2007 CHEVROLET UPLANDER instrument cluster

{CAUTION:
Anyone who is up against, or very close
to, any airbag when it inates can be
seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer the best
protection for adults, but not for young
children and infants. Neither the vehicle’s
safety belt system nor its airbag system is
designed for them. Young children and
infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle.
To read how, seeOlder Children on
page 56orInfants and Young Children on
page 59.There is an airbag
readiness light on the
instrument panel cluster,
which shows the
airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. SeeAirbag Readiness Light on
page 234for more information.
98

{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument panel cluster ever comes on
and stays on, it means that something
may be wrong with the airbag system. If
this ever happens, have the vehicle
serviced promptly, because an adult-size
person sitting in the right front
passenger’s seat may not have the
protection of the frontal airbag. See
Airbag Readiness Light on page 234for
more on this, including important safety
information.

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 nished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash 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 ash. 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 arrow
ashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers will not see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and
check the fuse. SeeBulb Replacement on
page 471andFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 527.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will
ash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb
is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.
196

Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver
know to turn it off. If you need to leave the signal
on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the
signal and then turn it back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever
away from you.
When the high beams
are on, this light will
appear on the
instrument panel cluster.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever
toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward
you to momentarily turn on the high beams.
This will signal that you are going to pass. When
you release the lever, they will turn off.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the
band to mist. Hold it there until the wipers start.
Then let go. The wipers will stop after one wipe. If
you want more wipes, hold the band on mist
longer.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band
to off.
N(Delay):You can set the wiper speed for a
long or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band
to choose the delay time. The closer to the top
of the lever, the shorter the delay.

This symbol will appear
on the instrument panel
cluster when the
cruise control is set.
This symbol will disappear when the brakes are
applied or the cruise control is cancelled. It
will reappear when the set cruise speed is
resumed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and
then the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts
off. But the cruise control does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, the cruise control lever
can be pushed upward toward the plus
(resume/accelerate) position to return to the preset
cruise speed.
The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset
cruise speed. If the cruise control lever is pushed
up and held toward the plus (resume/accelerate)
position, the vehicle speed will increase untilthe lever is released or the brakes are applied.
Do not continue to hold the lever in the plus
(resume/accelerate) position, unless a faster speed
is desired.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Push up on the cruise control lever
toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position,
then release the lever and take your foot
off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now
cruise at the higher speed.
Push up and hold the cruise control lever
toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position
until the vehicle reaches the desired speed.
Then release the cruise control lever. To
increase the vehicle’s speed in very small
amounts, push up briey on the cruise control
lever and release it. Each time this is done,
the vehicle will speed up approximately
one mph (1.6 km/h).
The acceleration feature will only work after the
cruise control speed has been set by pushing the
cruise control lever down to the set position.

When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal
lamps will be on. Your instrument panel will
not be lit up.
When it is dark enough outside, the exterior lamps
will come on automatically. When it is bright
enough outside, the exterior lamps will turn off and
the DRL will turn on. Of course, you may still
turn on the headlamps any time you need to.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take approximately 30 seconds for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
light outside. During that delay, your instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure your instrument panel brightness control is
in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 206.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL and automatic
headlamps off, toggle the exterior lamp control
to off after starting the vehicle.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.Instrument Panel Brightness
The knob to adjust the
instrument panel
brightness is located in
the center of the
interior lamp controls.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights and
counterclockwise to dim them.
