Chevrolet Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
13337620) - 2020 - CRC - 8/26/19
238 Driving and Operating
inputs. This feature is not intended
for use when the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, ice, snow, or gravel.
If the vehicle becomes stuck, see If
the Vehicle Is Stuck 0 197.
Snow/Ice Mode is only available on
two-wheel-drive vehicles. When
selected, the Snow/Ice Mode light
displays in the instrument cluster.
7 Off-Road Mode : Use to
improve driving at moderate speeds,
on grass, gravel, dirt, unpaved
roads, or snow-covered roads that
have not been groomed or plowed.
The accelerator pedal will be more
sensitive to provide finer control of
the torque at the wheels.
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), and the Traction
Control System (TCS) will change
for optimal off-road performance.
Use this mode for public off-road
recreational driving. See Off-Road
Driving 0 189.
When selected, the Off-Road Mode
indicator light displays in the
instrument cluster.
_ Tow/Haul Mode : This feature
assists when pulling a heavy trailer
or a heavy load. See Tow/Haul
Mode 0 224.
Tow/Haul Mode is designed to be
most effective when the vehicle and
trailer combined weight is at least
75% of the vehicle’s Gross
Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).
See “Weight of the Trailer” under
Trailer Towing 0 290.
Tow/Haul Mode is most useful when
pulling a heavy trailer or a heavy
load under the following conditions:
.
Through rolling terrain
.
In stop-and-go traffic
.
In busy parking lots where
improved low speed control of
the vehicle is desired
Operating the vehicle in Tow/Haul
Mode when lightly loaded or with no
trailer at all will not cause damage.
However, there is no benefit to
selecting Tow/Haul Mode when the
vehicle is unloaded. Such a
selection when unloaded may result
in unpleasant engine and
transmission driving characteristics,
heavy or light steering, and reduced
fuel economy.
When selected, the Tow/Haul Mode
light will display in the instrument
cluster.
If the vehicle is turned off with Tow/
Haul Mode active and then restarted
within four hours or less, Tow/Haul
will remain active. Otherwise the
vehicle will start in Normal Mode.
g Terrain Mode : Use for finer
control during low speed, off-road
driving. When using this mode it will
mimic the characteristics of
four-wheel-drive low (4
n) without
the torque capabilities.
Use when:
.
Traveling on very rough roads at
very low speeds, such as a
two-track or heavily rutted road.
.
Traveling slowly in grassy fields.
.
Pulling a boat out of the water
on a trailer.
