Outlet Adjustment
Use the lever located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the airow, either side-to-side or
up and down. Use the thumbwheels to open or close
the outlets to adjust the airow.
Turn the thumbwheel to the right to open the outlets
completely and allow the maximum amount of air
to enter your vehicle. Turn the thumbwheel to the left to
close the outlets and minimize the amount of air
entering the vehicle.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ow of air into your 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 your vehicle more
effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air lter may need to be replaced. For more
information, seePassenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 3-55.
Rear Climate Control System
Your vehicle has a rear climate control system. The
base model includes air outlets in the rear of the center
console for cooling and under-seat air outlets for
heating. The temperature, quantity, and air delivery
location is controlled automatically by the front climate
control system.
Some vehicles are equipped with an optional climate
control panel for the rear passenger, located on the back
of the center console.
The left knob controls the temperature of the air to the
rear passengers. Turning the knob to the left will
make the air cooler. Turning the knob to the right will
make the air warmer.
The right knob controls the air delivery to the rear
passengers. Turning the knob all the way to the left will
shut off airow to the rear passengers. Operating
with the rear air delivery off may make the entire vehicle
warm or cool less quickly. It may also increase the air
rush sound of the front system.

NO FOBS DETECTED
This message is displayed if the vehicle does not detect
the presence of a keyless access transmitter when
you have attempted to start the vehicle or a vehicle door
has just closed. The following conditions may cause
this message to appear:
Driver-added equipment plugged into the accessory
power outlet on the center console is causing
interference. Examples of these devices are cell
phones and cell phone chargers, two-way radios,
power inverters, or similar items. Try moving
the keyless access transmitter away from these
devices when starting the vehicle. In addition, PDA
devices and remote garage and gate openers
may also generate Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) that may interfere with the keyless access
transmitter. Do not carry the keyless access
transmitter in the same pocket or bag as
these devices.
The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths, and some gas
stations, have EMI elds which may interfere with
your keyless access transmitter.If moving the transmitter to different locations within the
vehicle does not help, place the transmitter in the
center console transmitter pocket with the buttons facing
forward and then press the START button.
