turn signal GMC CANYON 2007 Owner's Manual

Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
At times you may notice a decrease in range. This
is normal for any RKE system. If the transmitter
does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
Check the distance. You may be too far
from your vehicle. You may need to stand
closer during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or right, hold the transmitter
higher, and try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement
is necessary. See “Battery Replacement”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 101.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
If your vehicle has this feature you can lock
and unlock your doors and disarm or arm your

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

to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with a key, the manual
door lock, or power door lock switch. The system
can only be activated using the remote keyless
entry transmitter, or by OnStar
®. SeeOnStar®

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

Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 426.
If the alarm does not sound or the front turn signal
lamps do not ash, see your dealer for service.
Passlock®
Your vehicle has the Passlock®theft-deterrent

®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If an incorrect key is used or
the ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel
system is disabled and the vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the security light will turn
off approximately ve seconds after the engine
is started. SeeSecurity Light on page 192.If the engine stalls and the security light ashes,
wait about 10 minutes until the light stops
ashing before trying to restart the engine.
Remember to release the key from START as
soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the
vehicle needs service.
If the engine is running and the security light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if

other vehicles) look farther away than
they really are. If you cut too sharply into
the right lane, you could hit a vehicle
on your right. Check your inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.

Hazard Warning Flashers
The hazard warning ashers let you warn the
police and others that you have a problem.
The front and rear turn signal lamps will ash
on and off.
The hazard warning
asher button is located
on the instrument
panel, between the
two air vents in
the center.
The hazard warning ashers work no matter what
position the key is in, and even if the key is not
in the ignition.
Press the button to make the front and rear turn
signal lamps ash on and off. Press the button
again to turn the ashers off.
When the hazard warning ashers are on, the turn
signals will not work.
Other Warning Devices
If you carry reective triangles, you can set one up
at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m)
behind your vehicle.
Horn
To sound the horn, press the horn symbol on the
steering wheel pad.
Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. The tilt steering wheel can be
raised to the highest level to allow more room for
the driver to enter and exit the vehicle.
158

The tilt lever is located on the left side of the
steering column, under the turn signal lever.
To tilt, hold the steering wheel and pull the tilt lever
toward you. Move the wheel to a comfortable level,
then release the tilt lever to lock the wheel in place.
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.

includes the following:
GTurn and Lane Change Signals. See

NWindshield Wipers. SeeWindshield Wipers
on page 161.
LWindshield Washer. SeeWindshield
Washer on page 162.
JCruise Control. SeeCruise Control on
page 163.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever will
automatically return to the off position.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until the
change is completed. The lever will return by
itself when released.An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not
see your vehicle’s turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
signaling a turn, check for a burned-out bulb or a
blown fuse. For bulb replacement, seeTaillamps,
Turn Signal, Stoplamps and Back-up Lamps
on page 364. For a blown fuse or circuit breaker,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 426.

Turn Signal On Chime
If a turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of
a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each ash
of the turn signal and the message TURN SIGNAL

and message off, move the turn signal lever to
the off position.

you want to pass. It works even if the headlamps
are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or
on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will
turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the
lever toward you. The high-beam indicator on
the instrument panel cluster will come on. Release
