2007 CHEVROLET KODIAK CD changer

Stopping the Diesel Engine
1. Set the parking brake and shift to
NEUTRAL (N) or PARK (P).
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF.
If your vehicle has a two-speed axle, see
Two-Speed Rear Axle Electric Shift Control on
page 113.
If you have a Caterpillar
®diesel engine, see your
Caterpillar®Diesel Engine Operation &
Maintenance Manual for additional information.
Diesel Engine Warm-Up
Several factors affect how quickly your diesel
engine warms up. These can include outside
temperature, engine load, idle time and your
vehicle’s option content. Your vehicle may be
equipped with some features that can help
the engine reach operating temperature sooner.
Some of these features are discussed below.Also, remember that an automatic transmission
adds heat to the cooling system through the heat
exchanger in the radiator. Because of this,
vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions
are often able to retain engine coolant heat better
than manual transmission vehicles.
See your Caterpillar
®Operation & Maintenance
manual for additional diesel engine warm-up
information.
If Your Diesel Engine Will Not Start
If you have run out of fuel, seeRunning Out of
Fuel on page 262.
If you are not out of fuel, and your engine will not
start, do this:
Turn your ignition key to RUN. Immediately after
the wait to start light goes off, turn the ignition key
to START.
If the light does not go off, wait a few seconds, then
try starting your engine again. And, see your dealer
as soon as you can for a starting system check.
If the light comes on and then goes off and you
know your batteries are charged, but your engine
still will not start, your vehicle needs service.

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 341.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.

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.
