system first and then connected to
the vehicle before it can be used.
See the cell phone manufacturer's
user guide for Bluetooth functions
before pairing the cell phone. If a
Bluetooth phone is not connected,
calls can be made using OnStar
®
Hands‐Free Calling, if available.
Refer to the OnStar Owner's Guide
for more information. The pairing process can be started
by using the voice recognition
system or the controls on the
infotainment system.
Pairing information:
.Up to five cell phones can be
paired to the Bluetooth system.
.The pairing process is disabled
when the vehicle is moving.
.The Bluetooth system links with
the first available paired cell
phone in the order the phone
was paired.
.Only one paired cell phone can
be connected to the Bluetooth
system at a time.
.Pairing should only need to be
completed once, unless changes
to the pairing information have
been made or the phone is
deleted.

Climate Controls 8-3
Press AUTO to return to automatic
operation and the air conditioner
runs as needed. When the indicator
light is on, the air conditioner runs
automatically to cool the air inside
the vehicle or to dry the air needed
to defog the windshield faster.
h(Recirculation):Press to turn
on recirculation. An indicator light
comes on. Air is recirculated to
quickly cool the inside of the vehicle
or prevent outside air and odors
from entering.
Rear Window Defogger
=(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off.
The rear window defogger
turns off automatically after about
10 minutes. If turned on again, it
runs for about five minutes before
turning off. At higher speeds, the
rear window defogger may stay on
continuously. For vehicles with heated outside
rearview mirrors, they turn on with
the rear window defogger and help
to clear fog or frost from the surface
of the mirror. See
Heated Mirrors on
page 2‑11.
Notice: Do not try to clear frost
or other material from the inside
of the front windshield and rear
window with a razor blade or
anything else that is sharp. This
may damage the rear window
defogger grid and affect your
radio's ability to pick up stations
clearly. The repairs wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.
Sensors
The solar sensor located on top of
the instrument panel near the
windshield monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system
uses the sensor information to
adjust the temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the
automatic climate control system
may not work properly.
