CONFIDENCE COMES FROM WITHIN.
From your first drive, you can tell yukon is solidly in your corner. it is engineered
with multiple safety features that help you before, during and, thanks to
onstar, even after a collision. yukon's active safety systems help you avoid
trouble, while its passive systems protect you if a crash occurs. it all works
together to give you the security you need to use its capabilities to the fullest.
s i D e b l i n D Z o n e a l e r t
in addition to standard safety systems such as stabilitrak and antilock brakes,
yukon is available with side blind Zone alert (sbZa). it uses alternating
radar beams to sweep adjacent traffic lanes, covering a zone approximately
one lane over from each side of the vehicle.

yukon is engineered with dual-stage front air bags that feature the passenger
sensing system. the system uses a sensor within the front passenger seat
to detect the weight and position of an occupant. Depending on its readings,
it can automatically deactivate the air bag, or choose the proper low- or
high-level deployment to help reduce the risk of air-bag-induced injury.
to help protect you in a rollover or side-impact crash, yukon has head curtain
side-impact air bags with rollover protection. they function like a protective
curtain, unfolding from the roof rail on each side. activated by side-impact
and rollover sensors, each curtain includes air bag sections for all outboard
passengers. all models except yukon hybrid (but including the yukon Denali
hybrid) also include side-impact air bags to provide thorax (chest) and pelvic
(hip) protection for both the driver and front seat passenger.

now, you can get the help
you need even if you can't
ask for it. in the event of
a crash, sensors around
your vehicle can auto-
matically send an alert to
onstar. an onstar advisor
is immediately connected
to your vehicle to see if
you need help. if you are
unable to respond, the
advisor will use gps tech-
a dedicated amber icon next

exact location to direct
emergency help — even in
areas of limited cellular

reception. the advisor can
also relay critical crash
information to emergency
responders, such as the
severity and type of crash,
so the responders are bet-
ter equipped to treat you
at the scene.
Before making a lane change, always check

bag when it deploys. Always use safety belts
and the correct restraint for your child's age
and size. Even in vehicles equipped with
the Passenger Sensing System, children are
safer when properly secured in a rear seat in
the appropriate infant, child or booster seat.
Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in
the front seat of any vehicle equipped with a
passenger air bag. See the Owner's Manual
and child safety seat instructions for more
safety information.
