2003 GMC YUKON lock

Operation Tips
•
Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The
heater and defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
•Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your
vehicle.
•Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deflectors, etc., may affect
the performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
Rear Air Conditioning System
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional rear air
conditioner it has two rear air conditioning fan speed
selectors. One fan speed selector is located in the
overhead console and the other is located in the
headliner above the second row seats.
To increase and decrease theflow of cooled air to the
rear vents, turn the knob to the fan speed you want.
The knob has three speed positions. To increase
theflow of cooled air, turn the knob clockwise. To
decrease theflow of cooled air, turn it counterclockwise.
To turn the fan off, turn the knob to the off position.Front Control
