Pontiac 2009 torrent Automobile User Manual


 
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets with
some air directed to the windshield.
When this mode is selected, the system turns the
recirculation mode off. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in floor mode. This helps to prevent
window fogging.
- (Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side window
outlets, and floor outlets. In this mode, the system
turns the recirculation mode off and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside air is at or
below freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in defog mode. This helps prevent window
fogging. To defog the windows faster, turn the
temperature knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
0 (Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield,
with some air directed to the side window outlets and the
floor outlets. In this mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be selected while in defrost
mode. This helps prevent window fogging. To defrost the
windows faster, turn the temperature knob clockwise to
the warmest setting.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the air conditioning is on. The air conditioning
can be selected in any mode as long as the fan is on
and the outside temperature is above freezing. A
flashing indicator light indicates that the air conditioning
compressor is currently not available.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, select the following
settings together:
1. Select
H mode.
2. Select
; .
3. Turn the
# on.
4. Select the coolest temperature and highest fan
speed.
5. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is below the
outside temperature, select recirculation mode for
enhanced cooling.
