open hood HUMMER H2 2007 Owners Manual

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 door keyafterthe doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the
remote keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking
a door any other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any
door with the key. You can also turn off the alarm
by pressing unlock on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The alarm will not stop if you try
to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch while the door is
open, or with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
While the alarm is set, the power door unlock
switch is not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps ash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
seeInstrument Panel Fuse Block on page 504
andUnderhood Fuse Block on page 507.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do
not ash, the vehicle should be serviced by
your dealer.

Engine Compartment Overview
When you open the hood on the 6.0L V8 engine here is what you will see:
402

Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap
Notice:If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and possible engine
damage may occur. Be sure the cap is properly
and tightly secured.
The coolant surge tank pressure cap must be fully
installed on the coolant surge tank. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 402for more
information on location.
Engine Overheating
You will nd a coolant temperature gage on your
vehicle’s instrument panel. SeeEngine Coolant
Temperature Gage on page 213.
In addition, you will nd an ENGINE COOLANT
HOT, ENGINE OVERHEATED and a REDUCED
ENGINE POWER message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) on the instrument panel.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 226.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
{CAUTION:
Steam from an overheated engine can burn
you badly, even if you just open the hood.
Stay away from the engine if you see or
hear steam coming from it. Turn it off and
get everyone away from the vehicle until
it cools down. Wait until there is no sign of
steam or coolant before you open the hood.
If you keep driving when the vehicles
engine is overheated, the liquids in it can
catch re. You or others could be badly
burned. Stop your engine if it overheats,
and get out of the vehicle until the engine
is cool.
SeeOverheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode on page 420for
information on driving to a safe place in
an emergency.
418

Notice:If your engine catches re because
you keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle
can be badly damaged. The costly repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
SeeOverheated Engine Protection Operating
Mode on page 420for information on driving to
a safe place in an emergency.
If No Steam Is Coming From Your
Engine
The ENGINE COOLANT HOT message, along
with a low coolant condition, can indicate a serious
problem.
If you get an engine overheat warning, but see or
hear no steam, the problem may not be too
serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little
too hot when you:
Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high-speed driving.
Idle for long periods in traffic.
Tow a trailer. SeeTowing a Trailer on
page 374.If you get the ENGINE COOLANT HOT message
with no sign of steam, try this for a minute or so:
1. Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan
speed and open the windows as necessary.
2. If you are in a traffic jam, shift to
NEUTRAL (N); otherwise, shift to the highest
gear while driving — DRIVE (D).
If you no longer have the overheat warning,
you can drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for
about 10 minutes. If the warning does not
come back on, you can drive normally.
If the warning continues and you have not
stopped, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle
right away.
If there is still no sign of steam, push down the
accelerator until the engine speed is about
twice as fast as normal idle speed for at least
three minutes while you are parked. If you
still have the warning, turn off the engine and get
everyone out of the vehicle until it cools down.
Also, see “Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode” later in this section.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get
service help right away.

To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling,
set the parking brake rmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start procedure. Put
an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a
manual transmission in NEUTRAL before
setting the parking brake.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles.
Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged into
the cigarette lighter or accessory power
outlets. Turn off the radio and all lamps that
are not needed. This will avoid sparks
and help save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+)
and negative (−) terminal locations of the
other vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal and a remote negative (−)
jump starting terminal. You should always use
these remote terminals instead of the
terminals on the battery.
The remote positive (+)
terminal is located near
the engine accessory
drive bracket. On some
vehicles, the terminal
may be covered
by a red plastic cover.
To access the
remote positive (+)
terminal, open
the cover, if equipped.

(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.
