2006 CHEVROLET KODIAK turn signal

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
•Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
•Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
•Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-4.
•If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m)
away using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
To unlock the driver’s
door, press the UNLOCK
button once.
If you press the button again within five seconds, all of
the doors will unlock. When the UNLOCK button is
pressed, the interior dome lamps are turned on for about
40 seconds or until the ignition switch is activated.
Press the LOCK button to lock all doors.

Hazard Warning Flashers
The hazard warning flashers warn others. They also let
police know you have a problem. Your front and rear
turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
The hazard warning
flasher button is
located on top of the
steering column.
The hazard warning flashers work no matter what
ignition position the key is in, and even if the key is not
in the ignition.
Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal
lamps flash on and off. Press the button again to
turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn
signals will not work.
Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set them up at
the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind
your vehicle.
Horn
Sound the horn by pushing the center of the steering
wheel. If you have the optional air horn, it is controlled
by a cord that you will find up above and to the left
of the driver. The harder you pull on the cord, the louder
the air horn will sound. The air horn works only after
your air brake system pressure gets up to about 115 psi
(790 kPa). The air horn will work properly unless the
air brake system pressure drops below 60 psi (415 kPa).

Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can raise it to the highest level to
give your legs more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is
located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever. Then
move the wheel to a comfortable position and release
the lever to lock the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever located on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
•Turn and Lane-Change Signals. SeeTurn and
Lane-Change Signals on page 3-8.
•Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. SeeHeadlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
•Windshield Wipers. SeeWindshield Wipers on
page 3-9.
•Windshield Washer. SeeWindshield Washer on
page 3-10.
•Cruise Control (Option). SeeCruise Control on
page 3-10.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return
automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
don’t flash but just stay on, check the turn signal flasher
and circuit breaker. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers
on page 5-93.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a
turn, check the circuit breaker and for burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam or
high to low beam, pull the multifunction lever all the way
toward you, then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be on.

position turns on the parking lamps, together with the
following:
•Marker Lamps

by pulling the turn signal/multifunction lever toward
you. Pull the lever toward you again to return to
low beam.
A circuit breaker protects your headlamps. If you have
an electrical overload, your headlamps will flicker on and
off. Have your headlamp wiring checked right away if
this ever happens.
