Remote Start Climate Control Operation
If your vehicle has remote start and it is activated,
the climate control system heats and cools the
inside of the vehicle using the previous system
settings before the vehicle was turned off.
The climate control knobs will remain active during
a remote start. However, the climate control
buttons will be inactive until the ignition is turned
on by the key. If the fan knob is left in the OFF
position, the climate control system will not operate
during remote start.
With the automatic climate control system, the
climate control displays “RS” in place of the
temperature to indicate that remote start is
activated. For best performance, turn both the fan
and mode knobs to AUTO. If the temperature
is cold enough and the mode knob is set to AUTO,
the system begins in defrost to clear the windows.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the lever located in the center of each outlet
by moving it either side-to-side or up and
down, to change the direction and amount of
airflow in the vehicle.
Operation Tips
• Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
may block the flow of air into your vehicle.
• Do not use non-GM approved hood deflectors
as they could 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.
• When an objectionable odor outside the
vehicle is encountered, use the recirculation
mode, with the temperature knob at a
comfortable setting to prevent the odor from
entering the vehicle through the ventilation
system. This can be helpful when driving
through a long tunnel with poor ventilation.
However, extended usage of this mode in cold
or cool weather can cause window fogging.
