Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2010

current vehicle speed cannot be maintained, the

transmission does not upshift and instead holds the

current gear. In some cases, this may appear to be a

delayed shift, however the transmission is operating

normally.

The vehicle's transmission uses adaptive shift controls

that compares key shift parameters to pre-programmed

ideal shifts stored in the transmissions computer. The

transmission constantly makes adjustments to improve

vehicle performance according to how the vehicle is

being used, such as with a heavy load or when

temperature changes. During this adaptive shift controls

process, shifting may feel different as the transmission

determines the best settings.

When temperatures are very cold, the Hydra-Matic

6L80 automatic transmission's gear shifting may be

delayed providing more stable shifts until the engine

warms up. Shifts may be more noticeable with a cold

transmission. This difference in shifting is normal.

Driver Shift Control (DSC)

The vehicle has Driver Shift Control (DSC). DSC

controls the vehicle's transmission and vehicle speed

while driving down hill or towing a trailer by allowing you

to select a desired range of gears.

To use this feature, do the following:

1. Move the shift lever to the M (Manual Mode).

2. Press the plus/minus button, to upshift or downshift

selecting the desired range of gears for current

driving conditions.
