2007 CHEVROLET KODIAK light

Your truck, when new, did not include tire changing
equipment or a place to store a tire in the
vehicle. Few drivers of these vehicles have the
necessary equipment aboard to be able to change
a flat tire safely. For example, you would need
a truck jack that can lift several thousand pounds
and a torque wrench that can generate several
hundred foot-pounds (
Y) of twisting force.
{CAUTION:
If you try to put air back into a tire that
has run at, even a tire that was extremely
low on air, the tire can have a sudden
air-out. This could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle and have a serious
crash. Do not rell a at or very low tire
with air without rst having the tire taken
off the wheel and checked for damage.
So if you are stopped somewhere by a flat or
damaged tire or wheel, you should get expert help.
SeeRoadside Assistance Program on page 408.
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.

Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit
breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload
will cause the lights to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker inside the motor and a circuit
breaker or fuse in the fuse block. If the motor
overheats, the wipers will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by an electrical
problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge
sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt
in an overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible
links. The size is printed on the insulation. If the
insulation is burned beyond recognition, consult
your dealer for the proper size. Replace a fusiblelink with one of the same size and insulation type.
Fusible link insulation is a special purpose
high-temperature material.
Some examples of circuits with fusible links are
the hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit, the
generator output circuit, and the intake heater
feed circuit in vehicles with a diesel engine.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens.
This protects the circuit until the current load returns
to normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit
breakers, maxi-fuses and fusible links. This greatly
reduces the chance of a fire caused by an electrical
problem. There may be a fuse taped to the wiring
harness near the hydraulic brake booster.

•Replace the air compressor filter element,
mounted on the air compressor. For remote
air compressor intake service, refer to engine
air cleaner filter replacement.
•Remove, disassemble, clean, and inspect the
safety valve, service brake chambers, quick
release valves, quick release/double check
valve combinations, parking brake control
valve, double check valves, pressure
protection valves, and ether injector
(if equipped).
•Remove, disassemble, and clean the
application valve; replace parts showing wear.
•Remove, disassemble, clean, and inspect
the spring brake control valve; replace
rubber parts.
(33)= Clean and lubricate air brake automatic
slack adjuster. Check pushrod travel and
auto adjustment operation. Have serviced
if needed.(34)= Air brake chamber service: Check operation,
mounting clamps, and air lines and check for leaks.
(35)= Trailer brake hand control valve service:
Check operation; lubricate cam and follower.
(36)= Tighten the wheel stud nuts to the specified
torque values at 100 miles (160 km). Thereafter,
tighten them 1,000 miles (1 600 km) after each
time the wheel is removed. SeeTightening
the Wheel Nuts on page 325.
(37)= Inspect and clean any accumulated dirt,
gravel, or other foreign objects from the valves and
valve boots as needed. Using light oil, lubricate
brake pedal to brake application valve linkage
components. Check any rubber boots for cracks,
holes, or deterioration and replace if necessary.

At Least Twice a Year
Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light (if
equipped) and all your belts, buckles, latch plates,
retractors, and anchorages are working properly.
Look for any other loose or damaged safety
belt system parts. If you see anything that might
keep a safety belt system from doing its job,
have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety
belts replaced.
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace
blade inserts that appear worn or damaged or
that streak or miss areas of the windshield. Also
seeWindshield and Wiper Blades on page 336.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them
last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.
Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth. During
very cold, damp weather more frequent application
may be required. Part C tells you what to use.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all exposed surfaces such as door
checks, door lock bolts, lock strike plates, door
hinge bushings, latches, and dovetail bumper
wedges. Where oil holes are provided, a dripless
oil can be used. The seat adjusters, seat track,
door weatherstrips, and rubber cap bumpers
should also be lubricated. Part C tells you what to
use. More frequent lubrication may be required
when exposed to a corrosive environment.
Parking Brake Check
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with
the parking brake only. This checks holding ability.
392

Lamps Check
Check panel lighting, warning lights, indicator
lights, and interior lamps. On the outside,
check: license plate lamps, sidemarker lamps,
reflectors or lights on outside mirrors, headlamps,
parking lamps, identification and clearance
lamps, taillamps, brake lamps, turn signals,
backup lamps, and hazard warning flashers.
Have headlamp aim checked at once if beams
seem improperly aimed.
Glass, Mirrors, Lamps and/or
Reectors Condition Check
Look for broken, scratched, dirty, or damaged
glass, mirrors, lamps, or reflectors that could
reduce the view or visibility or cause injury.
Replace, clean or repair promptly.
Door Latches Check
Check that doors close, latch, and lock tightly.
Check for broken, damaged, or missing parts that
might prevent tight latching.
Hood Latches Check
Check that the hood closes firmly. Check for
broken, damaged, loose, or missing parts
that might prevent tight latching. Make sure the
secondary latch (if equipped) keeps the hood
from opening all the way when the primary latch
is released.
Fluid Leaks Check
Check for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after
it has been parked for awhile.
