or down buttons closest to the driver to manually increase
or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle.
«ª(Passenger’s Temperature Controls):Press
the up or down buttons closest to the passenger to
manually increase or decrease the temperature for
the front passenger. If the passenger’s climate control
system is off, pressing either of these buttons turns it on.
Manual Operation
9(Fan):Turn the left control to adjust the fan speed
manually if the automatic setting is higher or lower than
desired. The fan speed remains at this level until you
return to AUTO or adjust to a different level. In the
automatic position, the blower might go to a lower speed
during an OnStar
®session to limit the background noise.
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 position so that air is
directed to the instrument panel outlets.
*(Bi-Level):Turn the control to this position so
that the air is directed to the instrument panel outlets
and the oor outlets. The temperature of the air to
the oor will be warmer than the air to the upper outlets.
7(Floor):Turn the control to this position so that most
of the air is directed to the oor outlets with some air
directed to the outboard outlets, side window outlets,
and defroster outlet.
W(Defog):Turn the control to this position so that air
is directed between the windshield and oor outlets,
with some air going to the outboard outlets and
side window outlets. More information of defogging
can be found later in this section.
0(Defrost):Turn the control to this position so
that most of the air is directed to the windshield with
some air going to the side window outlets. More
information on defrosting can be found later in this
section.
O(On/Off):Press this button to turn the climate
control system on or off. While off, adjusting any button or
control, except recirculation and rear window defog turns
the system back on. The air inlets default to outside air

button to turn the passenger’s climate control system on
or off. Then press the up or down buttons to choose the
desired setting. Pressing the button again automatically
sets the passengers temperature to the drivers setting.

Recirculation Operation
There are three options for bringing air into the
climate control system. They are controlled by
pressing the center button on the climate control panel.
The climate control display indicates one of the following
three modes:
9(Auto Air Inlet):This mode lets the automatic
climate control system choose the best air inlet position
for cooling or warming the vehicle. To have full automatic
climate control, the fan and mode controls must be set to
the AUTO position. Generally, recirculation will only
automatically be selected on hot days.Your vehicle may have an optional Air Quality Sensor.
To activate the air quality sensor, the auto air inlet setting
must be used. For more information, see Air Quality
Sensor found later in this section.
?(Recirculation):This mode recirculates air inside
the vehicle and keeps outside air from coming into
the vehicle. It can be used to help cool the vehicle more
quickly or to prevent odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.
It is also cancelled when oor or defog mode is selected.
In some conditions using recirculation for long periods
of time can cause the air inside the vehicle to become
too dry or stuffy. To prevent this from happening,
after the air in the vehicle has cooled, select auto
air inlet or outside air.
:(Outside Air):This mode pulls fresh air from
outside the vehicle. Outside air is always selected
in defrost mode to prevent fogging.

Fuel Gage
The fuel gage shows
approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.
It works only when
the engine is on.
If the fuel supply gets low, the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) and a single chime will sound. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-53for more information.
All of the following situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly
or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank than
the gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated that the tank was half full, but
it actually took a little more or less than half the
tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status
of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used
to display warning/status messages. All messages will
appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the
instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer and
speedometer. The DIC buttons are located on the
instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC will display the information that was
last displayed before the engine was turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle system
information and the warning/status messages. The
bottom line of the DIC display shows the odometer on
the left side, the outside air temperature on the right side,
and the shift position indicator in the center. For more
information on the shift position indicator, seeAutomatic
Transmission Operation on page 2-30.

When the sport mode is active, an S will appear next
to the shift position indicator on the center of the
DIC display. When the manual mode is active, an M will
appear on the DIC display. When the normal mode is
active, only the shift position indicator will appear. While
the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is active, the
DIC will change to show the selected gear. See “Driver
Shift Control (DSC)” underAutomatic Transmission
Operation on page 2-30for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear
on the display. Be sure to take any message that
appears on the display seriously and remember that
clearing the message will only make the message
disappear, not correct the problem.
