2007 GMC YUKON XL cruise control

Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change
the position of the throttle and brake pedals.
The switch used to
adjust the pedals is
located on the center
console below the
climate control system.
Press the arrow at the bottom of the switch to
move the pedals closer to your body. Press
the arrow at the top of the switch to move the
pedals away from your body.
This feature is designed for shorter drivers, since
the pedals can not move farther away from
the standard position, but can move toward the
driver for better pedal reach.No adjustment to the pedals can be made when
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) or while using
the cruise control.
Your vehicle may have a memory function which
allows pedal settings to be saved and recalled.
SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on
page 13for more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the
coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle may
also have an internal thermostat in the plug end of
the cord. This will prevent operation of the engine
coolant heater when the temperature is at or above
0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.

Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed
of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, cruise control
is turned off.If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak
®™ system and
begins to limit wheel spin while you are using
cruise control, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. SeeStabiliTrak
®System on
page 348. When road conditions allow you to
safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control
back on.
The cruise control
buttons are located on
left side of the
steering wheel.
T(On/Off):This button can both activate and
turn off the system. The indicator light is on
when cruise control is on and turns off when cruise
control is off.
196

+ RES (Resume/Accelerate):Press this button
to make the vehicle accelerate or resume to
a previously set speed.
SET−(Set):Press this button to set the speed or
make the vehicle decelerate.
[(Cancel):Press this button to cancel cruise
control without erasing the set speed from
memory.
Setting Cruise Control
Cruise control will not work if your parking brake is
set, or if the master cylinder brake uid level is low.
The cruise control light on the instrument panel
cluster will come on after the cruise control
has been set to the desired speed.
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when
you are not using cruise, you might hit a
button and go into cruise when you do
not want to. You could be startled and
even lose control. Keep the cruise control
switch off until you want to use cruise
control.
1. Press the cruise control On/Off button.
2. Get up to the desired speed you want.
3. Press the SET−button located on the steering
wheel and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator.
197

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.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, your
vehicle will slow down to the previous set cruise
speed.
198

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.
