Windshield Wipers - GMC Yukon Denalid Owner's Manual

Windshield Wipers

Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to
the windshield, gently loosen or thaw them.
Damaged wiper blades may not clear the
windshield well, making it harder to see and
drive safely. If the blades do become damaged,
install new blades or blade inserts. For more
information, see Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 478.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it
cools down. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an
overload.
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
196
(Mist): For a single wiping cycle, turn the
8
band to mist. Hold it there until the wipers start.
Then let go. The wipers will stop after one wipe.
If you want more wipe cycles, hold the band
on mist longer.
(Delay): You can set the wiper speed for a long
or short delay between wiping cycles. This
can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the
band to choose the delay time. The closer to
the top of the lever, the shorter the delay.
(Low Speed): For steady wiping at low
6
speed, turn the band away from you to the
first solid band past the delay settings.
(High Speed): For high-speed wiping, turn
1
the band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
(Off): To stop the wipers, move the band
9
to off.
