2007 GMC YUKON XL steering

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off
the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it.
Once you are driving about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, press the +RES button on your steering
wheel. The vehicle will go back to the previous set
speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
To increase the cruise speed while using cruise
control:
Press and hold the +RES button on the
steering wheel until you reach your new
desired speed, then release it.
To increase vehicle speed in small increments,
press the +RES button. Each time you do this,
you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Press and hold the SET– button on the
steering wheel until the desired lower speed
is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press
the SET– button on the steering wheel
briey. Each time you do this, the vehicle will
go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills
depends upon your speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain
the vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, you may
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle’s speed down. Of course, applying the
brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers
nd this to be too much trouble and do not use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press the cancel button on the steering wheel.
Press the On/Off button on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamps
control is located on the
instrument panel to
the left of the steering
wheel.
It controls the following systems:
Headlamps
Taillamps
Parking Lamps
License Plate Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
The exterior lamps control has four positions:
9(Off):Turn the control to this position
and release to turn off the automatic headlamps
and daytime running lamps (DRL). Turning
the headlamp control to the off position again will
turn the automatic headlamps or DRL back on.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada, the off position
will only work for vehicles that are shifted into
the PARK (P) position.
199

The DRL and automatic headlamp system will only
be affected when the light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take approximately one minute for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
bright enough outside. During that delay, your
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 203.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, turn the control to the off position.
You may be able to turn off your Automatic
Headlamp System. SeeDaytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 201for more information.
Your headlamps will also stay on after you exit the
vehicle. You can program this feature using the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 264.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle is equipped with
fog lamps, it is located on the instrument panel to
the left of the steering column. The fog lamps
button is located below the dome lamp override
button.
Your ignition must be in RUN for the fog lamps to
illuminate.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the fog lamps
button. A light will come on in the instrument panel
cluster to let you know that the fog lamps are on.
Press the button again to turn the fog lamps off.
The ignition must be in RUN and the parking
lamps must be on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamps will go off while you change
to high-beam headlamps.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
