2010 GMC YUKON service indicator

WARNING: (Continued)
If you do not use proper care before and while
backing; vehicle damage, injury, or death could
occur. Even with URPA, always check behind the
vehicle before backing up. While backing, be sure
to look for objects and check the vehicle's mirrors.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into R (Reverse). A single tone sounds to
indicate the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less than
5 mph (8 km/h).
An obstacle is indicated by audible beeps. The interval
between the beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeps are continuous.
To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in)
off the ground and below liftgate level. Objects must
also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rear bumper. This
distance may be less during warmer or humid weather.
The system can be
disabled by pressing the
rear park aid disable
button located next to
the radio.
The indicator light will come on and PARK ASSIST OFF
displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC) to
indicate that URPA is off, see DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 4‑61.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate due to a temporary
condition, the messages PARK ASSIST OFF or PARK
ASST BLOCKED SEE OWNERS MANUAL will be
displayed on the DIC.
SERVICE PARK ASSIST: If this message occurs, take
the vehicle to your dealer to repair the system.
PARK ASSIST OFF: This message occurs if the driver
disables the system.

{WARNING:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the
vehicle is started or comes on while driving, it
means the airbag system might not be working
properly. The airbags in the vehicle might not
inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury, have the
vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag
Driver Information Center (DIC) message can also
come on. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on
page 4‑61for more information.
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
If the vehicle has the airbag status indicator pictured
in the following illustration, then the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the right front passenger
position. The passenger airbag status indicator is on the
overhead console. See Passenger Sensing System
on
page 2‑94for important safety information. In addition, if the vehicle has a passenger sensing
system for the right front passenger position, the label
on the vehicle's sun visors refers to
“ADVANCED
AIRBAGS”.
United StatesCanada
When the vehicle is started, the passenger airbag
status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbols
for on and off, for several seconds as a system check.
If you are using remote start, if equipped, to start the
vehicle from a distance, you may not see the system
check.
Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol
to let you know the status of the right front passenger
frontal airbag.
4-33

If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the right front
passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate).
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front passenger frontal
airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be
a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer for service.
{WARNING:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and
stays on, it means that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right
away. SeeAirbag Readiness Light
on page 4‑32
for more information, including important safety
information.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
United StatesCanada
This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard the vehicle is
working. During a majority of the operation, the gauge
reads 210°F (100°C) or less. If you are pulling a load
or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature to
fluctuate and approach the 250°F (122°C) mark. If the
gauge reaches the 260°F (125°C) mark, it indicates that
the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
See Engine Overheating on page 6‑36.
If the vehicle is a Two-mode Hybrid, see the Two-mode
Hybrid manual for more information.
