This is one of the stupidest button placements in the 2022 Sierra. Is there a way to re-map buttons?

I'm talking about the "Auto Highbeam" push button on the turn signal stalk. I wish it was a "quick wipe" push button to activate the wipers once. I mean how often are people turning the auto-highbeams on or off? Either you leave this on or off. However I'm constantly having to twist the stalk end for the 1X wipe.

 

Is there a way to re-map or switch/swap these buttons? It's quite often that reach for the push button hoping for a wipe. On my Ford, this is actually a wipe button. And there is no auto highbeam on/off button as it is an option in the settings.

I bet you get used to it and won't even think about it. 

 

On the positive side is the same hand location as for adjusting intermittent setting.

Wiper functions should have been a separate stalk on the right side of the column for the console shifter trucks. 
 

The auto high beam button is no big deal. The trailer brake controller behind the console shifter on at4/Denali and the giant stupid all windows down button on the center stack are way dumber

I don't know if I will, as I switch between both Ford and GM.

 

I usually don't mess with the wiper setting too much either as I leave the setting on Auto. And if I need a wipe in between, then I just use the quick wipe button.

 

But on this I always have to move the wiper switch from whichever setting its at, all the way to the bottom and twist it for a quick wipe then rotate the switch back all the way back to where it was. Seems pretty stupid in my opinion.

 

I'm new to GM, so maybe the GM customers are already used to it. But I would love to be able to remap the button.

My dad was a GM employee so I've only had GM vehicles so the clockwise 1x wipe is second nature. The exception was the Geo Metro 3-banger, 5-speed I learned sick on. That POS didn't even have intermittent wipers.

Uh, no.  Its not a PC game where you can just re-map controls.  

 

GM has had the quick wipe twist for a LONG time.

GM ergonomics aren't quite what they used to be...

My 15 is terrible: 

Seat climate controls hidden behind shifter

Dash vents situated to either freeze your hands off or blow anywhere else but on you

Dash taller than everest

Seats as low as a Tacoma

Sliding rear window control makes no sense

 

Definitely gonna be more aware of these things on my next truck - at least with GMC vs Chevy you can get some different dash layouts that might better suit different drivers.

Since this is the complaint thread. When I take any vehicle in to any dealer they turn off the auto headlights and move the seat. Your only going a few feet just leave it alone. The Honda seat moves back according to the fob. Otherwise put it back. And leave the radio alone. The guy at the dealership that washes the car after service leave the radio alone. Put the dimmer switch back on the floor. I almost break the clicker stick when someone flashes me at the last minute when I’m going up a slight incline. The engineers who designed the stupid headlights should be fired. And auto wipers. In my area it’s pretty humid. Every once in awhile even on a clear day on they go. Talk about startling. I drove my son’s old Tahoe once. I started getting a half as$ cheek massage getting close to the center line. Once I recovered I went to the right. Yup as I thought right cheek. The grandkids thought I was nuts. I was lucky I wasn’t pulled over for swerving. I was enjoying the massage. Totally useless otherwise.

Have you tried moving the switch to the next position "up" for the "quick wipe" then back to the previous?

That would work.

 

So would tapping the windshield washer button.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
