Operation Tips
After the front window is clear of ice or fog, operating in
the mixing mode between bi-level and floor will help
clear the side windows. To do this, do the following:
• Change the mode to a setting between floor
mode and bi-level mode.
• Aim the outboard panel registers toward the side
windows.
• Close the inboard panel registers.
• Operate at blower two or three.
• Adjust the temperature knob for best comfort.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
< (Rear Window Defogger): Press the button to
turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator
light above the button will come on to let you know that
the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will stay on for approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed, unless the
ignition is turned to ACC or LOCK. If turned on again,
the defogger will only run for approximately five minutes
before turning off. The defogger can also be turned
off by pressing the button again or by turning off
the engine.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
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.
