wheel

from right to left while turning the

key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If this

doesn't work, then the vehicle

needs service.

Notice: Using a tool to force the

key to turn in the ignition could

cause damage to the switch or

break the key. Use the correct

key, make sure it is all the way in,

and turn it only with your hand.

If the key cannot be turned by

hand, see your dealer.

B (ACC/ACCESSORY): This

position lets things like the radio

and the windshield wipers operate

while the engine is off. Use this

position if the vehicle must be

pushed or towed.

C (ON/RUN): This position can

be used to operate the electrical

accessories and to display some

instrument panel cluster warning

and indicator lights. The switch

stays in this position when the

engine is running. The transmission

is also unlocked in this position on

automatic transmission vehicles.

If you leave the key in the ACC/

ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position

with the engine off, the battery could

be drained. You may not be able to

start the vehicle if the battery is

allowed to drain for an extended

period of time.

D (START): This is the position that

starts the engine. When the engine

starts, release the key. The ignition

switch returns to ON/RUN for

driving.

A warning tone will sound when

the driver door is opened and the

ignition is in ACC/ACCESSORY or

LOCK/OFF, and the key is in the

ignition.

Starting the Engine

If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the

hybrid supplement for more

information.

Move the shift lever to P (Park) or

N (Neutral). The engine will not start

in any other position. To restart the

engine when the vehicle is already

moving, use N (Neutral) only.
