Pontiac g6 Automobile User Manual


 
?(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 your vehicle and for maximum air conditioning
performance in hot weather. An indicator light above
the button comes on to show that it is activated.
If recirculation is selected while in defrost, defog, or
floor, the light on the button flashes three times
and goes out to let you know this is not allowed. 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 auto recirculation
feature. Each time the vehicle is started, the system
reverts to the auto recirculation function.
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.
Temperature Control: Press the up and down arrows
to increase or decrease the temperature inside the
vehicle.
#(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning compressor on and off. A light above the
button comes on while the air conditioning is on.
When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode, the
system runs the air conditioning automatically to cool
and dehumidify the air entering the vehicle.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for
the vehicle to cool down. Then keep the windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
On cool, but sunny days while using manual operation
of the automatic system, use bi-level to deliver warm
air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets. To warm or cool the air, press the
temperature buttons to the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system cools and dehumidifies the
air inside the vehicle. Also, the system maximizes
its performance by using recirculation as necessary.
Heating: On cold days when using manual operation of
the automatic system, choose floor mode to deliver
air to the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered,
push the temperature buttons to the desired setting.
To use the automatic mode, turn the knob to AUTO and
adjust the temperature by pressing the temperature
buttons.
