2007 GMC SIERRA CLASSIC windshield wipers

Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition switch, you can turn it
to four different positions.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break
the key. Use the correct key and turn the key
only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the
way in. If it is, turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.A (LOCK):This position locks your ignition when
the key is removed. The steering locks when
equipped with a manual transmission. It is
a theft-deterrent feature. You will only be able to
remove your key when the ignition is turned
to LOCK.
B (ACCESSORY):This position allows you to use
things like the radio, power windows and the
windshield wipers when the engine is off.
{CAUTION:
On manual transmission vehicles, turning
the key to LOCK will lock the steering
column and result in a loss of ability to
steer the vehicle. This could cause a
collision. If you need to turn the engine
off while the vehicle is moving, turn the
key only to ACCESSORY. Do not press
the key release button while the vehicle is
moving.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane Change Signals. See
Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 214.
53Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 215.
Flash-to-Pass. SeeFlash-to-Pass on
page 216.
NWindshield Wipers. SeeWindshield
Wipers on page 216.
LWindshield Washer. SeeWindshield
Washer on page 217.
ICruise Control. SeeCruise Control on
page 217.
For information on the headlamps, seeHeadlamps
on page 221.
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.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
for less than one second until the arrow starts
to ash. This will cause the turn signals to
automatically ash three times. It will ash six
times if tow-haul mode is active. Holding the turn
signal lever for more than one second will
cause the turn signals to ash until you release
the lever. The lever will return by itself when
it is released.
214

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 your headlamps are in the automatic position or
on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will
turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the
lever toward you. The high-beam indicator on
the instrument panel cluster will come on. Release
the lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. Damaged
wiper blades may not clear the windshield well,
making it harder to see and drive safely. If the
blades do become damaged, install new blades or
blade inserts. For more information, seeWindshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 542.Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
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 wipe cycles, hold the band on mist longer.
6(Delay):You can set the wiper speed for a long
or short delay between wiping cycles. 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.
6(Low Speed):For steady wiping at low
speed, turn the band away from you to the
rst solid band past the delay settings.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn
the band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
216

Windshield Washer
LQ(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top
of the multifunction lever. To spray washer uid on
the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and then either stop or return to
your preset speed.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
Cruise Control
9(Off):Move the
switch to this position to
turn off the cruise
control system.
If your vehicle is has an Allison
®automatic
transmission, see “Grade Braking and Cruise
Grade Braking (Allison Transmission
®) under
Tow/Haul Mode on page 147for an explanation of
how cruise control interacts with the tap up/down
gear selection, tow/haul and grade braking
systems.
