2007 HUMMER H2 alarm

Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
With this system, the
security light in the
instrument panel cluster
will ash as you open
the door if your
ignition is off.
This light reminds you to activate the
theft-deterrent system. Here is how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
security light will illuminate to inform the driver
the system is arming. If a door is open when
the doors are locked, the security light
will ash.3. Close all doors. The security light should go
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light goes off.
If the delayed locking feature is turned on,
the theft-deterrent system will not start
the arming process until the last door is
closed and the delay timer has expired.
SeeDelayed Locking on page 102.
If a locked door is opened without the key or
the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will
go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will
ash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery
power. You can choose different feedback options
for the alarm. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization
on page 234.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with the vehicle’s key
or use the manual door lock. It activates only if
you use a power door lock switch with the
door open, or with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. You should also remember that you
can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if
the alarm has been set off.

Here is how to avoid setting off the alarm
by accident:
If you do not want to activate the
theft-deterrent system, the vehicle should be
locked with the door keyafterthe doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the
remote keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking
a door any other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any
door with the key. You can also turn off the alarm
by pressing unlock on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The alarm will not stop if you try
to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch while the door is
open, or with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
While the alarm is set, the power door unlock
switch is not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps ash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
seeInstrument Panel Fuse Block on page 504
andUnderhood Fuse Block on page 507.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do
not ash, the vehicle should be serviced by
your dealer.

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 far
better, reducing 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 your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, etc.,
may affect the performance of the heating and
air conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.
Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive repair orreplacement. Paying attention to your warning
lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on briey when
you start the engine just to let you know they
are working. If you are familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often
gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there is a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on when you are driving, or when one of the
gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about
it. Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly – and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights and
gages. They are a big help.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information
Center (DIC) that works along with warning lights
and gages. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 226.
