At GMC we make sure that every year the Yukon is ready to satisfy even the most technology savvy customers and their families." The 2017 Yukon models are equipped with a full suite of Driver Alert and active safety technologies that rely on a sophisticated network of cameras, radars and ultrasonic sensors adding layers of crash-avoidance protection, plus enhanced occupant protection in the event of a crash. The Yukon's Enhanced Driver Alert Package boasts Lane Assist helping steer drivers back to their lane in the case of inadvertently leaving their lane. Moreover, the package offers drivers with Intellibeam headlamp technology, which automatically turns the vehicle's high beam on or off according to the surrounding traffic conditions. The GM-patented Safety Alert Seat vibrates if the system determines that a driver is at risk of colliding with another vehicle, and a standard rear vision camera shows the area immediately behind the vehicle, which is especially helpful when reversing in and out of tight spots. Additional standard and available driver alert technologies include: Side Blind Zone Alert Rear Cross Traffic Alert Forward Collision Alert Adaptive Cruise Control with Front Automatic Braking Furthermore, when it comes to design, the 2017 Yukon is available in a new exterior color, the Dark Sapphire Blue Metallic and the interior offers drivers and passenger heated and cooled front seats, which are now standard on the SLT. — SG
