Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
208 Driving and Operating
ESC activates when the vehicle senses a
difference between the intended path and
the direction the vehicle is actually traveling.
ESC selectively applies braking pressure to
one or more of the vehicle wheel brakes to
assist the driver in keeping the vehicle on
the intended path. Trailer Sway Control
(TSC) is also on automatically when the
vehicle is started. SeeTrailer Sway Control
(TSC) 0309.
If cruise control is being used and traction
control or ESC begins to limit wheel spin,
cruise control will disengage. Cruise control
may be turned back on when road
conditions allow.
Both systems come on automatically when
the vehicle is started and begins to move.
The systems may be heard or felt while
they are operating or while performing
diagnostic checks. This is normal and does
not mean there is a problem with the
vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both systems on
for normal driving conditions, but it may be
necessary to turn TCS off if the vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If the
Vehicle Is Stuck 0192 and “Turning the
Systems Off and On” later in this section.
The indicator light for both systems is in the
instrument cluster. This light:
.Flashes when TCS is limiting wheel spin
.Flashes when ESC is activated
.Turns on and stay on when either system
is not working
See Traction Control System (TCS)/Electronic
Stability Control Light 0118.
If either system fails to turn on or to
activate, a message displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), and
dcomes on
and stays on to indicate that the system is
inactive and is not assisting the driver in
maintaining control. Adjust driving
accordingly.
If
dcomes on and stays on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the vehicle off and wait 15 seconds.
3. Start the vehicle.
4. Drive the vehicle. If
dcomes on and stays on, see your
dealer as soon as possible.
Turning the Systems Off and On
Caution
Do not repeatedly brake or accelerate
heavily when TCS is off. The vehicle
driveline could be damaged.
To turn Traction (TCS) on and off, in the
controls app on the infotainment home
screen, select Controls > DRIVE & PARK >
Traction Control. To turn ESC on or off,
select
Tnext to the Traction Control menu.
The following options appear:
.Traction Control Off
.Traction Control and ESC Off
.Traction Control and ESC On
The traction off light
idisplays in the
instrument cluster when the traction control
is turned off. When the traction control is
turned back on, the traction off light
i
displayed in the instrument cluster will turn
off. See Traction Off Light 0118.
If TCS is actively limiting wheel spin when
disabled, the system will not turn off until
the wheels stop spinning.

Service Mode is recommended when the
vehicle is put on a hoist or a floor jack is
used to raise a corner. Service Mode
automatically disables when the vehicle
speeds up.
Alignment Mode
Alignment Mode will optimize the vehicle
height to provide the most accurate wheel
alignment. This mode should be enabled
once the vehicle is driven onto the
alignment station.
To enable Alignment Mode, ensure the
vehicle is at Normal Height and shift the
vehicle to N (Neutral). Alignment Mode
automatically disables when the vehicle
speeds up.
Air Suspension Operation with Door(s) or
Hood Open
The air suspension will temporarily suspend
all height changes while the hood or any
door is open.
System Over-Temperature
If the air suspension is under heavy use, the
system may temporarily suspend all height
changes to allow the compressor to cool
down. When this occurs and a heightchange is requested, the message LEVELING
SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE will display in the
instrument cluster.
Air Suspension Service
If a SERVICE LEVELING SYSTEM message
displays in the instrument cluster, see your
authorized dealer immediately.
Cruise Control
If equipped, cruise control allows the vehicle
to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without active
acceleration. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady
speed. Do not use cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
Cruise control will disengage if:
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin.
See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
.TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
.A collision alert occurs. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261.
.The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow cruise control to
be safely used, cruise control can be turned
back on.

the release to override cruise control, briefly
pressing the thumbwheel down to−SET will
result in the cruise speed being set to the
current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control works on a hill
depends on the vehicle speed, load, and the
steepness of the hill. When driving up a
steep hill, you may need to apply the
accelerator pedal to maintain the cruise
speed. When driving down a steep hill, you
may need to apply the brake pedal to keep
the vehicle speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control will disengage.

Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
5is pressed or if the vehicle is
turned off.
Speed Limiter
If equipped, Speed Limiter allows you to set
a maximum speed limit. When Speed Limiter
is active at a set speed, it prevents the
vehicle from accelerating above the set
speed even if you continue to accelerate.
Speed Limiter can be used at speeds of
about 20 km/h (12 mph) or more.
You can temporarily override the set speed.
See “Overriding Speed Limiter” later in this
section.
Speed Limiter does not limit the vehicle
speed when driving down a hill. If the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed when
driving down a hill, beeps will sound to alert
you that the vehicle has exceeded the set
speed.
{Warning
Speed Limiter does not automatically
apply the brakes in emergency braking
situations. To avoid possible injury or
death, always be prepared to brake in
emergencies and pay careful attention to
the road ahead while driving. Speed Limiter will automatically be
disabled if:
.Cruise control or Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) is turned on, if equipped.
.Super Cruise is turned on, if equipped.
Speed Limiter is controlled using the +RES
and −SET thumbwheel and the
*button on
the steering wheel:

overpasses.
.There are low sun angles.
.Ambient lighting is poor in the evening or
early morning.
.There are multiple changes in brightness
or there are shadows along the roadway.
.There are conditions associated with low
visibility such as fog, rain, snow, or road
spray.
.The on-board camera’s view of the road is
blocked by leaves, snow, or other debris.
If Automatic Speed Limiter becomes
temporarily unavailable, change to
Manual mode. Resuming Speed Limiter
If Speed Limiter was active but then
*was
pressed, Speed Limiter can be resumed using
the previous set speed. Briefly move the
thumbwheel up to +RES and release it to
activate Speed Limiter using the previous set
speed.
If Speed Limiter was turned off because
cruise control, ACC, or Super Cruise was
turned on, to use Speed Limiter again:
1. Turn off cruise control, ACC, or Super Cruise.
2. On the infotainment home screen, touch Controls > Drive (Drive & Park) > Speed
Limiter.
3. Select Manual or Auto.
Overriding Speed Limiter
When Speed Limiter is active, the set speed
can be temporarily overridden only when
you fully apply the accelerator pedal. You
can control vehicle acceleration again when
the vehicle speed is below the set speed.
Turning Off Speed Limiter
To turn off Speed Limiter, from the
infotainment home screen, touch Controls >
Drive (Drive & Park) > Speed Limiter > Off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time (or
distance) between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path,
moving in the same direction. If no vehicle
is detected in your path, ACC works like
regular cruise control. ACC uses a camera
and radar sensor(s) to detect other vehicles.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0404.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake
pedal or press
*. If ACC is controlling the
vehicle speed when the Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system activates, ACC
may disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0207. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, ACC
can be turned back on.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
218 Driving and Operating
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system
will disengage ACC and prevent ACC from
being re-engaged while TCS or StabiliTrak/
ESC is disabled.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and may
not have time to slow the vehicle down
enough to avoid a collision with another
vehicle you are following. This can occur
when vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“Alerting the Driver”later in this section.
Complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0183.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for children,
pedestrians, animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads or when
the sensors are blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may not detect a
vehicle ahead. Keep the entire front of
the vehicle clean.
.Visibility is poor due to rain, snow,
fog, dirt, insect residue, or dust; when
other foreign objects obscure the
camera and/or radar; or when the
vehicle in front or oncoming traffic
causes additional environmental
obstructions, such as road spray. ACC
performance is limited under these
conditions.
.On slippery roads where fast changes
in tire traction can cause excessive
wheel slip.
5:Press to turn the system on or off. The
indicator turns white on the instrument
cluster when ACC is turned on.
+RES : If ACC is already activated, press the
thumbwheel up briefly to resume the
previous set speed or to increase the set
speed. See “Increasing Speed While ACC Is at
a Set Speed” later in this section.
–SET : If ACC is already activated, briefly
press the thumbwheel down to –SET to set
the ACC cruise speed or to decrease the set
speed. See “Reducing Speed While ACC Is at
a Set Speed” later in this section.

224 Driving and Operating
{Warning
When using ACC to pass a vehicle or
perform a lane change, the following
distance to the vehicle being passed may
be reduced. ACC may not apply sufficient
acceleration or braking when passing a
vehicle or performing a lane change.
Always be ready to manually accelerate
or brake to complete the pass or lane
change.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to stopped
or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For
example, the system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
.Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end.
.Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages.
.Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
has been disabled.
.If equipped with Air Suspension, the
vehicle ride height is outside normal
operating range. See Air Suspension0211.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports a blockage when
driving in a remote area with no other
vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable. The ACC indicator light will turn white when
ACC is disengaged.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See
“Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control” previously in this
section. Always consider driving conditions
before using either cruise control mode.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow distance gap
behind a detected vehicle, and will slow
down your vehicle to a stop behind that
vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Alert Type > Adaptive Cruise Go
Notifier.
