2007 GMC SIERRA climate settings

Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change
the position of the throttle and brake pedals.
This feature is designed for shorter drivers, since
the pedals cannot move farther away from the
standard position, but can move toward the driver
for better pedal reach.
The switch used to
adjust the pedals is
located on the
instrument panel below
the climate control
system.
Press the arrow at the bottom of the switch to
move the pedals closer to your body. Press
the arrow at the top of the switch to move the
pedals away from your body.Before you start driving, fully press the brake
pedal to conrm the adjustment is right for you.
While driving, make only small adjustments.
No adjustment to the pedals can be made when
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) or while using
the cruise control.
Your vehicle may have a memory function which
allows pedal settings to be saved and recalled.
SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 13
for more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
If your vehicle has the DURAMAX
®Diesel
engine, see the DURAMAX®Diesel manual for
more information.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder, the
engine coolant heater can help. You will get easier
starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up.

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog or frost on the inside of windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog
or moisture and warm the passengers. The air
is directed to the windshield, oor outlets, and side
window vents.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost
from the windshield more quickly. A portion of the
air is directed to the windshield and the side
window vents, with some air directed to the oor
vents. The system will automatically force
outside air into the vehicle.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
Dual Automatic Climate
Control System
With this system, you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation in the vehicle. The vehicle
also has a ow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
You can select different climate control settings for
the driver and passengers.

2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 74°F
(23°C) temperature setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to regulate. Use the
driver’s or passenger’s temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature setting as necessary.
If you choose the temperature setting of 60°F
(15°C), the system will remain at the maximum
cooling setting. If you choose the temperature
setting of 90°F (32°C), the system will remain
at the maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the solar sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor regulates air temperature
based on sun load and also turns on your
headlamps. For more information on the solar
sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the
system will delay turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The length of delay depends on
the engine coolant temperature. Pressing the fan
switch will override this delay and change the
fan to a selected speed.O(On/Off):Press this button to turn off the
climate control system. Outside air will still enter the
vehicle, and will be directed to the oor. This
direction can be changed by pressing the mode
button. Recirculation can be selected once you
have selected vent or bi-level mode. The
temperature can also be adjusted using either
temperature button. If you adjust the air delivery
mode or temperature settings with the system off,
the display will illuminate briey to show you the
settings and then return to off. Press the on/off
button or the up down arrows on the fan switch, the
defrost button, AUTO button, or the air conditioning
button to turn the system on when it is off.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
y9 z(Fan):The buttons with the fan symbols
allow you to manually adjust the fan speed.
