Step by step.
- 01
While parked, select the Vehicle Controls app on the center display.
- 02
Open Drive and Park, turn One-Pedal Driving on and choose the available deceleration level; use the quick button if it is shown on your display.
- 03
In Drive, press the accelerator normally, then lift slightly for gradual deceleration or lift fully for stronger slowing toward a stop.
- 04
Use the brake pedal whenever extra or emergency braking is needed, and return to the menu to turn One-Pedal Driving off on slippery roads.
Important limits
- Do not apply these instructions to gasoline, flex-fuel or diesel Sierra models that share the same catalog route.
- GMC does not recommend One-Pedal Driving on wet, snowy or icy roads; always use the brake pedal for hard emergency stops.
Quick checks.
- ✓If deceleration feels different with a full, very cold or very hot battery, the vehicle may blend friction brakes to maintain a consistent response.
- ✓If Auto Vehicle Hold is unavailable, note that GMC disables it while One-Pedal Driving is active.
