Random Yukon Trick

[eandj23]

The other i was driving on the highway (in the middle lane). The idiot in front of me was driving slow so i went to pass in the fast lane. Just as i started to push my turn signal i saw my exit was next so i switched my turn signal to go to the right. When i did that i noticed that my turn signal stayed clicking left. My first thought was that i messed up my turn signal electronics, but then i noticed that it was supposed to do that (or that is what i am assuming).

Basically, if you press your turn signal down partially (to the point right before it clicks into position) and release, it will flash for a turn 3 or 4 times.

At first i thought this was awkward but now I love it. When i need to switch lanes and dont want to hold the lever up/down, or click it all the way, i can just press it half way, release, and move my hand back to the wheel to change lanes.

Like the title says "random" but to some extent it shows that GM is looking into minor convienience items for the consumer instead of building cars like track homes.

I havent seen anything else posted on this so I dont know if this works on Tahoe's or if my car is just trippin but to make sure, let me know if you have the same thing.

Most vehicles do this, it is really helpful i will agree.

By "most vehicles" I assume you mean most new"ish" vehicles, right? See I am coming off of my old 1994 Yukon. Loved the old lady but she wasnt very technology savvy :)

When i got my my new lady, it was like being a child all over again. All the buttons and gadgets that i never had before...haha

What's really cool is this. Turn on the blinker and then take off driving w/o your seat belt. Don't kill yourself. When the chime comes on for the belt, the clicking sound for the blinker is eliminated while the chimes are on. However, the blinker still blinks. So the click for the turn signal is all fake.

Its all on what we call the Gm lan. Every chime or warning comes through the driver speaker. its been this way for years.

does this in the 07 tahoe i didnt make a big deal out of it i thought all the 200+ cars was doing it so i kinda stayed hush its a real useful tool too i just slide my left hand down and use a finger and just flicc it. I LOVE IT..

Just to add, when in tow mode, this feature extends to six blinks. Normally three in normal mode. I love it when towing the boat.

So GM started this in 2007?

Yup. Vette does it too. But I have been told its been on the vette since 05. I really think Gm started it on any vehicle that got a new style. IE 05, corvette got it, 07 tahoe got it, etc .
