2001 Chevrolet Tahoe Owner's Manual - Page 101

NOTICE: If your rear wheels can't rotate, don't try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transmission. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transmission. Use your brakes or shift into PARK (P) to hold your vehicle in position on a hill. On cold days, approximately 32_F (0_C) or colder, your transmission is designed to shift differently until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. This is intended to improve heater performance. Tow/Haul Mode Selector Switch Your vehicle is equipped with a tow/haul mode. The selector switch is located on the end of the column shift lever. You can use this feature to assist when towing or hauling a heavy load. See "Tow/Haul Mode" in the Index for more information. The tow/haul mode also interacts with the Autoridet feature, if your vehicle is so equipped, to enhance the ride when trailering or with a loaded vehicle. See "Autoridet" in the Index. 2-23
