1998 GMC ENVOY reset

Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on
it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the
band on
MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This
can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LO, the shorter the delay. For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further,
to HI. To stop the wipers, move
the band
to the OFF position.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them.
If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen
or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer
symbol at the top
of the multifunction lever. To spray
washer fluid on the windshield, push the paddle. The
wipers
will clear the window and then either stop or
return to your preset speed.
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can
form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
disengages the cruise control. But you don’t need to
reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from
ON to
R/A for about a half
a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at FUA longer than half a second,
the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold the switch at
R/A.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Press the SET button at the end
of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
0 Move the cruise switch from ON to FUA. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch. To increase your speed in
very small amounts, move the switch to
R/A for less
than half a second. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
Press and hold the SET button at the end of the lever
until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press the SET
button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:
1. Find your location on the zone map earlier in this
section. Note your zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the USMET
buttons
in the COMP/TEMP mode.
3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number,
When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.
TRIP: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE
button will step
you through the following
TRIP functions:
0 AVG ECON: The average fuel economy since the
last reset
is displayed.
INST ECON: Instantaneous fuel economy for the
last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE: The display indicates the estimated
distance that can be travelled with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours
of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.
AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last reset
is displayed.

Inflating something too much can make it
explode, and
you or others could be injured. Be
sure to read the inflator instructions, and inflate
any object only to its recommended pressure.
To use your air inflator, attach the appropriate nozzle
adapter, if required, to the end of the hose.
Then attach that end of
the
hose to the object you wish
to inflate. Remove
the
protective cap covering the
outlet. Attach
the other end
of
the hose to the outlet.
Press the
ON switch.
If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown
or installed incorrectly. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don’t
run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time.
If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the air inflator, press OFF and detach the
hose, first from the inflated object, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools
in
the pouch and store it properly.
To replace the cover, line up the tabs at the back of the
cover and put
it in place.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kdh).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed.
If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero, and a label must be put
on
the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To view the trip odometer, press the button near the
readout.
To reset the trip odometer, hold the button until
it resets.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(rpm).
Each tachometer has a different limit depending on the
powertrain in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
The normal operating range shows your engine speed
during normal driving conditions. For example, when
the needle points to
2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all the time that the engine
is running.
The shaded red warning range
tells you that your engine
speed is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long
with the tachometer
in the red warning range. Lift your
foot off
the accelerator pedal.
The solid red danger range tells
you that your engine
speed is at its upper limits. You should immediately
shift to a higher gear, or lift your foot
off the
accelerator pedal.

NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range, or engine damage
will occur.
