Chevrolet 2007 MALIBU Automobile User Manual


 
Outlet Adjustment
Use the thumbwheels on the air outlets, located on
the center and on the sides of the instrument panel,
to change the horizontal direction of the airflow. Use
the tabs on the outlet vanes to change the vertical
direction of the airflow. Use the tabs on the outlet
vanes to shut off airflow to the outlets.
The two upper outlets in the center of the
instrument panel are dedicated to the rear seats.
These outlets are fixed to aim airflow into the rear
seats to help cool the rear occupants in hot
weather. Airflow can be shut off at the upper
outlets by turning the vertical thumbwheel. The
louvers are fixed, do not attempt to move them or
they may break.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
may block the flow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside of
your vehicle more effectively.
When an objectionable odor outside the
vehicle is encountered, use the recirculation
mode, with the temperature knob at a
comfortable setting to prevent the odor from
entering the vehicle through the ventilation
system. This can be helpful when driving
through a long tunnel with poor ventilation.
However, extended usage of this mode in cold
or cool weather can cause window fogging.
