2-33 Windshield Washer
(Washer Fluid): There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. To spray washer fluid on
the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will clear
the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
Rear Window Washer/Wiper
This knob is located on
the instrument panel.
To turn the rear wiper on, turn the knob to either 1 or 2.
For long delayed wiping, turn the knob to 1. For short
delayed wiping, turn the knob to 2.
(Off): To turn the wiper off, turn the knob to
this symbol.
(Washer Fluid): To wash the window, press the
knob with this symbol.
The rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as
the windshield washer. However, the rear window
washer will run out of fluid before the windshield
washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your
rear windows, check the fluid level.
For more information, see ªLow Washer Fluidº in the Index.

2-38 Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic
headlamp system will turn on your headlamps at the
normal brightness along with other lamps such as the
taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and the instrument
panel lights. The radio lights will also dim.
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlamp off delay,
which will keep the headlamps on for a short time after
the ignition is turned to OFF. For more information see
ªSecondary Information Center (SIC)º in the Index.
Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of the
instrument panel in the defroster grille. Be sure it is not
covered, or the system will be on whenever the ignition
is on.
The system may also turn on your headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so that
driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights does
not affect the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp
system will only be affected when the light sensor sees
a change in lighting lasting longer than the delay.To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
off. Then start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp
system will stay off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamps when you need them.
You may be able to turn off your automatic headlamp
system. See ªDaytime Running Lamps (DRL)º later in
this section for more information.
Lamps On Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on and your ignition
is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY. To disable the
chime, turn the thumbwheel all the way down. In the
automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition key is in OFF.

2-39 Puddle Lamps
Your vehicle is equipped with puddle lamps to help you
see the area near the base of the front doors when it is
dark out. The puddle lamps will illuminate when a door
is opened or when you press the UNLOCK button on the
keyless entry transmitter. The lamps will time out or
turn off once the engine is started.
You can program the puddle lamps not to come on if
you choose. See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the
Index for more information.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.The DRL system will come on when:

The ignition is on,

the exterior lamps control is off,

the automatic transmission is not in PARK (P),

the light sensor determines it is daytime and

the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on.
The instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp
system will switch from DRL to the headlamps or the
last chosen headlamp setting that was used.
When you turn the exterior lamps control to the off
position, the headlamps will go off, and your DRL
lamps will illuminate, provided it is not dark outside.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. Shifting the transmission into PARK (P) will also
allow you to idle the vehicle with the DRL off. The
DRL will stay off until you release the parking brake
or shift the transmission out of PARK (P).

2-47 Center Console Storage Area
Your vehicle has a console compartment between the
bucket seats.
If the console is locked, insert the console key into the
lock and unlock it. Press the button on the side and
swing the console lid open.
The console has a place to store compact discs and loose
change. The console is also equipped with an accessory
power outlet. See ªAccessory Power Outletsº later in
this section for more information.
To access the cell phone storage area, press the button
on the front of the console and an access lid will pop up.
To store a cell phone, place it inside the net on the inside
of the access lid.

2-49 Cargo Security Shade
CAUTION:
An improperly stored cargo cover could be
thrown about the vehicle during a collision or
sudden maneuver. You or others could be
injured. If you remove the cover, always store it
outside of the vehicle. When you put it back,
always be sure that it is securely reattached.
If you have a cargo security shade, you can use it to
cover items in the cargo area of your vehicle.
To use the shade, do the following:
1. Pull the shade handle toward the rear of the vehicle.
2. Latch the shade posts into the retaining sockets on
the cargo area trim panels.
To return the shade to the retracted position, do
the following:
1. Pull up on the shade handle to release the shade posts
from the retaining sockets.
2. Let the shade move forward to the full retracted position.To remove the shade from the vehicle, do the following:
1. Let the shade go all the way into the holder.
2. Then, grasping the passenger's side shade endcap,
push the shade endcap toward the driver's side of
the vehicle. The endcap should lock in the
compressed position.
3. Lift the shade up on the passenger's side, swing the
shade rearward and take it out of the vehicle.
To put the shade in the vehicle, do the following:
1. Make sure the shade slot in the holder faces rearward
with the round surface facing down.
2. Then, hold the shade at an angle and place the shade
holder tab into the slot in the driver's side trim panel.
3. Move the other end of the shade forward and hold it
next to the passenger's side trim panel slot.
4. Push the button on top of the passenger's side
endcap. This will allow the shade to extend into the
trim slot.
5. Lightly pull on the shade holder to make sure it is
secure. On Yukon XL Denali models there are two
slots. The slots furthest forward allow the shade to
be used if the third seat is removed or folded down.

To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're leaving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage and cargo
are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.

If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place
the load in the area over the rear wheels (behind the
rear side door on Yukon XL Denali models). If you
need to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside
the crossrails and siderails to spread the load. If
plywood is used, tie it to the siderail supports.

Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from sliding.
To move the crossrails, pull out on the latch release
handle at each end. Slide the crossrail to the desired
position balancing the force side to side. Push the
release handle back into the latched position and
slide the crossrail back and forth slightly to be
sure the latch snaps securely into place.
If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports. Also
tie the load to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so
tightly that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.

For the purpose of wind noise reduction, locate
the front crossrail approximately 18 to 24 inches
(46 cm to 58 cm) rearward of the front supports.

After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely locked
into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High
-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle,
care should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
The front ashtray is located in the center console. Press
the raised area on the access door to use the ashtray.
NOTICE:
If you store paper or other things that burn in
your ashtrays, they could be set on fire by
cigarettes or other smoking materials. That could
cause a fire and possibly damage your vehicle.
Do not store papers and other things that burn
in your ashtrays.
To remove the ashtray first locate the indent on the right
side of the ashtray. Then, place the tip of your finger in
the indent and pry the ashtray out.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way, and let
go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself.
NOTICE:
Holding a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it's heating can make it overload, damaging
the lighter and the heating element. Just push the
lighter all the way in and let go. When it's done,
it will pop back out by itself.
