0(Defrost):This mode clears the windshield of fog
or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshieldand side window outlets. When selected, the systemautomatically turns off recirculation and runs theair conditioning compressor, unless the outsidetemperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannotbe selected while in the defrost mode. Do not drivethe vehicle until all the windows are clear.
For professional vehicles, air will be allowed to flowthrough the rear outlets. For quicker defrost, press theAUX button on the front climate control system sothat the light is not lit.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to turn the air
conditioning system on or off and override the automaticsystem. When in AUTO, the air conditioning compressorcomes on automatically, as necessary. To avoidwindow fogging on rainy and humid days attemperatures above freezing, run the air conditioning.
The air conditioning system removes moisture fromthe air, so a small amount of water may drip under thevehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.This is normal.
:(Outside Air):Press to turn the outside air mode
on or off. An indicator light comes on to show it ison. Air is pulled from outside the vehicle.
Pressing?will cancel this mode.
?(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light below the buttoncomes on to show that this mode is on. This moderecirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside thevehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air andodors from entering the vehicle. This mode cannot beselected while in the defog or defrost modes. If you try toselect the recirculation mode, the indicator lightflashes three times and turns off.
Operation in this mode during periods of high humidityand cool outside temperatures may result in increasedwindow fogging. If window fogging is experienced, selectthe defrost mode.
AUX:For vehicles with a rear climate control system,press to turn the rear climate control fan on for automaticoperation. After the AUX button is pressed, the indicatorlight comes on. Press the button again to turn theauxiliary fan off. SeeRear Climate Control System onpage 4-42.
PASS (Passenger Climate Control):Press to turn thepassenger climate control systems on or off. Whenthe passenger climate control system is on, thepassenger temperature setting is displayed. Thetemperature selected by the front passenger alsocontrols the rear system air temperature unless the rearseat passengers select their own comfort setting.

There is also an interiortemperature sensorlocated next to the steeringwheel that measures thetemperature of the airinside the vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor locatedbehind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside airtemperature and helps maintain the temperatureinside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehiclecould cause a false reading in the displayedtemperature.
In order to prevent false temperature readings atstartup, the displayed temperature will not change untilthe following occurs:
•Vehicle speed is above 16 km/h (10 mph) for
5 minutes.
•Vehicle speed is above 51 km/h (32 mph) for 2 and
a half minutes.
The climate control system uses the information fromthese sensors to maintain your comfort setting byadjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and the airdelivery mode. The system may also supply coolerair to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. Therecirculation mode will also be used as needed tomaintain cool outlet temperatures.
Outlet Adjustment
For the front outlets, use the thumbwheel located beloweach outlet to change the direction of the airflow. Use thethumbwheel located next to the outlets to shut the airflowor to open the outlets and re-direct the air.
For the rear outlets, slide the lever left or right and up ordown 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 windshield that mayblock 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 moreeffectively.

FUEL RANGE
This display shows the approximate number ofremaining kilometers (km) or miles (mi) you can drivewithout refilling the fuel tank. This estimate is based onthe current driving conditions and will change if thedriving conditions change. For example, if you aredriving in traffic and making frequent stops, the displaymay read one number, but if you enter the freeway,the number may change even though you still have thesame amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is becausedifferent driving conditions produce different fueleconomies. Generally, freeway driving produces betterfuel economy than city driving.
Once the range drops below an estimated 64 km(40 miles) remaining, the display will show FUELRANGE LOW.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOWmessage will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVELLOW” underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67for more information.
