2003 GMC YUKON DENALI windshield wipers

Notice: If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you
can’t turn
it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force
it could break the
key or the ignition switch.
If none of these works,
then your vehicle needs service.
B (ACCESSORY): This position allows you to use
things like the radio, power windows and the windshield
wipers when the engine is
off.
C (RUN): This position is for driving.
D (START): This position starts your engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature will
allow certain features on your vehicle
to continue to
work for up
to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned
to LOCK.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position - that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL
(N) only.
Notice: Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift
to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle
is stopped.
1. With your foot
off the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key
to START. When the engine starts,
let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
Notice: Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor. Wait about
15
seconds between each try to help avoid draining
your battery or damaging your starter.
2. If it doesn’t start within 10 seconds, push the
accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor, while you
hold the ignition key in START. When the engine
starts, let go of the key and let up on the accelerator
pedal. Wait about
15 seconds between each try.
When starting your engine in very cold weather
(below
0°F or -18”C), do this:
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key to START and hold it there up
to
15 seconds. When the engine starts, let go of
the key.

Turn SignaVMultifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
Turn and Lane Change Signals
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Flash-to-Pass
Windshield Wipers
Windshield Washer
Cruise Control
For information on the exterior lamps, see Exterior
Lamps
on page 3-13.
Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically.
To signal a lane change, just raise
or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
flash more quickly than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and a blown fuse
(see Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-87).

Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the
turn signal and the message TURN SIGNAL ON will
also appear in the
DIC. To turn the chime and message
off, move the turn signal lever td the off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
$0 io (Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer): To
change the headlamps from low
to high beam, push the
lever toward the instrument panel. To return
to
low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever toward
you. Then release
it.
When the high beams are
on, this indicator light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
I I
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are in the automatic
position. To
use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or on
low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn on.
They’ll stay on
as long as you hold the lever toward you.
The high-beam indicator
on the instrument panel
cluster will come on. Release the lever
to return to
normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
(Mist): For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to
mist. Hold it there until the wipers start. Then let go.
The wipers will stop after one wipe.
If you want
more wipes, hold the band on mist longer.
(Delay): You can set the wiper speed for a long or
short delay between wipes. This can be very useful
in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay
time. The closer
to the top of the lever, the shorter
the delay.
0 (Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed,
turn the band away from you
to the first solid band past
the delay settings. For high-speed wiping, turn the
band further, to the second solid band past the delay
settings. To stop the wipers, move the band
to off.

band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.

Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
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.
In
freezing weatt.-., dl_-.'t use your washer
until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice
on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Rear Window WasherNViper
This knob is located on the
instrument panel to the left
of the steering wheel.
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
0 (Off): To turn the wiper off, turn the knob to this
symbol.
a (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.
