AKENG44_Escalade Page 244 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Starting and Operating Instructions CAUTION Do not shift out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) with the engine racing. You could lose control of the vehicle and you or others may be injured. Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is racing is dangerous. Keep your foot on the brake pedal and off the accelerator pedal. After shifting, wait a while, then release the brake pedal slowly. This will prevent any unexpected rapid acceleration. NOTICE Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) with the engine racing is not covered by your warranty. The transmission in your vehicle uses shift stabilization which adjusts transmission shifting to the current driving situation to reduce rapid upshifts and downshifts. In some cases, the shift stabilization feature will prevent upshifting to maintain the current vehicle speed which results in what seems to be a hanging shift. This is normal. The transmission also uses adaptive shift controls. These controls compare key shift parameters to pre-programmed ideal shift conditions. The transmission customizes optimum settings for gear shifting and each shift may feel different. The transmission shift schedule is variable and adjusts to how the vehicle is being used, providing improved vehicle performance. In cold weather, the transmission operates in warm-up mode until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. While the transmission is in warm-up mode, upshifts may be delayed. This is normal. . . . 244
