Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner Manual - 2012 - 2nd - 11/9/11

Driving and Operating 9-35

2 (Second): This position reduces

vehicle speed even more than

3 (Third) without using the brakes.

You can use 2 (Second) on hills.

It can help control vehicle speed as

you go down steep mountain roads,

but then you would also want to use

the brakes off and on.

If you manually select 2 (Second)

in an automatic transmission,

the transmission will start in

second gear. You can use this

feature for reducing the speed of the

rear wheels when you are trying to

start the vehicle from a stop on

slippery road surfaces.

1 (First): This position reduces

vehicle speed without using the

brakes. You can use it for major/

severe downgrades and off-road

driving where the vehicle would

otherwise accelerate due to

steepness of grade. When you shift

to 1 (First) it provides the lowest

gear appropriate to the vehicle's

current road speed and continues to

downshift as the vehicle slows,

eventually downshifting to

1 (First) gear.

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.
