light GMC ENVOY 2003 Workshop Manual

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
·At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
·It takes a little more or less fuel to ®ll up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the tank's capacity to
®ll the tank.
·The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
·The gage doesn't go back to empty when you turn
off the ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on brie¯y when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. See
Fuel on

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of IR (Infrared) wireless headphones, a
remote control and an instructional video disc.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme temperature conditions your
entertainment system should not be operated until the
temperature is within the operating range. This will keep
your video components from being damaged when
the temperature is below-4ÉF (-20ÉC) or above
140ÉF (60ÉC). To resume operation, shut off the
entertainment system, pull down the video screen and
then heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature
is within the operating range.
Headphones
The entertainment system includes two IR wireless
headphones.
Mini-headphone jacks are also provided for use with
customer provided headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light will illuminate. If the light
does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be
replaced. See
Battery Replacementlater in this section
for more information. Switch the headphones to OFF
when not in use.
3-92

If the system is shut off, or if the headphones are out of
range of the IR transmitters below the overhead RSE
control panel for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
batteries. If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will cut out.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Tighten the screws to close the compartment door.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are
located behind the video screen on the overhead
console. The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an
auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video game
unit. The yellow RCA jack is used for video and the
red and white RCA jacks are used for audio. You may
require adapter connectors or cables to connect
your auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions for proper usage. The
mini-headphone jacks allow you to hook up two
customer provided wired headphones.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the front of the
RSE player. If a disc is not present in the player, the
auxiliary signal will immediately be displayed on
the RSE. If a disc is present when the RSE power is
turned on, the player will automatically begin playing the
disc and the user will need to press the AUX button
on the remote control to display and/or hear the auxiliary
input signals. Each press of the AUX button on the
remote control will switch the system between disc and
auxiliary input. The wired headphone volume control
will only operate when the DVD player power is turned
on and it controls both wired headphone jacks at
the same time. See
Remote Controllater in this section
for more information.

are not discharged, as this will also affect the function
of the remote control. Objects blocking the line of sight
may also affect the function of the remote control.
