Automatic Headlamp System - GMC Yukon 2007 Owner's Manual

The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
•
The transmission is not in PARK (P).
•
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will
be on. The taillamps, sidemarker, and other lamps
will not be on. The instrument panel will not be
lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic
headlamp system will switch from DRL to the
headlamps.
To turn off the DRL lamps, turn the exterior lamps
control to the OFF position and then release.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the transaxle
must be in the PARK (P) position, before the DRL
lamps can be turned off.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.

Automatic Headlamp System

When it is dark enough outside, the automatic
headlamp system will turn on the headlamps at the
normal brightness, along with the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, and the instrument
panel lights. The radio lights will also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn
the exterior lamps switch to the off position
and then release. For vehicles first sold in Canada,
the transaxle must be in the PARK (P) position,
before the automatic headlamp system can
be turned off.
The vehicle has a light sensor located on the top
of the instrument panel in the defroster grille
that regulates when the automatic headlamps turn
on. Be sure it is not covered, or the headlamps
will come on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
