2005 GMC CANYON stop start

Shifting from Four-Wheel Low to
Two-Wheel High or Four-Wheel High
To shift from four-wheel low to two-wheel high or
four-wheel high, your vehicle must be stopped or
moving less than 1.2 mph (2 km/h) with the transmission
in NEUTRAL (N) or the clutch pedal engaged.
The preferred method for shifting out of four-wheel low
is to have your vehicle moving 1.2 mph (2 km/h).
Press and release the four-wheel high button. You must
wait for the four-wheel high indicator light to stop
ashing and remain illuminated before shifting your
transmission into gear or releasing the clutch pedal.
If the four-wheel high button is pressed when your
vehicle is in gear and/or moving faster than 1.2 mph
(2 km/h), the four-wheel high indicator light will ash for
30 seconds but not complete the shift.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, if your
transfer case does not shift into four-wheel high, your
transmission indicator switch may require adjustment.
With your transmission in NEUTRAL (N), press and
release the four-wheel high button. While the four-wheel
high indicator light is ashing, shift your transmission
into PARK (P). Wait until the four-wheel high indicator
light remains illuminated before shifting your
transmission into gear. Press the four-wheel high button
again to complete the shift. This will get you into
four-wheel high, but you should take your vehicle in for
service to restore normal operation.
Shifting to NEUTRAL
Use NEUTRAL when you plan to tow your vehicle.
SeeRecreational Vehicle Towing on page 4-50
for towing instructions. To shift the transfer case into
NEUTRAL do the following:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Shift the transmission in NEUTRAL (N), or press in
the clutch for vehicles with a manual transmission.
4. Shift the transfer case to two-wheel high.
5. Press and hold the two-wheel high and four-wheel
low buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. The
NEUTRAL (N) light will come on when the
transfer case shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete.
6. Shift the transmission to REVERSE (R) for one
second, then shift the transmission to DRIVE (D)
for one second, or FIRST (1) for vehicles with
manual transmissions.
7. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
8. Place the transmission shift lever in PARK (P), or
FIRST (1) for vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission.

Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
8(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.
N(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.
6(Low Speed):For steady wiping at low speed,
turn the band away from you to the rst solid position
past the delay settings.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn the
band to the second solid position past the delay settings.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
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
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
QL(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. To spray washer uid on the
windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will clear
the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.

When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake.
SeeParking Brake on page 2-29for more information.
The light will stay on if your parking brake does not
release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is
fully released, it means you have a brake problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push, or the pedal may go closer to the
oor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on,
have the vehicle towed for service. SeeTowing
Your Vehicle on page 4-50.
{CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you
have pulled off the road and stopped carefully,
have the vehicle towed for service.
Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on briey when you
start your engine to show it
is working. Then it will
turn off. This is normal.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you’re driving,
your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake
system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but
you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake
system warning light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock
brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes.
SeeBrake System Warning Light on page 3-28.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briey when you turn the ignition key to ON. If
the light doesn’t come on then, have it xed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.

If the Light is Flashing
The following may prevent more serious damage to
your vehicle:
Reducing vehicle speed
Avoiding hard accelerations
Avoiding steep uphill grades
If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible
If the light stops ashing and remains on steady,
see “If the Light Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to ash, when it is safe to do so,
stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle.
Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart
the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the
Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still ashing,
follow the previous steps, and see your dealer for
service as soon as possible.
If the Light Is On Steady
You may be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle?
If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully
install the cap. SeeFilling Your Tank on page 5-8.
The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing
fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
A few driving trips with the cap properly installed
should turn the light off.
Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water?
If so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition
will usually be corrected when the electrical system
dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off.
