wiper fluid HUMMER H2 2007 Owners Manual

Windshield Washer
{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.
LQ(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. Push the paddle to
spray washer uid on the windshield. The wipers
will clear the window and then either stop or
return to the preset speed.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):If your vehicle has
the heated windshield washer uid system, it
is used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs
from your windshield.To activate Automatic mode for de-icing, press the
heated washer button located above the
headlamp switch on the left side of the dash.
Pushing the heated washer uid button will
activate the heated windshield washer uid
system. This activation will initiate 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. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off
at any time by pushing the button again prior
to the completion of 4 wash/wipe cycles.
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.
A message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer uid is
low. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 226.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer (SUV)
If your vehicle has a
rear window
washer/wiper, the
control knob is located
on the instrument
panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
{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.To turn the rear wiper on, turn the knob to either
1 or 2. For long delayed wiping, turn the knob to 1.
For short delayed wiping, turn the knob to 2.
9(Off):To turn the wiper off, turn the knob to
this symbol.
=(Washer Fluid):To wash the window, press
the knob with this symbol.
The rear window washer uses the same uid
reservoir as the windshield washer. However, the
rear window washer will run out of uid before
the windshield washer. If you can wash your
windshield but not your rear windows, check the
uid level.

Once you are moving on the freeway, make
certain you allow a reasonable following distance.
Expect to move slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the
proper lane well in advance. If you miss your
exit, do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite
sharply. The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your
speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After
driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may
tend to think you are going slower than you
actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you are ready. Try to be well rested.
If you must start when you are not fresh — such as
after a day’s work — do not plan to make too many
miles that rst part of the journey. Wear comfortable
clothing and shoes you can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it is ready to go. If it
needs service, have it done before starting out.Of course, you will nd experienced and able
service experts in GM dealerships all across
North America. They will be ready and willing to
help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid:Is the reservoir
full? Are all windows clean inside and outside?
Wiper Blades:Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids:Have you
checked all levels?
Lamps:Are they all working? Are the lenses
clean?
Tires:They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough
for long-distance driving? Are the tires
all inated to the recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts:What is the weather
outlook along your route? Should you
delay your trip a short time to avoid a major
storm system?
Maps:Do you have up-to-date maps?

(d)Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or
cracking. Replace wiper blades that appear worn
or damaged or that streak or miss areas of
the windshield.
(e)Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all
your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any
other loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If you see anything that might keep a safety belt
system from doing its job, have it repaired. Have
any torn or frayed safety belts replaced. Also look
for any opened or broken airbag coverings, and
have them repaired or replaced. The airbag system
does not need regular maintenance.
(f)Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch
assembly, secondary latch, pivots, spring anchor,
release pawl, rear compartment hinges, outer
liftgate handle pivot points, rear door detent link,
roller mechanism, liftgate handle pivot points, latch
bolt, fuel door hinge, cargo door hinge, locks,
and folding seat hardware. More frequent
lubrication may be required when exposed to a
corrosive environment. Applying silicone grease on
weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.Spare tire carrier hinge and latch: Inspect for leaks
and lubricate if required. Remove the setscrew
at the hinge casting and add lubricant, moving the
hinge back and forth periodically, until lubricant
can be seen coming from the setscrew opening.
Install setscrew and tighten to 7 ft lb (9
Y).
SeeRecommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 528for what lubricant to use.
(g)Check vent hose at transfer case for kinks and
proper installation.
(h)Change automatic transmission uid and lter
if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside
temperature regularly reaches 90°F (32°C)
or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
When doing frequent trailer towing.
Uses such as found in taxi, police, or
delivery service.
