2007 GMC ENVOY DENALI air condition

H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs approximately
half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, then
directs the remaining air to the oor outlets.
A little air is directed toward the windshield and the
side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
oor outlets. Some air also comes out of the
defroster and side window outlets. The recirculation
button cannot be selected in oor mode.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
recirculation mode on or off. When this button is
pressed, an indicator light in the button will also
come on to let you know that it is activated.
Recirculation mode is used to recirculate the air
inside of your vehicle. Use this mode to help
prevent outside odors and/or dust from entering
your vehicle or to help cool the air inside of your
vehicle more quickly. Recirculation mode can be
used with vent and bi-level modes, but it cannot be
used with oor, defog or defrost modes. Defog and
defrost modes are described later in this section.If recirculation mode is selected with oor, defog, or
defrost modes, the indicator will ash three times
and then turn off indicating the selection is not
available.
You may also notice that the air conditioning
compressor will run while in recirculation mode.
This is normal and will help to prevent fogging.
If the weather is cold and damp, the system may
cause the windows to fog while using recirculation
mode. If the windows do start to fog, select defog or
defrost mode and increase fan speed.
Recirculation mode, if selected, will be cleared
when the engine is turned off.#A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to
manually turn the air conditioning system on or off.
When the system is on, the system will
automatically begin to cool and dehumidify the air
inside of your vehicle. The air conditioning
symbol will appear on the display when the air
conditioning is on and will turn off when the
air conditioning is off.
192

If you turn the air conditioning off while in front
defrost or defog mode, the air conditioning symbol
will turn off, however, the A/C compressor will
remain on to help de-humidify the air inside
the vehicle. If one of the other modes is selected
the compressor will then turn the A/C off until
it is selected again or the AUTO button is pressed.
To avoid fogging the inside glass on rainy and
humid days at a temperature above freezing, press
the air conditioning button to run the A/C
compressor. Also it is best to avoid the use of the
recirculation mode except when maximum air
conditioning performance is needed or for short
times to avoid exterior odors.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air-conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
moisture condensing on the cool window glass.
This can be reduced if the climate control system is
used properly. You can use either defog or front
defrost to clear fog or frost from your windshield.
-(Defog):Use this setting to clear the windows
of fog or moisture. This setting will deliver air
to the oor and windshield outlets.
0(Front Defrost):Press the front defrost button
to clear the windshield and side windows of
frost or fog quickly. The system will automatically
control the fan speed if you select defrost from
AUTO mode. If the outside temperature is
40°F (4°C) or warmer, your air conditioning
compressor will automatically run to help
dehumidify the air and dry the windshield. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
193

Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has the rear window defogger a
warming grid is used to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off.
An indicator light in the button will come on
to let you know that the rear window defogger
is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off
approximately 10 minutes after the button is
pressed. If you need additional warming time,
press the button again.
If your vehicle has heated mirrors, they will come
on when this button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the
side of the instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as
leaves. The heater and defroster will work
better, reducing the chance of fogging
the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set
the fan speed to maximum airow for a few
moments before driving. This helps clear
the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.

Charging System Light
The charging system
light will come on briey
when you turn on the
ignition, but the
engine is not running,
as a check to show you
it is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it
stays on, or comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the charging system.
It could indicate that you have problems with a
generator drive belt, or another electrical problem.
Have it checked right away. Driving while this
light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on,
be certain to turn off all your accessories, such
as the radio and air conditioner.
Voltmeter Gage
When your engine is not
running, but the ignition
is in RUN, this gage
displays the battery
voltage in DC volts.
When the engine is running, the gage shows the
condition of the charging system. The gage
may transition from a higher to lower or a lower to
higher reading, this is normal. Readings between
the low and high warning zones indicate the
normal operating range. The voltmeter gage may
also read lower when in fuel economy mode.
This is normal.
205

This light should come on, as a check to show
you it is working, when the ignition is on and the
engine is not running. If the light does not
come on, have it repaired. This light will also
come on during a malfunction in one of two ways:
Light Flashing— A misre condition has
been detected. A misre increases vehicle
emissions and may damage the emission
control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis and
service may be required.
Light On Steady— An emission control
system malfunction has been detected on
your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may
be required.
If the Light is Flashing
The following may prevent more serious damage
to your vehicle:
Reducing vehicle speed
Avoiding hard accelerations
Avoiding steep uphill grades
If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled as soon as it is possibleIf the light stops ashing and remains on steady,
see “If the Light Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to ash, when it is safe to do
so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park
your vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least
10 seconds and restart the engine. If the light
remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady”
following. If the light is still ashing, follow the
previous steps, and see your dealer for service as
soon as possible.
If the Light Is On Steady
You may be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle?
If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully
install the cap. SeeFilling the Tank on page 385.
The diagnostic system can determine if the
fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed.
A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips
with the cap properly installed should turn the
light off.
