8(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to this
position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until
the windshield wipers start; then let go. The
windshield wipers will stop after one wiping cycle.
If you want additional wiping cycles, hold the lever
down longer.
Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from
seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them.
If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become damaged, get new blades.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. If
the motor gets stuck, turn the wipers off, clear away
the snow or ice, and then turn the wipers back on.

more than 15 seconds, the vehicle’s headlamps
will turn on automatically. They will turn off
15 seconds after the wipers are turned off.Windshield Washer

When you release the button, the washers will
stop, but the wipers will continue to wipe for about
three times or will resume the speed you were
using before.

Electric Power Management
This vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM), an advanced control system. It estimates
the battery’s temperature and state of charge
and then adjusts the voltage for best performance
and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you
may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be
displayed.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle.
Operation
To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs
the remaining air to the oor 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 with some air directed to the
windshield and side windows.
The left knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. Information on defogging and
defrosting can be found later in this section.
9(Fan):Turn the center knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. In any setting other than off, the fan will run
continuously with the ignition on. The fan must be
turned on to run the air conditioning compressor.
9(Off):To turn the fan off, turn the knob all the
way counterclockwise to the off position.
Temperature Control:Turn the right knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the temperature inside the vehicle.

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate control
system is used properly. There are two modes to
clear fog or frost from the windshield and side
windows. Use the defog mode to clear the windows
of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use
the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. For best results, clear all
snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.
Turn the left knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs about half of the air
to the windshield and the side window outlets and
half to the oor outlets. When you select this mode
the system runs the air conditioning compressor.
To defog the windows faster, turn the temperature
control knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield, with some air directed to the side
window outlets and the oor outlets. When you
select this mode the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defrost the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob clockwise
to the warmest setting.
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):Press the button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as
much snow from the rear window as possible. 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 turn off about
15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger will only run for about seven
minutes before turning off. If the vehicle is moving
faster than 50 mph (80 kph), the rear defogger will
stay on. 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 thumbwheels located next to and below
the air outlets to change the direction of the airow
and to open and close the outlets.
Operation Tips

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.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment lter. The lter removes certain
particles from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airow, which may occur
more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the lter
needs to be replaced early.The lter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 375for replacement
intervals. See your dealer for details on changing
the lter. To nd out what type of lter to use, see
Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts on
page 387.
To access the passenger compartment air lter
you must go through the glove box.
1. Open the glove box and remove all articles
from the inside.
2. Tilt the glove box door down by squeezing on
each side of the glove box until the door can
be lowered from its track. Lower the glove
box door.

have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem with
your regular brakes. SeeBrake System Warning
