2007 GMC SIERRA heating seat

Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote starting feature.
This feature allows you to start the engine
from outside of the vehicle. It may also start up
the vehicle’s heating or air conditioning systems
and rear window defogger. Normal operation of the
system will return after the key is turned to the
RUN position.
During a remote start, if your vehicle has an
automatic climate control system, the climate
control system will default to a heating mode
during colder outside temperatures and a cooling
mode during warmer outside temperatures. If
your vehicle does not have an automatic climate
control system, during remote start, the climate
control system will turn on at the setting the vehicle
was set to when the vehicle was last turned off.
During a remote start, if your vehicle has an
automatic climate control system and heated
seats, the heated seats will turn on during colder
outside temperatures and will shut off when
the key is turned to RUN.If your vehicle does not have an automatic climate
control system, during remote start, you will
need to manually turn the heated seats on and off.
SeeHeated Seats on page 12for additional
information.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may
require a person using the remote start to have the
vehicle in view when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements on remote starting
of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The RKE transmitter with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle
is running. As a result, you may need to be
closer to your vehicle to turn it off, than you were
to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 110for
additional information.

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.
W(Heated Mirrors):If your vehicle has heated
outside rearview mirrors, the mirrors will heat
to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defog button is
pressed. SeeOutside Power Mirrors on page 176.
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.
