2007 HUMMER H3 instrument cluster

{CAUTION:
Anyone who is up against, or very close
to, any airbag when it inates can be
seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer the best
protection for adults, but not for young
children and infants. Neither the vehicle’s
safety belt system nor its airbag system
is designed for them. Young children and
infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle.
To read how, seeOlder Children on
page 39orInfants and Young Children
on page 42.There is an airbag
readiness light on the
instrument panel cluster,
which shows the
airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag electrical system
for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is
an electrical problem. SeeAirbag Readiness Light
on page 178for more information.
68

{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument panel cluster ever comes on
and stays on, it means that something
may be wrong with the airbag system.
If this ever happens, have the vehicle
serviced promptly, because an adult-size
person sitting in the right front
passenger’s seat may not have the
protection of the frontal airbag. See
Airbag Readiness Light on page 178
for more on this, including important
safety information.Aftermarket equipment, such as seat covers, can
affect how well the passenger sensing system
operates. You may want to consider not using
seat covers or other aftermarket equipment if
your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
SeeAdding Equipment to Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 81for more information about
modications that can affect how the system
operates.
{CAUTION:
Stowing of articles under the passenger’s
seat or between the passenger’s seat
cushion and seatback may interfere with
the proper operation of the passenger
sensing system.

Visor Vanity Mirror
Your vehicle has a vanity mirror located on the
driver’s and passenger’s visor.
Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirror
Your vehicle may have an illuminated vanity mirror
on both visors. Lift the cover on the mirror and
the lights will automatically come on.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle has a
content theft-deterrent
alarm system.To activate the content theft-deterrent system, do
the following:
1. Close all the doors.
2. Lock the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The security light, located on the
instrument panel cluster, will ash.
If the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter is pressed, but a door is open,
the doors will lock, the lights may ash and the
horn may sound. Close the open door and
the alarm system will arm.
If a locked door is not opened using the remote
keyless entry transmitter, or by OnStar
®, the alarm
will go off. First, a pre-alarm will sound the horn
at reduced intensity for 10 seconds. Then, the front
turn signal lamps will ash for two minutes, and
the horn will sound for two minutes. The alarm will
then turn off to save battery power.
Starting the engine with the correct key will shut
off the pre-alarm or alarm at any time.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with the key,
the manual door lock, or power door lock switch.
98

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.
ACC (ACCESSORY) (B):This is the position in
which you can operate your electrical accessories
or items plugged into the accessory power
outlets. On automatic transmission vehicles, this
position unlocks the ignition. On manual
transmission vehicles, it unlocks the ignition and
steering wheel. Use this position if your vehicle
must be pushed or towed.
ON (C):This is the position that the switch returns
to after you start your engine and release the
switch. The switch stays in ON when the engine is
running. But even when the engine is not running,
you can use ON to operate the electrical
accessories and to display some instrument
panel cluster warning and indicator lights.The transmission is also unlocked in this position on
automatic transmission vehicles.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACC or ON position with the engine off. You
may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery is
allowed to drain for an extended period of time.
START (D):This is the position that starts the
engine. When the engine starts, release the key.
The ignition switch returns to ON for driving.
When the engine is not running, ACC and ON
allows you to operate the electrical accessories,
such as the radio or items plugged into the
accessory power outlets.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver’s
door when the ignition is in ACC or LOCK and
the key is in the ignition.
Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,
a chime will sound, when you open the driver’s
door. Always remember to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. This will lock
your ignition and transmission. Also, always
remember to lock the doors.
102

Automatic Transmission Operation
The automatic transmission has a shift lever on
the console.
It features an electronic shift position indicator
within the instrument cluster. This display must be
powered anytime the shift lever is capable of
being moved out of PARK (P). This means that if
your key is turned off, but not in LOCK, there
will be a small current drain on your battery which
could discharge your battery over a period of
time. If you need to leave your key in the ignition
but not in LOCK for an extended period, it is
recommended that you disconnect the battery
cable from the battery to prevent discharging your
battery.
There are several different positions for your shift
lever.PARK (P):This position locks your rear wheels.
It is the best position to use when you start the
engine because your vehicle cannot move easily.
{CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle
if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P)
with the parking brake rmly set. Your
vehicle can roll.
Do not leave your vehicle when the engine
is running unless you have to. If you have
left the engine running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you are on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
SeeShifting Into Park (P) (Automatic
Transmission) on page 117. If you are
pulling a trailer, seeTowing a Trailer on
page 297.

Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive sends your engine’s
driving power to all four wheels for extra traction.
To get the most out of Full-Time Four-Wheel
Drive, you must be familiar with its operation.
Transfer Case Buttons
The transfer case buttons are located to the
right of the instrument panel cluster. Use these
switches to shift into and out of the different
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive modes.You can choose between four modes:
4
m(Four-Wheel High):This setting is used for
driving in most street and highway situations.
You can also use this setting for light or variable
off-road conditions.
N (NEUTRAL):Shift the vehicle’s transfer case
to NEUTRAL only when towing your vehicle.
SeeRecreational Vehicle Towing on page 295
orTowing Your Vehicle on page 294for more
information.
Notice:Driving on pavement in Four-Wheel
High Lock or Four Wheel Low Lock for
extended periods may cause premature wear
on your vehicle’s powertrain and tires. Do not
drive in Four-Wheel High Lock or Four-Wheel
Low Lock on pavement for extended periods.
4
mQ(Four-Wheel-High Lock):Use this
mode when you need extra traction in most
off-road situations such as sand, mud, snow or
level, rocky trails.
