2007 BUICK RANDEZVOUS display

Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition, you can turn it to four
different positions.
A (OFF):This is the only position in which you
can remove the key. This position locks the ignition
and transaxle.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break
the key. Use the correct key and turn the key
only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the
way in. If none of this works, then your vehicle
needs service.B (ACCESSORY):This position allows you to use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers
while the engine is off. This position will also allow
you to turn off the engine. Use ACCESSORY if
you must have your vehicle in motion while
the engine is off, for example, if your vehicle is
being pushed or towed.
C (ON):This is the position that the switch
returns to after you start your engine and release
the key. The switch stays in ON when the
engine is running. But even when the engine is
not running, you can use ON to operate your
electrical power accessories, and to display some
instrument panel warning lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACCESSORY or On position with the
engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for
an extended period of time.
D (START):This position starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the key. The ignition
switch will return to ON for normal driving.

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 nished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
and the HUD display
will ash 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 ash. 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 arrow
ashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers will not see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and
check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers
on page 463.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will
ash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb
is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver
know to turn it off.
If you need to leave the signal on for more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it
back on.
178

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high,
push the turn signal lever away from you, then
release it. To change the headlamps from high to
low, pull the lever toward you.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster and the HUD
display, if the vehicle
has this, will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward
you to momentarily turn on the high beams.
This will signal that you are going to pass. When
you release the lever, they will turn off.
Windshield Wipers
WIPERN:Turn the band marked WIPER to
control the windshield wipers.MIST: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 cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer.
Delay:For delayed wiping cycles, 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 time.
LO:For steady wiping cycles at low speed, turn
the band away from you to the LO position.
HI:For high-speed wiping, turn the band away
from you to the HI position.
OFF:To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may
prevent you from seeing well enough to drive
safely. To avoid damage, carefully clear ice and
snow from the wiper blades before using them. If
they are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A
circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Head-Up Display (HUD)
{CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high
in your eld of view, it may take you more
time to see things you need to see when it
is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD
image dim and placed low in your eld
of view.
If your vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD), it
can show the speedometer reading in English
or metric. The current audio system information,
as well as Rear Seat Entertainment system
information, may also be displayed and will appear
as an image focused out toward the front of
your vehicle.The HUD is capable of displaying English or
French. SeeDIC Controls and Displays on
page 236to change the display from English to
metric.
The HUD will display the following lights and
messages when they appear on the instrument
panel cluster:
Turn Signal Indicators. SeeTurn
Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 177.
High-Beam Indicator. SeeHeadlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 179.
Low-Fuel Warning Message. SeeLow Fuel
Warning Message on page 232.
193

The Head-Up Display also displays a CHECK
GAGES message. The following messages could
appear on the instrument panel cluster when
CHECK GAGES appears:
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning. See
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Message on page 227.
Low Oil Pressure. SeeLow Oil Pressure
Message on page 229.
Charging System Indicator. SeeCharging
System Indicator Message on page 228.
Low Brake Fluid Warning. SeeLow Brake
Fluid Warning Message on page 232.
Under warning conditions, the CHECK GAGES
message will illuminate in the HUD. Look at
the instrument panel cluster for more information.Notice:If you try to use the HUD image as a
parking aid, you may misjudge the distance
and damage your vehicle. Do not use the HUD
image as a parking aid.
The HUD controls are
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
When the HUD is on, the speedometer reading will
always be displayed. The current audio system
information will only be displayed for three seconds
after the radio, tape or CD track status changes.
This will happen whenever one of the radio controls
is pressed, either on the radio or on the audio
steering wheel controls, if equipped.
