Center Console Storage Area
Your vehicle has a console compartment between the
bucket seats.
To open it, press the button on the side of the console
and swing the console lid open.
The console may be equipped with an accessory power
outlet inside. See
Accessory Power Outlets on
page 3-18.
The rear of the console also has a cupholder that
swings down for the rear seat passengers to use.
Luggage Carrier
You can load things on top of your vehicle with this
feature.
The luggage carrier has slats and siderails attached to
the roof and crossrails which can be moved back
and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the
siderails or siderail supports.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 200 lbs. (918 kg) or hangs
over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage
your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats
as far forward as possible and against the side
rails, making sure to fasten it securely.Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see
Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-44.
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 ®t
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.

Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located
in the center and on the
side of your instrument
panel to direct the air¯ow.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the
direction and amount of air¯ow inside the vehicle.
Move the louvers up or down. Use the thumbwheel next
to or underneath the outlet to close the louvers. For
the most efficient air¯ow and temperature control, keep
the outlet in the fully opened position.
Rear seat outlets can be used to adjust air¯ow toward
either seating area, the ¯oor or upward. Move the center
louvers up or down to direct the air¯ow.
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 de¯ectors, 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.

Your warranty does not cover parts or components that
fail because of overloading.
The label will help you decide how much cargo and
installed equipment your truck can carry.
Using heavier suspension components to get added
durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask your
dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way.
If you put things inside your vehicle ± like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else ± they go as fast
as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly,
or if there is a crash, they'll keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
·Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
·Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
·Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
·When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
·Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
There's also important loading information for off-road
