instrument cluster HUMMER H3 2007 User Guide

If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument panel cluster
may not be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness control is in
the full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel
Brightness on page 167.
Off-Road Lamps
The off-road lamps, if the vehicle has them,
provide auxiliary lighting when the vehicle is
used off road. These lamps are not intended to
be used in place of existing vehicle lighting.
The lamps are not to be used on any public street
or highway and are to be covered when not in
use. Check your state and local laws before
installing or using any auxiliary lighting. In some
states it may be necessary to remove the roof
lamps when operating the vehicle on the highway.The switches for the off-road lamps are located in
the center of the instrument panel below the climate
controls. One switch is used for the front lower-grille
mounted off-road lamps, if the vehicle has them,
and the other switch is used for the roof-mounted
off-road lamps, if the vehicle has them.
To use the lamps, remove the covers from the
lamps and press the switch to turn them on or
off. An indicator light on the switch will turn
on when the lamps are on.
Notice:Turning on the off-road lamps before
removing the lamp covers could damage the
off-road lamps and the covers. Always remove
the covers before turning on the off-road lamps.
The off-road lamps remain on even after the ignition
is turned off. The off-road lamp switch must be
pressed to turn them off.

Fog Lamps
Your vehicle has fog lamps. You can use them
for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your parking lamps and/or low-beam headlamps
must be on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button
is located in the
exterior lamps control.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on while
the headlamps or parking lamps are on. Press the
button again to turn them off. An indicator light
will glow in the button when the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as
much light as your headlamps. Never use your fog
lamps in the dark without turning on the headlamps.
The fog lamps will go off whenever your
high-beam headlamps come on. When the high
beams go off, the fog lamps will come on again.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):This feature
controls the brightness of the instrument panel
lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located next to

display. The instrument panel lights, cluster, and
radio display do not dim to complete darkness.
Turn the thumbwheel all the way up to turn
the dome lamps on.
Dome Lamp
The dome and footwell lamps will come on when
you open a door. The dome lamps are located
in the cargo and front area of the vehicle.
You can also turn the dome and footwell lamps
on by turning the thumbwheel, located next to
the exterior lamps control, all the way up. In this
position, the lamps will remain on whether a
door is opened or closed.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and lter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. If a situation occurs where you
change your oil prior to a CHANGE OIL message
being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the Engine Oil Life system, do the following:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press and release the stem in the lower center
of the instrument cluster until the OIL LIFE
message is displayed.
3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET
messages appear, press and hold the stem
until several beeps sound. This conrms
that the oil life system has been reset.
4. Turn the key to LOCK.
If the CHANGE OIL message comes back on
when you start your vehicle, the engine oil
life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 196.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that
may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on
your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails
with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner.
Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer’s
warnings about the use and disposal of oil
products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the
oil from the lter before disposal. Never dispose
of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on
the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies
of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a
place that collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing of your used oil, ask your
dealer, a service station, or a local recycling
center for help.

How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are
properly inated simply by looking at them. Radial
tires may look properly inated even when they
are underinated. Check the tire’s ination
pressure when the tires are cold. Cold means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.
Press the tire gage rmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire
ination pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and Loading Information
label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the
ination pressure is low, add air until you reach the
recommended amount.
If you overll the tire, release air by pushing on
the metal stem in the center of the tire valve.
Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gage.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
Your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). This system uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure levels. TPMS
sensors are mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly on your vehicle, including the spare tire.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in
your vehicle’s tires and transmit the tire pressure
readings to a receiver located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure
warning light located in the instrument panel
cluster, and at the same time display the LOW
TIRE warning message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The low tire pressure warning
light and the LOW TIRE warning message appear
at each ignition cycle until the tires are inated
to the correct ination pressure.
