Buick 2008 Automobile User Manual


 
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
in the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
F (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
* (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and the floor outlets. In automatic operation,
cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air
to the floor outlets.
7 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some
air directed to the windshield and side window outlets.
If recirculation is selected while in this mode, it stays on
for three minutes to reduce windshield fogging.
W (Floor/Defog): This mode clears the windows of
fog or moisture. Air is directed to the floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets. The system turns off recirculation and runs
the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in the floor/defog mode.
0 (Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield
and the side window outlets. The system automatically
turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning
compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or
below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while
in the defrost mode.
# (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off and override the automatic system.
An indicator light below the button comes on to
show that this mode is on.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
: (Outside Air): Press to let outside air enter the
vehicle. An indicator light comes on to show this mode
is on. Pressing
? cancels this mode.
