To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly:
1. Start your engine and turn the dimmer knob to the
desired HUD image brightness.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
the ambient light conditions in the direction your
vehicle is facing and where you have the HUD
dimmer knob set. If you are facing a dark object or a
heavily shaded area, your HUD may anticipate that
you are entering a dark area and may begin to dim.
2. Adjust the driver's seat. If you change your seat
position later, you may have to readjust your HUD.
3. Press the UP or DN buttons until the HUD image is
easy to see and then press the DN button until the
HUD image is as low as possible, but, remains in full
view straight ahead near the front bumper.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down,
not side
-to-side.
4. To turn the image off, turn the dimmer knob
counterclockwise to OFF.
If the sun comes out or it becomes cloudy, you may need
to adjust the HUD brightness again using the dimmer
knob. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image
harder to see.When you first start the vehicle the display will show
BUICK and the Buick logo for a few seconds. If it is
cold outside, this display may stay on for up to a minute.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it.
Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the
cleaner could leak into the unit.
If the ignition is on and you can't see the HUD image,
check one of the following:

The HUD unit is covered,

the HUD dimmer knob is adjusted correctly,

the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height,

ambient light (in the direction your vehicle is facing)
is low, or

a fuse is blown. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in
the Index.
Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the HUD
system. If you ever have to have your windshield
replaced, be sure to get one that is designed for HUD or
your HUD image may look blurred and out of focus.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you.
With this system, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has
a flow
-through ventilation system described later in
this section.
Dual Manual Comfort Control
Fan Knob
The left knob is used to select the force of air you want.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase fan speed and
counterclockwise to decrease fan speed. The fan must be
turned on for the air conditioning compressor to operate.Temperature Knob
The center knob controls the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise
(toward the red area) for warmer air. Turn the knob
counterclockwise (toward the blue area) for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob is used to select and determine the
direction of the air flowing into the vehicle.
(Upper): This setting directs air through the
instrument panel outlets and the rear console outlets.
(Bi-Level): This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cooler air is directed toward your
upper body through the front instrument panel outlets
and the rear console outlets, while warmed air is
directed through the heater ducts at your feet.
(Lower): This setting brings in most of the air
through the floor ducts. It is also used to send air to the
rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the front seats
free of objects that could obstruct airflow to the rear of
the vehicle.

3-3
(Defog): This setting directs air to the windshield
and through the floor ducts. This mode is particularly
useful during cold or inclement weather because of your
vehicle's larger windshield area.
(Defrost): This setting directs most of the air to the
windshield and side window vents.
Mode Buttons
(Recirculation): Press this button (the light will
glow) to recirculate the air inside of your vehicle and to
limit the amount of outside air and/or odors entering
the vehicle.
Press this button again (the light will go off) to send
outside air into your vehicle. Using this setting while
trying to defrost or defog the windows will help clear
the vents of moisture. When the defog, defrost or lower
setting is selected, the system will automatically go to
outside air mode.
Operating the Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system in the recirculation mode may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows when the weather
is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the HVAC
system to either the defog or defrost mode and increase
the fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows,
operate the HVAC system in the outside air mode.Air Conditioning
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows long
enough to let hot, inside air escape. For all settings,
adjust the temperature knob and fan speed as desired.
To get maximum cooling or a quick cool
-down on
very hot days, press the A/C and recirculation buttons
(the lights will glow) and turn the temperature knob
counterclockwise (toward the blue area). Then, adjust
the mode knob to direct the air to the desired location.
This setting should not be used for long periods of time
because the air may become too cold and dry.
Push the A/C button again (the light will go off) to turn
off the air conditioning.
When the air conditioner compressor is on, you may
sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle's engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system is
designed to help fuel economy while it maintains the
desired cooling level.
The air conditioner removes moisture from the air, so
you may sometimes notice water dripping from under
your vehicle's engine compartment when it is idling or
after it has been turned off. This is normal.

3-4
Heating
Turn the temperature knob clockwise (toward the red
area) to warm the air.
In the lower mode, outside air will be brought in and
sent through the floor outlets. The heater works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.
The bi
-level setting is designed for use on sunny days
when the air is only moderately warm or cool. On days
like these, the sun may adequately warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
For the best results, move the temperature knob to the
middle position, and then adjust it for comfort.
Your vehicle has a computer controlled transaxle
designed to warm up the engine faster when the outside
temperature is 35
F (2
C) or colder. You may notice
that the transaxle will shift at a higher vehicle speed
until the engine is warmed up. This is a normal
condition designed to provide heat to the passenger
compartment and defrost the windows more quickly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an engine coolant heater
and you use it during cold weather, 0
F (
-18
C) or
lower, your heating system will provide heat more
quickly because the engine coolant is already warmed.
See ªEngine Coolant Heaterº in the Index.Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows.
To rapidly defrost the windshield, turn the temperature
knob all the way clockwise (to the red area) and turn the
mode knob to defrost. Adjust the fan to the highest speed.
To keep the windshield clear and bring in heated air
through the heater ducts, turn the mode knob to defog.
When the temperature outside is above freezing, the air
conditioner compressor will run in these settings to help
remove moisture from the air.
Your vehicle is equipped with side window defogger
vents located on the top of the instrument panel. For
additional side window defogging, turn the mode knob
to the bi
-level setting and adjust the fan to the highest
speed. Aim the side vents on the instrument panel
toward the side windows. For increased airflow to the
side vents, close the center vents.
Operating the HVAC system in the recirculation mode may
cause fogging of the vehicle's windows when the weather is
cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the HVAC system to
either the defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
To avoid re
-fogging of the windows, operate the HVAC
system in the outside air mode.
For additional information, refer to ªRecirculationº
earlier in this section.
