instrument panel GMC ENVOY 2007 Owner's Guide

H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs approximately
half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, then
directs the remaining air to the oor outlets.
A little air is directed toward the windshield and the
side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
oor outlets. Some air also comes out of the
defroster and side window outlets. The recirculation
button cannot be selected in oor mode.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
recirculation mode on or off. When this button is
pressed, an indicator light in the button will also
come on to let you know that it is activated.
Recirculation mode is used to recirculate the air
inside of your vehicle. Use this mode to help
prevent outside odors and/or dust from entering
your vehicle or to help cool the air inside of your
vehicle more quickly. Recirculation mode can be
used with vent and bi-level modes, but it cannot be
used with oor, defog or defrost modes. Defog and
defrost modes are described later in this section.If recirculation mode is selected with oor, defog, or
defrost modes, the indicator will ash three times
and then turn off indicating the selection is not
available.
You may also notice that the air conditioning
compressor will run while in recirculation mode.
This is normal and will help to prevent fogging.
If the weather is cold and damp, the system may
cause the windows to fog while using recirculation
mode. If the windows do start to fog, select defog or
defrost mode and increase fan speed.
Recirculation mode, if selected, will be cleared
when the engine is turned off.#A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to
manually turn the air conditioning system on or off.
When the system is on, the system will
automatically begin to cool and dehumidify the air
inside of your vehicle. The air conditioning
symbol will appear on the display when the air
conditioning is on and will turn off when the
air conditioning is off.

Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has the rear window defogger a
warming grid is used to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off.
An indicator light in the button will come on
to let you know that the rear window defogger
is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off
approximately 10 minutes after the button is
pressed. If you need additional warming time,
press the button again.
If your vehicle has heated mirrors, they will come
on when this button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the
side of the instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as
leaves. The heater and defroster will work
better, reducing the chance of fogging
the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set
the fan speed to maximum airow for a few
moments before driving. This helps clear
the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.

Instrument Panel Cluster
