Assist Steps - Hummer 2007 H2 Owner's Manual

After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has collected
on the underbody, chassis, or under the hood.
These accumulations can be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have the brake
linings cleaned and checked. These substances
can cause glazing and uneven braking. Check the
engine and oil coolers for mud accumulation.
Thoroughly and carefully clean these devices to
allow proper cooling. Check the body structure,
steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust
system for damage. Also, check the fuel lines and
cooling system for any leakage.
Your vehicle will require more frequent service
due to off-road use. See the Maintenance
Schedule for additional information.

Assist Steps

Your vehicle may be equipped with removable
side steps.
Remove the steps prior to off-roading to give your
vehicle more ground clearance and to prevent
damage to the vehicle from the side steps
dragging and/or catching on obstacles.
Notice: Do not drive off-road with the side
steps attached to your vehicle. You can damage
the side steps and/or your vehicle's frame if
they get caught or drag against an obstacle.
This damage would not be covered by your
vehicle's warranty. Always remove the side
steps prior to any off-road driving.
