2007 HUMMER H2 light

First Aid Kit and Tool Kit
The rst aid and tool kit is located in the storage bin
on top of the spare tire on SUV models. It is held in
place with a hook and loop fastener strap.
On SUT models, the kit is in the rear cargo
compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The kit includes a rst aid kit (A), a ashlight (C),
a tire pressure gage (B), and a multi-purpose
tool set (D).
The tire pressure gage has a reset button in the
gage stem. After taking a pressure reading,
press the button to reset the gage to zero.
Front Mounted Receiver
Your vehicle is equipped with a front mounted
receiver.
You can use the receiver with a power winch
platform (described later in this section) or with
other accessories.

Selectable Extended Rear Ride
Height
If your vehicle has this feature it comes as part
of the electronically controlled air suspension
system.
The selectable rear ride height allows you to raise
the rear of the vehicle about 2 inches (5 cm)
over the normal ride height. This can be helpful
when driving off-road where you may need
more ground clearance to clear an obstacle.
The button that controls
this feature is located
on the instrument panel
to the right of the
steering wheel.To use this feature, ensure that the following
conditions are met:
The engine must be running.
All doors must be fully closed. The suspension
will not raise or lower if a door is open.
The vehicle speed must be less than 40 mph
(64 km/h). The system will not activate
otherwise.
Press the height control button to raise the rear of
the vehicle.
A light in the button will begin to ash as the rear
of the vehicle rises. Once the extended height
has been reached (this may take up to a minute),
the warning light will stop ashing and will stay
lit while the vehicle is at the extended height.
371

To lower the vehicle to the normal ride height,
press the button again. The light in the button will
ash as the suspension lowers. When the light
in the button stops ashing and goes out,
the suspension has reached the normal ride
height.
This feature will lower the vehicle to the normal
height if vehicle speed exceeds 40 mph (64 km/h).
You may also want to use this feature when
ascending, descending or cresting a steep hill as
this can help prevent the rear bumper from
dragging on the base of the hill or prevent the
vehicle from grounding out (high centering) on the
crest of the hill.
Do not use this feature when towing a trailer.Electronically Controlled Air
Suspension System
The electronically controlled air suspension, if
equipped, keeps the rear of your vehicle level as
you load and unload it. The system includes a
compressor, two height sensor and two air springs
supporting the vehicle.
The engine must be running for the system to
level the vehicle after loading or unloading.
The system will suspend transitioning between
the designed ride height and the extended
ride height if any of the doors are open. However,
the system will not suspend operation during
normal leveling and once the doors are closed,
system leveling will continue.
You may hear the compressor running when you
load your vehicle, and periodically as the system
adjusts the vehicle to the standard ride height.
372

You may also hear the release of air similar to a
hissing sound during suspension operation.
This is normal.
Load leveling will not function normally with the
inator hose attached to the inator outlet.
Remove the inater hose from the outlet when
it is not in use. SeeAccessory Inator on
page 466.
Overload and Overheat Protection
Overload protection is designed to protect the air
suspension system and is an indication to the
driver that the vehicle is overloaded.
If the rear suspension remains at a low height, the
rear axle load has exceeded GAWR (Gross Axle
Weight Rating). When the overload protection
mode is activated, the compressor operates forabout 30 seconds to one minute without raising the
vehicle depending on the amount of overload.
This will continue each time the ignition is turned on
until the rear axle load is reduced below GAWR.
If the total rear GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
is reached, the suspension may be slightly less
than level. This is normal and does not mean there
is a problem with the air suspension.
If the system overheats due to normal operation,
the SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION message
will not be displayed on the DIC, but the system
will shut down and stop all leveling functions until it
cools down. If the system overheats and sets
the SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION message in the
DIC, then there is a fault. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 226for more information.

Tow/Haul Mode
Tow/haul mode is used when using your vehicle to
pull a large or heavy load or trailer. Tow/haul is
also useful while pulling a load in rolling terrain, in
stop-and-go traffic, or when you need improved
low-speed control, such as when parking.
The purpose of the tow/haul mode is to do the
following:
Reduce the frequency and improve the
predictability of transmission shifts when
pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.
Provide the same solid shift feel when pulling a
heavy trailer or a large or heavy load as when
the vehicle is unloaded.
Improve control of vehicle speed while requiring
less accelerator pedal activity when pulling a
heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.
Tow/haul mode is most effective when the vehicle
and trailer combined weight is at least 75 percent of
the vehicle’s Gross Combination Weight Rating
(GCWR). See “Weight of the Trailer” later in this
section.Press the button on the
instrument panel to the
right of the steering
wheel to enable
the tow/haul mode.
A light on the instrument
panel will illuminate to
indicate that tow/haul
mode has been
selected.
Press the button again to turn off tow/haul mode.
The indicator light on the instrument panel will
turn off. The vehicle will automatically turn
off tow/haul mode every time it is started.
Driving with tow/haul mode activated without a
heavy load or with no trailer will cause reduced
fuel economy and unpleasant engine and
transmission driving characteristics, but will not
cause damage.

Notice:If your vehicle has factory or
dealer-installed HUMMER off-road lamps, the
place where an electric trailer brake connection
must be made is already in use. Do not attempt
to double-up or “piggyback” the connection,
because this could cause a failure or damage to
your vehicle, the electric trailer brake system,
or both. If you want to connect a trailer with
electric brakes to your vehicle, see your dealer
to disconnect the off-road lamps. Also, read
