2009 HUMMER H2 display

Notice:The spare tire extends farther away from
rear of the vehicle than the trailer hitch shown on rear
vision camera display. The spare tire could hit an
object even though there appears to be enough
distance on the display between the trailer hitch
and objects behind you causing vehicle or property
damage. Do not use this system to judge the distance
between the spare tire and objects behind you.
When the System Does Not Seem To
Work Properly
The rear vision camera system might not work properly
or display a clear image if:
The RVC is turned off. See “Turning the Rear
Camera System On or Off” earlier in this section.
It is dark.
The sun or the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lens.
Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the
camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water,
and wipe it with a soft cloth.
The back of the vehicle is in an accident, the
position and mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can be affected.
Be sure to have the camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your dealer/retailer.
There are extreme temperature changes.

The rear vision camera system display in the rearview
mirror may turn off or not appear as expected due to a
loss of video signal, or no video signal present during
the reverse cycle. The display will be blank and the left
indicator light will slowly ash as long as the vehicle is
in R (Reverse) or until the condition returns to normal.
Pressing and holding
zwhen the left indicator light
is ashing will turn off the video display along with the
left indicator light.

Power Tilt Wheel
For vehicles with the
power tilt wheel control
it is located on the left side
of the steering column.
Push the control up or down to tilt the steering wheel up
or down.
To set the memory position, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-64.
Heated Steering Wheel
For vehicles with a heated steering wheel, the button for
this feature is located on the steering wheel.
(:Press to turn the heated steering wheel on or off.
A light on the button displays when the feature is
turned on.
The steering wheel takes about three minutes to start
heating.

Heated Windshield Washer
For vehicles with the heated windshield washer uid
system it can be used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap,
or bugs from the windshield.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):Press the heated washer
uid button to activate the heated windshield washer
uid system. This activation initiates four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The rst heated wash/wipe cycle may
take up to 40 seconds to occur, depending on outside
temperature. After the rst wash/wipe cycle, it may take
up to 20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles to
begin. Press the button again to turn off the heated
windshield washer uid system or it will automatically
turn off after four wipe cycles have been completed.
When the heated windshield washer uid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may ow out of the washer nozzles
for a short period of time before washer uid is sprayed.
This is a normal condition.
HEATING WASH FLUID WASH WIPES PENDING is
displayed on the DIC when the washer system is heating
the uid. WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID is displayed
when the washer uid is low. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-56.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
For vehicles with a rear window washer/wiper, the
button is located on the instrument panel to the left of
the instrument panel cluster.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
uid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your
vision.
Z(Rear Wiper):Press to turn the rear wiper on and
off. The wiper speed cannot be changed.
Y(Wash):Press to spray washer uid on the rear
window. Release the button when enough uid has
been sprayed on the window. The rear wiper will run a
few more cycles after it is released. If the rear wiper
function was already on, prior to pressing the wash
button, it stays on until the wiper button is pressed
again.
5(Delay):Press to turn on delayed wiping.
The rear window washer uses the same uid that is
in the windshield washer reservoir. SeeWindshield
Washer Fluid on page 5-37.

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that
estimates the battery’s temperature and state of charge.
It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and
extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When
the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly
to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter
gage or a voltage display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down.
This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be
displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical
loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is
because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning
fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is
needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at
high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer
loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s output
and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase
engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands
of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message
might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE,
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If this
message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-56.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamps if they are left
on for more than 10 minutes when the ignition is
in LOCK/OFF. This helps to prevent the battery
from running down.

Driver and Passenger Side Temperature
Control
The driver and passenger side temperature buttons
are used to adjust the temperature of the air coming
through the system on the driver or passengers side
of the vehicle. The temperature can be adjusted even
if the system is turned off. This is possible since outside
air always ows through the system as the vehicle is
moving forward unless it is set to recirculation mode.
See “Recirculation” later in this section.
Press the + or−buttons to increase or decrease
the cabin temperature. The driver side or passenger
side temperature display shows the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing.
The passenger temperature setting can be set to match
the driver temperature setting by pressing the PASS
button and turning off the PASS indicator. When the
passenger temperature setting is set different than
the driver’s setting, the indicator on the PASS button
illuminates and both the driver side and passenger
side temperature displays are shown.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation is
active the system will control the inside temperature,
the air delivery, and the fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the display will change
to show the current temperature(s) and AUTO will
be lit on the display. The current delivery mode
and fan speed will also be displayed for
approximately 5 seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor
will run when the outside temperature is over
about 40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be
set to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet
may automatically switch to recirculate inside air
to help quickly cool down the vehicle. The light
on the button comes on in recirculation.
