Chevrolet Kodiak 2008 User Manual

Rear Heating System
If you have a crew cab
and your vehicle has
a rear heater,
the thumbwheel for
this feature is located
on the headliner.
To increase and decrease the flow of heated air to the
rear floor vents, turn the thumbwheel to the desired
fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the thumbwheel all
the way down.
Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may
be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause
an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will
see in the details on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you start the engine just to let
you know they are working. If you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when there
is a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells
you what to do about it. Waiting to do repairs can
be costly and even dangerous.
