2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Owner ManualM

How to Use This Manual
Many people read the owner manual from
beginning to end when they rst receive their new
vehicle. If this is done, it can help you learn
about the features and controls for the vehicle.
Pictures and words work together in the
owner manual to explain things.
Index
A good place to quickly locate information about
the vehicle is the Index in the back of the manual.
It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual
and the page number where it can be found.
Safety Warnings and Symbols
There are a number of safety cautions in this
book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to
tell about things that could hurt you if you were to
ignore the warning.
{CAUTION:
These mean there is something that could
hurt you or other people.
In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is.
Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or
reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions.
If you do not, you or others could be hurt.
You will also nd a
circle with a slash
through it in this book.
This safety symbol
means “Do Not,” “Do
Not do this” or “Do Not
let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something
that could damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage
the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
The vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along
with the text describing the operation or
information relating to a specic component,
control, message, gage, or indicator.
If you need help guring out a specic name of a
component, gage, or indicator, reference the
following topics:
Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1
Features and Controls in Section 2
Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3
Climate Controls in Section 3
Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in
Section 3
Audio System(s) in Section 3
Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5

Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on, and
ash the hazard warning ashers when the airbags
inate. You can lock the doors again, turn the
interior lamps off, and turn off the hazard warning
ashers by using the controls for those features.
In many crashes severe enough to inate the
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front passenger airbag.
Airbags are designed to inate only once. After
an airbag inates, you will need some new
parts for your airbag system. If you do not get
them, the airbag system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for your vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Recording and
Privacy on page 555andEvent Data
Recorders on page 556.
Let only qualied technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer/retailer for service.

{CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the
transmission is in PARK (P). You or
someone else could be seriously injured.
Be sure to set the parking brake before
placing the transfer case in NEUTRAL.
SeeParking Brake on page 126.
NEUTRAL:Shift the vehicle’s transfer case to
NEUTRAL only when towing your vehicle.
SeeRecreational Vehicle Towing on page 362for
more information.
An indicator light in the knob will show you which
position the transfer case is in. The indicator lights
will come on briey when you turn on the ignition
and one will stay on. If the lights do not come on,
you should take your vehicle to your dealer for
service. An indicator light will ash while shiftingthe transfer case. It will stay on when the shift is
complete. If for some reason the transfer case
cannot make a requested shift, it will return to the
last chosen setting.
If the service Four-Wheel Drive Warning Light on
the instrument panel cluster stays on, you
should take your vehicle to your dealer for service.
SeeService Four-Wheel Drive Warning Light on
page 218for further information.
Shifting Into Four-Wheel High or Automatic
Four-Wheel Drive
Turn the knob to Four-Wheel High or Automatic
Four-Wheel Drive. This can be done at any speed
unless you are shifting out of Four-Wheel Low.
The indicator light will ash while shifting.
It will remain on when the shift is complete.
Shifting Into Two-Wheel High
Turn the knob to Two-Wheel High. This can be
done at any speed unless you are shifting
out of Four-Wheel Low.
123

Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down with your foot and pull up on the
parking brake lever located between the seats.
If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
on the instrument panel cluster will come on.
SeeBrake System Warning Light on page 208.To release the parking brake, hold the regular
brake pedal down. Pull the parking brake lever up
until you can press in the button at the end of
the lever. Hold the button in as you move
the parking brake lever all the way down.
Notice:Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and you must park on a
hill, seeTowing a Trailer on page 368.
126

Passenger Airbag Indicator
The mirror may be equipped with a passenger
airbag indicator on the mirror glass, just above the
buttons. If the vehicle has this feature the mirror
will display the word ON, or an airbag symbol
in Canada, when the passenger airbag is enabled.
For more information seePassenger Sensing
System on page 80.
Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or
similar material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror
as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Outside Manual Mirrors
If the vehicle has the manual outside mirrors,
adjust each outside mirror so that a little of
the vehicle and the area behind it can be seen
while sitting in a comfortable, driving position.
Both mirrors can be manually folded inward
by pulling them towards the vehicle. Push the
mirrors away from the vehicle, to the normal
position, before driving.
Outside Power Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature. The power
mirror control is located on the driver’s door.
Turn the control knob left or right to select the
desired mirror. Then move the control knob to the
left or right or up or down to position the mirror
so that you can see a little of the outside of
the vehicle. After adjusting the position of the
mirrors, turn the knob to the center off position so
that the mirrors do not move.
If the travel position in any direction of the mirror
is reached, it will enter a ratcheting mode.
This action is harmless. It is a warning that the
mirror can go no further. To stop this action, back
the mirror up by moving the knob in the opposite
direction.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to
prevent damage when going through an automatic
car wash. To fold, push the mirror toward the
vehicle. To return the mirror to its original position,
push outward. Be sure to return both mirrors to
their original unfolded position before driving.
