instrument panel CHEVROLET UPLANDER 2007 1.G Repair Manual

Instrument Panel, Vinyl, and Other
Plastic Surfaces
A soft cloth dampened with water may be used to
remove dust. If a more thorough cleaning is
necessary, a clean soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap solution can be used to gently remove
dust and dirt. Never use spot lifters or removers
on plastic surfaces. Many commercial cleaners and
coatings that are sold to preserve and protect
soft plastic surfaces may permanently change the
appearance and feel of your interior and are
not recommended. Do not use silicone or
wax-based products, or those containing organic
solvents to clean your vehicle’s interior because
they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner.
Some commercial products may increase gloss on
your instrument panel. The increase in gloss
may cause annoying reections in the windshield
and even make it difficult to see through the
windshield under certain conditions.
Child Restraint Pad
The built-in child restraint pad is attached to the
seat frame with fastener strips. You can remove
the pad and hand wash it with mild soap and
water.
Care of Safety Belts and Built-in
Child Restraint Harness
Keep the safety belts and the built-in child
restraint harness clean and dry.
{CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts or the
built-in child restraint harness. If you do,
they may be severely weakened. In a
crash, they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean the safety
belts and the child restraint harness only
with mild soap and lukewarm water.

Vehicle Identication
Vehicle Identication Number (VIN)
This is the legal identier for your vehicle. It
appears on a plate in the front corner of the
instrument panel, on the driver’s side. You can see
it if you look through the windshield from outside
your vehicle. The VIN also appears on the
Certication/Tire and Service Parts labels and the
certicates of title and registration.
Engine Identication
The eighth character in the VIN is the engine
code. This code will help you identify your vehicle’s
engine, specications, and replacement parts.
Service Parts Identication Label
You will nd this label on the inside of the glove
box. It is very helpful if you ever need to order
parts. On this label, you will nd the following:
VIN
Model designation
Paint information
Production options and special equipment
Do not remove this label from the vehicle.
Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery,
even if your vehicle is not operating.
526

Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 112.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by four internal
fuses in the underhood fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this happens,
have your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an
internal fuse in the underhood fuse block. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the
overload is caused by some electrical problem, be
sure to get it xed.
The rear washer pump is controlled by a relay
located in the engine compartment, behind
the windshield washer uid reservoir. The rear
wiper motor is protected by a fuse located in the
instrument panel fuse block.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the instrument panel fuse panel
protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting
the circuit until the problem is xed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If
the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and do not
have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has
the same amperage or use one of the spare fuses
in the underhood fuse block. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can get along
without, like the radio or cigarette lighter, and use
its fuse if it is the right amperage. Replace it
as soon as you can.
527

There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle, the
instrument panel fuse block and the underhood
fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located at the
right end of the instrument panel, on the
passenger’s side of the vehicle. Open the front
passegner’s door, and remove the cover, to
access the fuse block.
Your vehicle may not have all of the fuses listed.
