Chevrolet 2009 Traverse Automobile User Manual


 
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.
@ (Recirculation): Press to
turn the recirculation mode on or off.
An indicator light comes on when
recirculation is on. When the engine
is turned off, the recirculation mode
automatically turns off and must
be re-selected when the engine
is turned on again.
This mode recirculates and helps to
quickly cool the air inside the vehicle.
It can be used to prevent outside air
and odors from entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes
three times and turns off. The air
conditioning also comes on when
this mode is activated unless the
outside air temperature is less than
40°F (4°C). While in recirculation
mode the windows can fog when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear
the fog, select either the defog or
defrost mode and increase the fan
speed.
REAR (Rear Climate Control):
Press to turn the rear heating
and air conditioning on or off.
See Rear Air Conditioning and
Heating System on page 3-28 or
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
System and Electronic Climate
Controls on page 3-29.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
< (Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. The rear
window defogger stays on for about
10 minutes, before automatically
turning off. The defogger will also
turn off when the engine is turned off.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
For vehicles with heated outside
rearview mirrors, fog or frost
is cleared from the surface of
the mirror when
< is pressed.
Notice: Do not use anything
sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut
or damage the warming grid, and
the repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle
license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
