If your CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 HD 2022 is equipped with a two-speed automatic transfer case, use the buttons to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. The settings are:

• 2↑ (Two-Wheel Drive High): For driving on most streets and highways. This provides the best fuel economy.

• AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive): Use when road surface conditions are variable. Power is sent to the front and rear wheels automatically as needed.

• 4↑ (Four-Wheel Drive High): Use when extra traction is needed, such as on snowy or icy roads or when off-roading.

• 4↓ (Four-Wheel Drive Low): Engages the front axle and delivers extra torque for deep sand, mud, snow, or steep hills. Keep vehicle speed below 72 km/h (45 mph).

• N (Neutral): Use only when the vehicle needs to be towed.

Shifting between 2↑, 4↑, and AUTO can be done at normal driving speed. To shift into or out of 4↓, the vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 5 km/h (3 mph) with the transmission in N (Neutral).

The Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC) system allows you to adjust the amount of power output (Trailer Gain) to the trailer’s electric brakes.

Trailer Brake Control Panel:

• Trailer Gain Adjustment Buttons (+/-): Press these buttons to increase or decrease the amount of braking power sent to the trailer brakes. The setting can be adjusted from 0.0 to 10.0.

• Manual Trailer Brake Apply Lever: Slide this lever to the right to apply the trailer’s brakes independently of the vehicle’s brakes.

Trailer Gain Adjustment Procedure:

1. With the trailer attached, drive on a level, traffic-free road at about 32-40 km/h (20-25 mph).

2. Fully apply the Manual Trailer Brake Apply Lever.

3. Adjust the Trailer Gain using the +/- buttons to a point just below trailer wheel lock-up (indicated by wheel squeal or tire smoke). If towing a heavy trailer, lock-up may not occur; in this case, set the gain to the highest allowable setting for the condition.

Readjust the Trailer Gain whenever vehicle loading, trailer loading, or road surface conditions change.
