Outlet Adjustment
Use the louvers located on the air outlets to change the
direction of the airflow.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the vehicle that may block
the flow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more
effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter. The filter removes certain particles
from the air, including pollen and dust particles.
Reductions in airflow, which may occur more quickly in
dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to be
replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4 for replacement intervals.
See your retailer for details on changing the filter.
To find out what type of filter to use, see Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 6-16.
To access the passenger compartment air filter you
must go through the glove box.
1. Open the glove box and remove all articles from
the inside.
2. Locate the doorstop insulators on each side of the
glove box and remove them.
3. Tilt the glove box door down by squeezing on each
side of the glove box until the door can be lowered
from its track. Lower the glove box door completely.
