Pontiac g6 Automobile User Manual


 
6(Floor): Turn the knob to this mode to direct most
of the air to the floor outlets with some air directed to the
side window outlets and windshield.
:(Outside Air): Press the right side of this button to
turn the outside air mode on. When this mode is
selected, air from outside the vehicle circulates
throughout your vehicle. An indicator light comes on to
show that it is activated. The outside air mode can
be used with all modes, but it cannot be used with the
recirculation mode. Press this button again to cancel the
recirculation mode.
?(Recirculation): Press the left side of the button
to turn the recirculation mode on. The air inside the
vehicle is recirculated through the climate control system
and throughout the vehicle, not from outside. This
mode is helpful when you are trying to limit odors from
entering the vehicle and for maximum air conditioning
performance in hot weather. An indicator light above the
button comes on to show that it is activated. The
indicator light will blink three times if you try to use
recirculation in a mode that it can not be used in. Use
this mode only when it is needed for comfort, since
window fogging occurs if the air conditioning compressor
is not engaged.
Press this button to cancel the outside air mode. When
you switch to the defog or defrost modes the system
automatically moves from recirculation to outside
air. When the vehicle or fan is turned off and back on,
the system automatically defaults to outside air.
Only use recirculation mode when it is needed for
comfort, since window fogging can occur.
Temperature Control: Turn the center knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature inside the vehicle.
When it is cold outside 0°F (18°C) or lower, use the
engine coolant heater, if the vehicle has one, to quickly
provide warmer air. An engine coolant heater warms
coolant that the engine uses to warm the inside of the
vehicle. For more information, see Engine Coolant
Heater on page 2-25.
#(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. An indicator light comes
on to indicate that the air conditioning is activated.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so sometimes a small amount of water drips
underneath the vehicle while it is idling or after the
engine is turned off. This is normal.
