2007 CHEVROLET KODIAK change time

To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
9(Off):This setting turns the system off.
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel vents.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel vents, then directs the
remaining air to the floor vents. Cooler air is
directed to the upper vents and warmer air to the
floor vents.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the floor vents. Use this mode to send air to
the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the
front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airflow to the rear of the vehicle.
The mode knob can also be used to select the
defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. To increase airflow, turn the knob clockwise.
To decrease airflow, turn it counterclockwise. To
turn the fan off, turn the mode knob on the far right
counterclockwise to the off position.Temperature Knob:Turn the middle knob
located clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature inside of your
vehicle. Turn the knob toward the red area for
warmer air. Turn the knob toward the blue area for
cooler air.
If your vehicle has air conditioning, the controls
will look like this:
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
Vehicles With Air Conditioning

The light will come on momentarily during starting.
If the light fails to come on, have it repaired as
soon as possible so you will be aware when
the lock system is in use.
SeeRear Axle Differential Lock Control on
page 215for more information.
Reduced Engine Power Light
If the check engine and
reduced engine power
lights are on, the
electronic throttle control
may be disabled, and a
noticeable change in the
vehicle’s performance
may occur.
If the reduced engine power light is on, but there
is no change in performance, proceed to your
destination. The performance may be reduced the
next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may
be driven at a slower speed while the reduced
engine power light is on, but acceleration
and speed may be limited.
Anytime the check engine light stays on, the
vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer as
soon as possible for service.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 144.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Indicator Light
This light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster. It goes on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps are on.
SeeDaytime Running Lamps (DRL) on page 151
for more information.
When it begins to get dark, the DRL indicator light
is a reminder to turn on your headlamps.

Air Pressure Gage
If your vehicle has air
brakes, the air pressure
gage is located above
the switchbank in
the center of the
instrument panel.
This gage shows the air pressure for both your
front and rear brake systems.
If the needle on the gage indicates that the air
pressure is below 60 to 75 psi (415 to 517 kPa),
the low air warning light will come on. An alarm will
also sound if this happens.The top pointer shows the pressure available for the
front system, while the bottom pointer shows
pressure for the rear. There should be no more than
4 psi (28 kPa) difference showing between the
systems.
Don’t drive until both pointers are showing at least
120 psi (827 kPa), so you’ll have enough air if
you need to apply your brakes.
Hourmeter Gage
To access the engine hourmeter gage, press the
trip odometer button three times.
The instrument panel cluster displays the
accumulated engine run time hours using the
reconfigurable odometer display. The engine run
time hours displays only when the ignition is in the
LOCK or ACCESSORY position and the trip
reset button is pressed for about four seconds.
The value of the accumulated hours does
not change when the battery is disconnected.
The hourmeter resets to 0.0 when 10,000 hours
are accumulated. The instrument panel cluster
begins to reaccumulate the engine run time hours
from 0.0 hours.

Adjusting the Speakers (Balance/Fade)
AUDIO:To adjust the balance between the right
and the left speakers, press and release AUDIO
until BAL (balance) appears on the display. Then
press and hold the up or the down arrow to move
the sound toward the right or the left speakers.
To adjust the fade between the front and the rear
speakers, press and release AUDIO until FAD
(fade) appears on the display. Then press and hold
the up or the down arrow to move the sound toward
the front or the rear speakers.
To adjust balance or fade to the middle position,
select BAL or FAD. Then press and hold AUDIO for
more than two seconds until you hear a beep.
L (balance) and a zero or F and a zero appears on
the display.
To adjust both tone controls and both speaker
controls to the middle position, end out of audio by
waiting for the display to change to the time display.
Then press and hold AUDIO for more than
two seconds until you hear a beep. CEN (center)
appears on the display.
Fade may not be available if the vehicle is a regular
cab model.
Radio Messages
CAL (Calibration):The audio system has been
calibrated for your vehicle from the factory. If
CAL appears on the display it means that the radio
has not been configured properly for your vehicle
and must be returned to your dealer for service.
LOC (Locked):This message is displayed when
the THEFTLOCK
®system has locked up. Take
the vehicle to your dealer for service.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your dealer.
Playing a Cassette Tape
The tape player is built to work best with tapes
that are up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side.
Tapes longer than that are so thin they may not
work well in this player. The longer side with
the tape visible should face to the right. If you hear
nothing or hear a garbled sound, the tape may
not be in squarely. Press the eject button to
remove the tape and start over.

Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most
vehicle washes without being damaged. If the mast
should ever become slightly bent, straighten it
out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is
still tightened to the fender. If tightening is
required, tighten by hand, then with a wrench
one quarter turn.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime
level. To change the volume level of the chime,
press and hold pushbutton 6 with the ignition on
and the radio power off. The volume level will
change from the normal level to loud, and HI will
appear on the radio display. To change back to the
default or normal setting, press and hold
pushbutton 6 again. The volume level will change
from the loud level to normal, and LO will appear on
the radio display. Each time the chime volume is
changed, three chimes will sound as an example of
the new volume selected. Removing the radio and
not replacing it with a factory radio or chime module
will disable vehicle chimes.

ABS can change the brake pressure faster than
any driver could. The computer is programmed
to make the most of available tire and road
conditions. This can help you steer around the
obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving
updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.Remember: ABS does not change the time you
need to get your foot up to the brake pedal
or always decrease stopping distance. If you get
too close to the vehicle in front of you, you will not
have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough
room up ahead to stop, even though you
have ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal
down firmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may
feel the brakes pulsate, or you may hear air
exhausting if you have air brakes, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you
more than even the very best braking.
213

To turn the system on
or off, press the traction
control button located
on the instrument panel.
If you used the TCS button to turn the system off,
the light in the top of the button will come on and
stay on. You can turn the TCS back on at any time
by pressing the button again; the light should go off.Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the
engine stops or the system is not functioning,
you can steer but it will take much more effort.
On vehicles with hydraulic brakes, the power
steering and main hydraulic brake system both use
the power steering pump. SeeBraking on page 210.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned
on the news happen on curves. Here is why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is
subject to the same laws of physics when driving on
curves. The traction of the tires against the road
surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change
its path when you turn the front wheels. If there is
no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in the
same direction. If you have ever tried to steer a
vehicle on wet ice, you will understand this.

•When it looks like a chance to pass is coming
up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane
and do not get too close. Time your move so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes
to move into the other lane. If the way is clear to
pass, you will have a running start that more
than makes up for the distance you would lose
by dropping back. And if something happens to
cause you to cancel your pass, you need only
slow down and drop back again and wait for
another opportunity.
•If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle,
wait your turn. But take care that someone is
not trying to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle.
•Check your vehicle’s mirrors and start the left
lane change signal before moving out of the
right lane to pass. When you are far enough
ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in
your vehicle’s passenger side outside mirror,
activate the right lane change signal and move
back into the right lane. Remember that, if your
vehicle’s right outside mirror is convex, the
vehicle you just passed may seem to be further
away from you than it really is.
•Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time
on two-lane roads. Reconsider before passing
the next vehicle.
•Do not overtake a slowly moving vehicle too
rapidly. Even though the brake lamps are not
flashing, it may be slowing down or starting
to turn.
•If you are being passed, make it easy for the
following driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps
you can ease a little to the right.
Loss of Control
Let us review what driving experts say about what
happens when the three control systems — brakes,
steering, and acceleration — do not have enough
friction where the tires meet the road to do what the
driver has asked.
In any emergency, do not give up. Keep trying to
steer and constantly seek an escape route or
area of less danger.
