2000 GMC YUKON Back seat

2-55 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.

the outlets, remove the cover by lifting the pull tab.
When not in use, always cover the rear outlet with the
protective cap.

3-28 Rear Seat Audio (If Equipped)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources including AM
-FM, automatic tone
control, cassette tapes and CDs. However, the rear seat
passengers can only control the music sources that the
front seat passengers are not listening to. For example,
rear seat passengers may listen to a cassette tape through
headphones while the driver listens to the radio through
the front speakers. The rear seat passengers have control
of the volume for each set of headphones. Be aware that
the front seat audio controls always override the rear
seat audio controls.
Note that this feature is intended for rear seat passengers.PWR: Press this button to turn the rear seat audio
system on or off. The rear speakers will be muted
when the power is turned on. You may operate the
rear seat audio functions even when the primary radio
power is off.
VOL: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase volume and counterclockwise
to decrease volume. Push the knob back into its stored
position when you're not using it. The upper VOL knob
controls the upper headphone and the lower VOL knob
controls the lower headphone.
AM
-FM: Press this button to switch between AM, FM1
and FM2. If the front passengers are already listening to
AM
-FM, the rear seat audio controller will not switch
between the bands and cannot change the frequency.
SEEK: While listening to AM
-FM, press the up arrow
to tune to the next higher station and stay there. Press
the down arrow to tune to the next lower station and stay
there. The sound will mute while seeking. The SEEK
button is inactive if the AM
-FM mode on the front
radio is in use.
While listening to a cassette tape, press the up arrow to
hear the next selection on the tape. Press the down arrow
to go back to the previous selection. The SEEK button is
inactive if the tape mode on the front radio is in use.

4-19 Before You Go Off-Roading
There are some things to do before you go out. For
example, be sure to have all necessary maintenance and
service work done. Check to make sure all underbody
shields (if so equipped) are properly attached. Be sure
you read all the information about your four
-wheel-drive
vehicle in this manual. Is there enough fuel? Is the spare
tire fully inflated? Are the fluid levels up where they
should be? What are the local laws that apply to
off
-roading where you'll be driving? If you don't know,
you should check with law enforcement people in the
area. Will you be on someone's private land? If so,
be sure to get the necessary permission.
Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road Driving
There are some important things to remember about
how to load your vehicle.

The heaviest things should be on the load floor and
forward of your rear axle. Put heavier items as far
forward as you can.

Be sure the load is secured properly, so driving on
the off
-road terrain doesn't toss things around.
CAUTION:

Cargo on the load floor piled higher than the
seatbacks can be thrown forward during a
sudden stop. You or your passengers could
be injured. Keep cargo below the top of
the seatbacks.

Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be
tossed about when driving over rough terrain.
You or your passengers can be struck by flying
objects. Secure the cargo properly.

Heavy loads on the roof raise the vehicle's
center of gravity, making it more likely to
roll over. You can be seriously or fatally
injured if the vehicle rolls over. Put heavy
loads inside the cargo area, not on the roof.
Keep cargo in the cargo area as far forward
and low as possible.
You'll find other important information in this manual.
