Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It 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.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at
high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans,
trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory
power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It
can increase engine idle speed to generate more
power, whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels,
without being noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action, this action may
be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Service
Battery Charging System. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as possible.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 220.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<(Rear Defogger):Press the center of the
right control to turn the rear window defogger on or
off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the
rear window as possible. The rear window
defogger turns off about 20 minutes after the
button is rst pressed if the vehicle is moving at
slower speeds. At higher vehicle speeds, the rear
defogger can stay on continuously. Each
additional press runs the defogger for about
10 minutes.
The heated outside rearview mirrors also heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defogger is on.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet
to change the direction of the airow. Use the
thumbwheels to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
could block the ow of air into the 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 the
vehicle more effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is
at the highest setting, the passenger
compartment air lter might need to be
replaced. For more information, see
Passenger Compartment Air Filter on
page 195.
Set the climate control system to AUTO fan
and mode and then adjust the temperature
setting up or down a few degrees for
best comfort.
194

Rear Air Conditioning System
If your vehicle has the rear air conditioning system
it has two fan speed selectors. One fan speed
selector is located in the front overhead console
and the other is located in the headliner above the
second row seats. The rear air conditioning
system is designed to provide cooled air only.
To operate the rear system using the front control,
just turn the knob to the fan position you want.
To use the rear control, rst turn the front control
to AUX, then the rear control can be used to
increase and decrease the airow.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air lter helps remove
dust and pollen from the air entering the vehicle.
Like the vehicle’s engine air cleaner/lter, it
needs to be changed periodically. For how often
to change the passenger compartment air
lter, seeScheduled Maintenance on page 471.
The passenger compartment air lter is located
underneath the hood below the windshield
wiper arm on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 356
for more information on location.
