GMC 2009 Canyon Automobile User Manual


 
If the knob is set on “0” (zero), some outside air will still
enter the vehicle and will be directed according to the
position of the mode knob.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to change the current airflow mode.
Select from the following modes:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
\ (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and floor and side window outlets. Cooler
air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the floor outlets.
[ (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets.
Recirculation cannot be selected while in floor mode
because this could cause the interior window to fog.
/ (Floor/Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the floor, windshield,
and side window outlets. When this mode is selected,
the system runs the air conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is near freezing or
below. Recirculation is not available in this mode.
0 (Defrost): This mode clears the windshield of fog or
frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield and
side window outlets. When this mode is selected, the
system runs the air conditioning compressor unless
the outside temperature is near, or below freezing.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
# (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light on the button
comes on to show that the air conditioning is on.
The fan control must be on to use the air conditioning.
There might be a slight change in engine performance
when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and turns
on again. This is normal. The system is designed to
make adjustments to help with fuel economy while still
maintaining the selected temperature.
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 on the button comes
on to show that the recirculation mode is on. 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/defog,
defrost, or defogging modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator will flash or not come on.
