Pontiac G5 Automobile User Manual


 
- (Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side window,
and floor outlets. To defog the windows faster, turn the
temperature control knob clockwise to the warmest
setting. In this mode, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor.
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. To defrost the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob clockwise to
the warmest setting. In this mode, the system runs
the air conditioning compressor.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
# (Air Conditioning): For vehicles with air
conditioning, press this button to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the air conditioning is on.
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:
1. Select the
H mode.
2. Select the
h mode.
3. Select
# .
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
the vehicle has cooled, turn off the recirculation by
pressing the button again.
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.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned on
when the fan is off.
