2012 Cadillac Escalade Owner Manual - Page 4

1-2 In Brief 4 m (Four-Wheel Drive High): Use the four-wheel high position when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads or in most off-road situations. 4 n (Four-Wheel Drive Low): This setting delivers extra torque. You might choose Four-Wheel Drive Low if you are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud, deep snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills. Automatic Transfer Case Hybrid Features High Voltage Safety Information This vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery and a high voltage hybrid battery. Only a trained service technician with the proper knowledge and tools should inspect, test, or replace the hybrid battery. See your dealer if the hybrid battery needs service. The 12-volt battery cables, in the engine compartment, are clearly labeled. In emergency situations, first responders can cut those cables to disable the high voltage hybrid battery system. The transfer case knob is located to the left of the instrument panel cluster. You can choose among five driving settings: 2 m (Two-Wheel Drive High): This setting is used for driving in most street and highway situations. AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive): This setting is ideal for use when road surface traction conditions are variable. N (Neutral): Shift the vehicle's transfer case to N (Neutral) only when towing the vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 10‑33 and "Towing the Vehicle" in the owner manual. See Four-Wheel Drive on page 9‑11.
