Outlet Adjustment
To open an outlet, press on its cover. Turn the
cover to change the direction of the airflow.
Operation Tips
•
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
may block the flow of air into your vehicle.
•Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors 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.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Your vehicle may have a passenger compartment
air filter. It is located behind the glove box and
can be accessed after removing the glove
box from its housing.
The filter traps most of the pollen from air entering
the module. Like your engine’s air cleaner/filter,
it may need to be changed periodically.To change the passenger compartment air filter,
use the following steps:
1. Open the glove box halfway down.
2. Grip the glove box by both the upper and
lower sides and pull it out of its housing.

{CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do,
parts on your vehicle can break, and it
can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle.
Notice:Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they
will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to
stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will
keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.
