Chevrolet 2007 MALIBU Automobile User Manual


 
When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO
mode, the system will run the air conditioning
automatically to cool and dehumidify the air
entering the vehicle.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
On cool, but sunny days while using manual
operation of the automatic system, use bi-level to
deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to
the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the
air delivered, press the temperature buttons to
the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify
the air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO
mode, the system will maximize its performance
by using recirculation as necessary.
On cold days when using manual operation of the
automatic system, choose floor mode to deliver air
to the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air
delivered, push the temperature buttons to the
desired setting.
If you want to use the automatic mode, turn the
knob to AUTO and adjust the temperature by
pressing the temperature buttons.
Defogging and Defrosting
You can use either defog or front defrost to clear
fog or frost from your windshield. Use the defog
mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture.
Use the front defrost button to defrost the front
windshield.
-(Defog): Use this setting to clear the windows
of fog or moisture. Turn the mode knob to this
position to select this setting. This setting will
deliver air to the floor and windshield outlets.
0(Defrost): Turn the mode knob to this
position to defrost the windshield. The system
will automatically control the fan speed if you
select defrost from AUTO mode. If the outside
temperature is 40°F (4°C) or warmer, your air
conditioning compressor will automatically run to
help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield. The
air conditioning indicator light will blink three times
if you try to turn off the compressor while in
this mode.
