Off-Road Mode on Tahoe should be used to improve driving at moderate speeds, on grass, gravel, dirt, unpaved roads, or snow-covered roads. The accelerator pedal is tuned for off-road use. This mode modifies pedal mapping, AWD, steering, ride height, ABS, ESC, and TCS performance.


The Off-Road Mode on Chevy Tahoe can be enabled using the Driver Mode Control (DMC) knob on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.

  • Know the local laws that apply to off-road driving.
