Chevrolet 2010 Malibu Automobile User Manual


 
In AUTO mode the system cools and dehumidifies the
air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the
system maximizes its performance by using
recirculation as necessary.
Heating: On cold days when using manual operation of
the automatic system, use floor mode to deliver air to
the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered,
press
x or w to the desired temperature setting.
To use the automatic mode, turn the knob to AUTO and
press
x or w to adjust the temperature.
: (Outside Air): Press to turn the outside air mode
on. An indicator light comes on to show it is on. Air from
outside the vehicle will circulate throughout the vehicle.
The outside air mode can be used with all modes, but it
cannot be used with the recirculation mode. Pressing
this button cancels the recirculation mode.
h (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation
mode on. An indicator light above the button comes on
to show it is on. This mode recirculates and helps to
quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to
help prevent outside air and odors from entering the
vehicle. The recirculation indicator light blinks three
times if you try to use recirculation in a mode in which it
cannot function.
Pressing this button cancels the auto recirculation
feature. Each time the vehicle is started, the system
reverts to the auto recirculation function.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with the floor,
defrost, or defog modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes three times and turns
off to indicate that this is not allowed. This is to prevent
window fogging.
When the weather is cool or damp, operating the
system in recirculation for extended periods of time can
cause fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the
fog, select either defog or defrost. Make sure the air
conditioning is on. Allow the air conditioning to run
automatically to help dehumidify the air.
