2005 GMC ENVOY clock

Accessory Inator
Your vehicle may be equipped with an accessory
inator system. You can inate things like basketballs
and bicycle tires. You can also use it to bring your
tire pressure up to the proper pressure. It is not
designed to inate large objects which will require more
than ve minutes to inate, such as an air mattress.
The accessory inator is
located in the rear
compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle
behind an access cover,
near the liftgate opening.
To remove the cover, push in on the tab to access
the inator.
You may have an air inator kit that is located in the
glove compartment. It includes a 22 ft (6.7 m) hose with
three nozzle adapters.To use the accessory inator, do the following:
1. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter to the end of
the hose if required.
2. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish
to inate.
3. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
4. Press and release the switch to turn the air inator
on. The indicator light will remain on when the
inator is running.
The system has an internal clock to prevent
overheating. The system will allow about ve minutes
of running time, then the compressor will stop. The
indicator light will then begin to ash. When the
indicator is off, the inator can be started again by
pressing the switch. If the compressor is still hot, it
may only run for a short time before shutting
off again.
5. Press and release the switch to turn the inator off.
Place the inator kit tools in the pouch and store it in
its proper location. Remove the inator hose from
the outlet during loading and unloading. Load leveling
will not function with the inator hose attached to
the inator outlet. See “Electronically Controlled Air
Suspension System” underLoading Your Vehicle
