2007 GMC SAVANA instrument cluster

Never put a rear facing child restraint in the right
front passenger’s seat unless the airbag is off.
Here is why:
{CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger’s airbag inates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inating airbag. Be sure the airbag is off
before using a rear-facing child restraint in
the right front seat position. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right
front seat, always move the right front
passenger seat as far back as it will go.
A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward
facing child restraint. SeeWhere to Put the
Restraint on page 51. If you need to secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat
position, move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. See
Manual Seats on page 9orPower Seat on page 10.
{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument panel cluster ever comes on
when you have turned off the airbag, it
means that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. The right front
passenger’s airbag could inate even
though the switch is off. If this ever
happens, have the vehicle serviced
promptly. Until you have the vehicle
serviced, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identied as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger’s
seat). SeeAirbag Off Switch on page 86.
If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 54.

{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 169for
more on this, including important safety
information.A thick layer of additional material such as a
blanket, or aftermarket equipment such as seat
covers, seat heaters and seat massagers
can affect how well the passenger sensing system
operates. Remove any additional material from
the seat cushion before reinstalling or securing the
child restraint or small occupant. You may want
to consider not using seat covers or other
aftermarket equipment if your vehicle has the
passenger sensing system. SeeAdding Equipment
to Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 97for
more information about modifications that can
affect how the system operates.
{CAUTION:
Stowing of articles under the passenger’s
seat or between the passenger’s seat
cushion and seatback may interfere with
the proper operation of the passenger
sensing system.

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 finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will flash 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 flash. Hold it
there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
If you move the lever all the way up or down, and
the arrow flashes at twice the normal rate, a
signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers
may not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs or a
blown fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 387.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a
mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash
of the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move the
turn signal lever to the off position.
148

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
23(Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer):To
change the headlamps from low to high beam, pull
the multifunction lever all the way toward you. Then
release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on
the instrument panel
cluster also will be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature allows you to 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 off.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, but
not so far that you hear it click.If your headlamps are off or on low-beam, your
high-beam headlamps will turn on and stay on as
long as you hold the lever toward you and the
high-beam indicator on the instrument panel will
come on. Release the lever to turn the high-beam
headlamps 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.
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.

Instrument Panel Cluster
The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how the vehicle is running.
You will know how fast you are going, how much fuel you are using, and many other things you will
need to know to drive safely and economically.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in the
United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
The digital odometer will read 999,999 if someone
tries to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle
needs a new odometer installed. If the new
one can be set to the mileage total of the old
odometer, then it must be. But if it can’t, then it’s
set at zero and a label must be put on the
driver’s door to show the old mileage reading
when the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your
vehicle has been driven since you last set the trip
odometer to zero.Press the reset button, located on the instrument
panel cluster next to the trip odometer display,
to toggle between the trip odometer and the
regular odometer. Holding the reset button for
approximately one second while the trip odometer
is displayed will reset it.
To display the odometer reading with the ignition
off, press the reset button.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime
will be provided for several seconds to remind
people to buckle their safety belts. The driver safety
belt light will also be provided and stay on for
several seconds, then it will flash for several more.
You should buckle your seat belt.
This light and chime
reminder will be
repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in
motion.
If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor
the light will be provided.
