Initial Drive

Information

Transmission

Range Selection Mode

The Range Selection Mode switch

is located on the shift lever.

To enable the Range Selection

feature:

1. Move the column shift lever

to the M (Manual) position.

The current range will appear

next to the M. This is the

highest attainable range with

all lower gears accessible.

As an example, when

3 (Third) gear is selected,

1 (First) through 3 (Third) gears

are available.

2. Press the plus/minus buttons,

located on the steering column

shift lever, to select the desired

range of gears for current driving

conditions. See Automatic

Transmission Operation in the

owner manual.

Cruise control can be used while the

vehicle is in Range Selection Mode.

See Manual Mode on page 9‑10.

Four-Wheel Drive

If the vehicle has four-wheel drive,

you can send the engine's driving

power to all four wheels for extra

traction. Read the following before

using four-wheel drive.

Automatic Transfer Case

The transfer case knob is located

to the left of the instrument panel

cluster. You can choose among

five driving settings:

2m(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.

4m(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.

4n(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.

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.

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.

Fuel Economy Gauge

Metric

English

This gauge shows when the vehicle

is operating at a fuel efficient point.

Driving behavior that improves fuel

efficiency makes the fuel indicator

move to the high efficiency band on

the fuel gauge.

See Fuel Economy Gauge on

page 5‑3for more information.

Automatic Engine Start/

Stop Feature

Start the engine as you would any

other engine. See “Starting the

Engine”in the owner manual for

more information on starting. The

hybrid system provides very quiet

engine starting. If pulling a trailer

with trailer brakes, see Trailer

Towing on page 9‑16 for more

information.

Auto Stop

The vehicle has an Auto Stop

feature. After a successful engine

start, the engine may turn off and

operate in the Auto Stop mode.

Keep your foot firmly on the brake

pedal until you are ready for the

vehicle to move.

Engine OFF and AUTO STOP

modes are indicated on the

tachometer display. When the

tachometer needle indicates OFF,

the engine is not running and will

remain off until the ignition key is

placed in the START position or a

remote vehicle start is performed.

When the tachometer needle

indicates AUTO STOP, the hybrid

system is on, the engine is not

running, but may Auto Start at any

time without notice. See Tachometer

on page 5‑3for more information.

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid - 2012

1-4 In Brief

A chime will sound if the driver door

is opened while in Auto Stop as a

reminder that the ignition switch is

not in the LOCK/OFF position.

Always turn the ignition switch to

LOCK/OFF and remove the key

from the ignition switch when exiting

the vehicle.

Auto Start

The vehicle also has an Auto Start

feature. The engine will remain off

while in Auto Stop mode until

vehicle conditions require the

engine to run. The near-instant

starting of the engine from Auto

Stop mode is called Auto Start.

EV Mode

The vehicle also has an EV mode

which uses only the electric motor

to move the vehicle. With light

acceleration, the vehicle will drive in

EV mode. EV mode is unavailable

when the vehicle is out of fuel.

For more information on Auto Stop,

Auto Start, and EV Mode, see

Starting the Vehicle on page 9‑2.

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking enables the

electric drive motor to operate as a

generator when coasting or braking.

Energy from the moving vehicle

recharges the hybrid battery.

The hydraulic disc brakes work with

the regenerative braking to insure

effective braking.

The braking system is computer

controlled and blends the

regenerative braking with the

conventional hydraulic disc brakes

to meet any requirements for

deceleration. Because the controller

applies the hydraulic brakes through

its high pressure accumulator, you

may occasionally hear the motor

driven pump when it recharges the

system. This is normal. In the event

of a controller problem, the brake

pedal may be harder to push and

the stopping distance may be

longer.

See Regenerative Braking on

page 9‑15.

Battery

This vehicle has a standard 12-volt

battery and a high voltage hybrid

battery. When a new standard

12-volt battery is needed, see

your dealer for one that has the

replacement number shown on

the original battery's label. 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. See Battery

on page 10‑11.

Service

Never try to do your own service on

hybrid components. You can be

injured and the vehicle can be

damaged if you try to do your own

service work. Service and repair of

these hybrid components should

only be performed by a trained

service technician with the proper

knowledge and tools. See Doing

Your Own Service Work on

page 10‑2.

Performance and

Maintenance

Tire Sealant and

Compressor Kit

This vehicle has a tire sealant and

compressor kit that can be used to

seal small punctures in the tread

area of the tire. Significant sidewall

damage will require the tire to be

replaced.

See Tire Sealant and Compressor

Kit on page 10‑22 for complete

operating information.
