2007 GMC ENVOY windshield wipers

Ignition Positions
Use the key to turn the ignition switch to
four different positions.
A (LOCK):This position locks the ignition and
transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will
only be able to remove the key when the ignition
is turned to LOCK.Notice:If your key seems stuck in LOCK and
you cannot turn it, be sure you are using
the correct key; if so, is it all the way in? Turn
the key only with your hand. Using a tool to
force it could break the key or the ignition
switch. If none of these works, then your
vehicle needs service.
B (ACCESSORY):This position lets you use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers
when the engine is off.
Lengthy operation of features such as the radio in
the accessory ignition position may drain the
battery and prevent your vehicle from starting.
Do not operate your vehicle in the accessory
ignition position for a long period of time.
C (RUN):This is the position for driving.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACCESSORY or RUN position with the
engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for
an extended period of time.
D (START):This position starts the engine.

your legs more room when you enter and exit
the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull
the lever toward you. Move the steering wheel
to a comfortable level, then release the lever
to lock the wheel in place.

To return to low-beam headlamps, pull the
multifunction lever toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this indicator light
on the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam
headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that
you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps
are in the automatic position.To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.
If the headlamps are in the automatic position or
on low beam, the high-beam headlamps turn
on. They will stay on as long as you hold the lever
toward you. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel cluster comes on. Release the
lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist, for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the
band on mist longer.
9(Off):Move the band to off, to stop
the wipers.

N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to
control the windshield wipers.
The wiper speed can be set 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.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band
away from you to the rst solid band past the delay
settings. For high-speed wiping, turn the band
further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings. To stop the wipers, move the
band to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the
blades do become worn or damaged, get new
blades or blade inserts.Windshield Washer
