2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE climate settings

Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change
the position of the throttle and brake pedals.
This feature is designed for shorter drivers, since
the pedals cannot move farther away from the
standard position, but can move toward the driver
for better pedal reach.
The switch used to
adjust the pedals is
located on the
instrument panel below
the climate control
system.
Press the arrow at the bottom of the switch to
move the pedals closer to your body. Press
the arrow at the top of the switch to move the
pedals away from your body.No adjustment to the pedals can be made when
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) or while using
the cruise control.
Your vehicle may have a memory function which
allows pedal settings to be saved and recalled.
SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 13
for more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.

Dual Automatic Climate Control
System
With this system, you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation in your vehicle. Your
vehicle also has a ow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
You can select different climate control settings for
the driver and passengers.
Driver’s Side Temperature Control
The driver’s side temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the air coming through
the system on the driver’s side. The temperature
can be adjusted even if the system is turned
off. This is possible since outside air will always
ow through the system as the vehicle is moving
forward unless it is set to recirculation mode.
See “Recirculation” later in this section.
Press the + or−buttons to increase or decrease
the cabin temperature. The driver side
temperature display will show the temperature
setting decreasing or increasing.

2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 74°F
(23°C) temperature setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to regulate. Use the
driver’s or passenger’s temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If
you choose the temperature setting of 60°F
(15°C), the system will remain at the maximum
cooling setting. If you choose the temperature
setting of 90°F (32°C), the system will remain
at the maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the solar sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor regulates air temperature
based on sun load and also turns on your
headlamps. For more information on the solar
sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section.To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the
system will delay turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The length of delay depends on
the engine coolant temperature. Pressing the fan
switch will override this delay and change the
fan to a selected speed.
O(On/Off):Press this button to turn off the
climate control system. Outside air will still enter
the vehicle, and will be directed to the oor.
This direction can be changed by pressing the
mode button. Recirculation can be selected once
you have selected vent or bi-level mode. The
temperature can also be adjusted using either
temperature button. If you adjust the air delivery
mode or temperature settings with the system
off, the display will illuminate briey to show you
the settings and then return off. Press the
on/off button or the up down arrows on the fan
switch, the defrost button, AUTO button, or the air
conditioning button to turn the system on when
it is off.

Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
System
If your vehicle has this system, the rear controls
are three knobs located in the headliner. The
system can be controlled from the front controls
as well as the rear controls.
To turn the system on, press the AUX button on
the front climate control system, an indicator will be
lit. Pressing the AUX button the rst time will
turn the rear system on in a mimic mode. In this
mode, the airow in the rear will be approximately
the same direction, temperature, and fan speed
as the front. Pressing the AUX button again
will turn the rear system and the indicator off.
If the rear controls are adjusted, the system will
enter a rear independent mode. Airow in the rear
will then be directed according to the settings of
rear controls. The rear system can be turned off by
pressing the AUX button on the front climate
control system and the indicator will turn off.
Fan Knob
Turn the left knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed. Turn
the knob all the way counterclockwise to turn the
rear system off.
Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you
select the temperature of the air owing into the
passenger area. Turn the knob clockwise
toward the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob
counterclockwise toward the blue area for
cooler air.
239

Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery.
H(Vent):This setting directs the air through the
headliner outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is delivered through the oor
outlets as well as the headliner outlets. The
rear system oor outlets are located directly behind
the second row seats. The ow can be divided
between vent and oor outlets depending
upon where the knob is placed between the
settings.
6(Floor):This setting directs most of the air
through the oor outlets. The rear system
oor outlets are located directly behind the second
row seats.
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
System and Electronic Climate
Controls
If your vehicle has this system, the rear heat and
air conditioning controls are integrated with the
rear seat audio controls located in the center
console. The system can be controlled from the
front controls as well as the rear controls.
To turn the system on, press the AUX button on
the front climate control system, an indicator will be
lit. Pressing the AUX button the rst time will
turn the rear system on in a mimic mode. In this
mode, the airow in the rear will be approximately
the same direction, temperature, and fan speed
as the front. Pressing the AUX button again
will turn the rear system and the indicator off.
If the rear controls are adjusted, the system will
enter a rear independent mode. Airow in the rear
will then be directed according to the settings of
rear controls. The rear system can be turned off by
pressing the AUX button on the front climate
control system and the indicator will turn off.
If the indicator in the front AUX button is off, the
rear system is off.
