Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling,
and ventilation of your vehicle. In-between modes
are available by moving the right control knob between
modes with symbols. The in-between mode will be a
combination of the two modes that the control is
selected between.
Temperature:Turn the left knob on the control panel to
adjust the temperature of the air in the vehicle. Turn
the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the temperature.
#(Air Conditioning):Press the left knob on the
control panel to turn the air conditioning system on or
off. An indicator light on the button will come on to
let you know the air conditioning is activated. When the
system is on, this setting cools and dehumidies the
air entering your vehicle.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan is turned
off. If air conditioning is selected with fan off, the
indicator will ash three times and then turn off.
You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed
to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while
still maintaining the selected temperature.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.

control the fan speed. Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.

First press of this button will activate the rear window
defogger for 15 minutes and each subsequent activation
lasts 7 and one-half minutes.

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 air outlets located in the center and on the side
of your instrument panel to direct the airow.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the
direction and amount of airow inside the vehicle.
Move the louvers up or down to change the direction of
the airow. Use the thumbwheel under the outlets to
change the direction of the airow from left to right.
Operation Tips

Enable recirculation mode for maximum air
conditioning performance.
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors 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.
