GMC 2010 Sierra - Manual (Page 177)

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. To get the most satisfaction out of Four-Wheel
Drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read the
following before using Four-Wheel Drive. See the
appropriate text for the transfer case in the vehicle.
Notice: Driving on clean, dry pavement in
Four-Wheel Drive High or Four-Wheel Drive Low for
an extended period of time may cause premature
wear on your vehicle's powertrain. Do not drive on
clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel Drive High or
Four-Wheel Drive Low for extended periods of time.
While driving on clean dry pavement and during tight
turns, you may experience vibration in the steering
system.
If the vehicle has StabiliTrak ® , shifting into
Four-Wheel-Drive Low will turn Traction Control and
StabiliTrak
® off. See StabiliTrak ® System on page 5‑6.
Front Axle
The front axle engages and disengages automatically
when you shift the transfer case. Some delay for the
axle to engage or disengage is normal.
Manual Transfer Case
The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right
of the driver. Use this lever to shift into and out of
Four-Wheel Drive.
