Automatic Operation
AUTO9(Automatic Fan):When this position is
selected on the fan control, the system will adjust the fan
speed. If the OnStar
®system is activated when this
position is selected, the climate control fan speed
will lower.
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan control to the AUTO position.
2. Turn the mode control to the AUTO position.
3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting
between 68°F (21°C) and 78°F (26°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. In cold weather, the system will start at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into
your vehicle until warmer air is available. The
system will start out blowing air at the oor but may
change modes automatically as the vehicle
warms up to maintain the chosen temperature
setting. The length of time needed to warm
the interior will depend on the outside temperature
and temperature of the vehicle.
4. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to stabilize in
order for the system to regulate automatically. Then
adjust the temperature as necessary to nd your
comfort setting.Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in
this section.
After your vehicle is started, the display will show the
interior temperature settings and the outside
temperature.
If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the
air conditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will
run automatically even at cool outside temperatures
in order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator light
will be lit when the system is operating automatically,
even at near freezing outside temperatures. Press
the A/C button on the fan control to turn off the A/C.
For improved window clearing performance in defog
or defrost modes, the A/C compressor will run
automatically in damp cool conditions.
3-45

h(AUTO RECIRCULATION):If the AUTO position
is selected on either the fan or mode control, the
system will automatically control the air inlet to supply
fresh outside air or recirculate the interior air to cool
the car faster. The indicator light on the recirculation
button will light whenever the system switches to
recirculation. You may force outside air by pressing the
button when the light is lit. The next time AUTO fan
or mode is selected, the air inlet will reset back to
AUTO operation.
Manual Operation
9(Fan):Turn the left knob either to the left or right to
adjust the fan speed. Turning this control completely
counterclockwise will turn on the automatic fan
operation. Turning this control to the “O” position will
turn the climate control system off. If the airow seems
low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the
passenger compartment air lter may need to be
replaced. SeePassenger Compartment Air Filter on
page 3-53.
9(Off):Turn the left control to this position to turn
the entire climate control system off.
To change the current mode, select one of the following
positions using the right control:
AUTO:Turn the control to this position to turn on the
automatic delivery mode operation.
F(Vent):Turn the control to this mode to direct air to
the instrument panel outlets.
*(Bi-Level):Turn the control to this mode to direct
approximately half of the air to the instrument panel
outlets and most of the remaining air to the oor outlets.
In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
7(Floor):Turn the control to this mode to direct most
of the air to the oor outlets with some air directed to
the side window outlets and the windshield.
The mode control can also be used to select the
oor/defog mode. Information on defogging and
defrosting can be found later in this section.

FUEL RANGE
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you can drive
without relling your fuel tank. This estimate is based on
the current driving conditions and will change if the
driving conditions change. For example, if you are
driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the display
may read one number, but if you enter the freeway,
the number may change even though you still have the
same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because
different driving conditions produce different fuel
economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better
fuel economy than city driving.
Once the range drops below approximately
40 miles (64 km) remaining, the display will
show FUEL RANGE LOW.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL
LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL
LOW” underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-76
for more information.
AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE)
This display shows the approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
This number is calculated based on the number
of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this
display was reset. To reset this display, press the
set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE)
This display shows the current fuel economy
in either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number reects only
the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and
will change frequently as driving conditions change.
Unlike average economy, this display cannot be reset.
FUEL USED
This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this display.
To reset this display, press the set/reset button. The
display will return to zero.
TIMER ON/OFF
This display can be used like a stopwatch. You can
record the time it takes to travel from one point to
another. To access the timer, press the trip/fuel button
until 00:00:00 TIMER OFF displays.
To turn on the timer, press the set/reset button until
TIMER ON displays. The timer will then start.
To turn off the timer, press the set/reset button again
until TIMER OFF displays. The timer will stop and
display the end timing value.
To reset the timer, press and hold the set/reset button
after the timer has been stopped. The display will return
to zero.

AVERAGE SPEED
This display shows the average speed of the vehicle in
either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
This average is calculated based on the various vehicle
speeds recorded since the last reset of this display. To
reset this display, press the set/reset button. The display
will return to zero.
BATTERY VOLTAGE
This display shows the current battery voltage. If the
voltage is in the normal range, the value will display. For
example, the display may read BATTERY VOLTAGE
13.2 VOLTS. If the voltage is low, the display will show
LOW. If the voltage is high, the display will show HIGH.
Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage based
on the state of the battery. The battery voltage may
uctuate when viewing this information on the DIC. This
is normal. SeeCharging System Light on page 3-61for
more information.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system,
