2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO lights

Use the dial to shift into and out of
Four-Wheel Drive.
You can choose among ve driving settings:
Indicator lights in the dial show which setting you
are in. The indicator lights will come on briey
when you turn on the ignition and one will stay on.
If the lights do not come on, you should take
your vehicle to your dealer for service. An indicator
light will ash while shifting the transfer case. It
will remain illuminated when the shift is complete.
If for some reason the transfer case cannot
make a requested shift, it will return to the last
chosen setting.
2
m(Two-Wheel-Drive High):This setting is
used for driving in most street and highway
situations. The front axle is not engaged in
Two-Wheel Drive. This setting also provides the
best fuel economy.AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive):This
setting is ideal for use when road surface traction
conditions are variable. When driving your
vehicle in AUTO, the front axle is engaged, but
the vehicle’s power is sent only to the front
and rear wheels automatically based on driving
conditions. Power is sent to the front and rear
wheels automatically based on driving conditions.
Driving in this mode results in slightly lower
fuel economy than Two-Wheel-Drive High.
4
m(Four-Wheel-Drive High):Use the
Four-Wheel-Drive High position when extra traction
is needed, such as on snowy or icy roads or in
most off-road situations. This setting also engages
the front axle to help drive your vehicle. This is
the best setting to use when plowing snow.

Shifting Into Two-Wheel-Drive High
Turn the knob to the Two-Wheel-Drive High
position. This can be done at any speed, except
when shifting from Four-Wheel-Drive Low.
Shifting Into Four-Wheel-Drive Low
When Four-Wheel-Drive Low is engaged, vehicle
speed should be kept below 45 mph. Extended
high-speed operation in Four-Wheel-Drive
Low may damage or shorten the life of the
drivetrain.
To shift to the Four-Wheel-Drive Low position, the
ignition must be in RUN and the vehicle must
be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h)
with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N). The
preferred method for shifting into Four-Wheel-Drive
Low is to have your vehicle moving 1 to 2 mph
(1.6 to 3.2 km/h). Turn the knob to the
Four-Wheel-Drive Low position. You must wait for
the Four-Wheel-Drive Low indicator light to
stop ashing and remain on before shifting your
transmission in gear.Notice:Shifting the transmission into gear
before the requested mode indicator light has
stopped ashing could damage the transfer
case. To help avoid damaging your vehicle,
always wait for the mode indicator lights
to stop ashing before shifting the
transmission into gear.
It is typical for your vehicle to exhibit
signicant engagement noise and bump when
shifting between Four-Wheel-Drive Low and
Four-Wheel-Drive High ranges or from NEUTRAL
with the engine running.
If the knob is turned to the Four-Wheel-Drive Low
position when your vehicle is in gear and/or
moving, the Four-Wheel-Drive Low indicator light
will ash for 30 seconds and not complete the
shift unless your vehicle is moving less than 3 mph
(5 km/h) and the transmission is in NEUTRAL (N).
After 30 seconds the transfer case will shift to
Four-Wheel-Drive High mode.

Shifting Out of Four-Wheel-Drive Low
To shift from Four-Wheel-Drive Low to
Four-Wheel-Drive High, AUTO or
Two-Wheel-Drive High, your vehicle must be
stopped or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with
the transmission in NEUTRAL (N) and the
ignition in RUN. The preferred method for shifting
out of Four-Wheel-Drive Low is to have your
vehicle moving 1 to 2 mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h). Turn
the knob to the Four-Wheel-Drive High, AUTO
or Two-Wheel-Drive High position. You must wait
for the Four-Wheel-Drive High, AUTO or
Two-Wheel-Drive High indicator light to stop
ashing and remain on before shifting your
transmission into gear.
Notice:Shifting the transmission into gear
before the requested mode indicator light has
stopped ashing could damage the transfer
case. To help avoid damaging your vehicle,
always wait for the mode indicator lights
to stop ashing before shifting the
transmission into gear.It is typical for your vehicle to exhibit signicant
engagement noise and bump when shifting
between Four-Wheel-Drive Low and
Four-Wheel-Drive High ranges or from NEUTRAL
with the engine running.
If the knob is turned to the Four-Wheel-Drive High,
AUTO, or Two-Wheel-Drive High switch position
when your vehicle is in gear and/or moving,
the Four-Wheel-Drive High, AUTO or
Two-Wheel-Drive High indicator light will ash for
30 seconds but will not complete the shift
unless your vehicle is moving less than 3 mph
(5 km/h) and the transmission is in NEUTRAL (N).
