Head-Up Display (HUD)
{Warning
If the HUD image is too bright or too
high in your field of view, it may take
you more time to see things you need to
see when it is dark outside. Be sure to
keep the HUD image dim and placed low
in your field of view.
If equipped, some vehicle information can be
projected as an image on the windshield via
the HUD lens on top of the instrument
panel.
Caution
If you try to use the HUD image as a
parking aid, you may misjudge the
distance and damage your vehicle. Do not
use the HUD image as a parking aid. HUD information can be displayed in various
languages. The speedometer reading and
other numerical values can be displayed in
either English or metric units.
The language selection is changed through
the radio, and the units of measurement are
changed through the infotainment display.
See
Settings 0135.
HUD Display on the Windshield
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped,
the HUD may display some of the following
vehicle information and vehicle messages or
alerts:

Navigation turn-by-turn Alerts shown in the
instrument cluster may also be displayed in
any HUD view.
Care of the HUD
Clean the inside of the windshield to remove
any dirt or film that could reduce the
sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. Clean the HUD lens with a soft cloth
sprayed with glass cleaner. Wipe the lens
gently, then dry it.

.Nothing is covering the HUD lens.
.The HUD brightness setting is not too
dim or too bright.
.The HUD is adjusted to the proper height.

Beams when the headlights are set in the
Auto position.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high beams
when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears on the
instrument cluster when the high beams
are on.
There is a sensor near the top center of the
windshield that automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best system
performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
.The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
GMC Canyon/Canyon Denali Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/
Mexico-16510661) - 2023 - CRC - 12/6/22
110 Lighting
.The system detects a preceding vehicle's
taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle windshield is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on winding or
hilly roads. The automatic high-beam headlamps may
need to be disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.
Exterior Lamps Off Reminder

that you want to pass. It works even if the
headlamps are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward
you, then release it.
If the headlamps are in the automatic
position or on low beam, the high-beam

Automatic Headlamp System
When the exterior lamp control is set to
Auto and it is dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on automatically. See
Exterior Lamp Controls0109.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor,
otherwise the headlamps will come on when
they are not needed. The system may also turn on the headlamps
when driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL). During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination

When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will turn off or may change
to DRL.
The automatic headlamp system turns off
when the exterior lamp control is set to On
or the vehicle is off.
Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are activated in
daylight with the vehicle on and the exterior
lamp control is set to Auto, the headlamps,
parking lamps, and other exterior lamps

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument cluster flashes
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Move the turn signal lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever for less than
one second until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. This causes the turn
signals to automatically flash three times.
Holding the turn signal lever for more than
one second will cause the turn signals to
flash until the lever is released.
The lever returns to its starting position
whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane change the
arrows flash rapidly or do not come on, a
signal bulb could be burned out.
Replace any burned out bulbs. If a bulb is
not burned out, check the fuse. SeeFuses
and Circuit Breakers 0277. Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than
1.2 km (0.75 mi), a chime sounds at each
flash of the turn signal. The message TURN
SIGNAL ON will also appear in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). To turn the chime
and message off, move the turn signal lever
to the off position.Fog Lamps
The Fog Lamps control is in the Controls App
on the infotainment home screen. Select
Controls > Lights.

when the fog lamps are on.
If the fog lamps are turned on while the
exterior lamp control is set to Auto, the
lamps come on automatically.
The vehicle and the parking lamps or
headlamps must be on for the fog lamps
to work.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog
lamps. Fog lamps should only be used in foggy or
misty conditions to allow the drivers behind
you to see your vehicle.
Off-Road Lamps (AT4X Only)
If equipped, this button includes wiring
provisions for a dealer or a qualified service
center to install electrical accessories, such
as Off-Road lamps.
The button on the center stack activates the
accessory.
When the wiring is connected to Off-Road
lamps, pressing the button will activate the
lamps.
For information on installation, see
www.gmupfitter.com or contact your dealer.
