154 Climate Controls
The heated outside mirrors turn on
with the rear window defogger and
help to clear fog or frost from the
surface of the mirror. SeeHeated
Mirrors 045.
If equipped with a convertible top,
the rear window defogger and
heated mirrors are automatically
disabled when the convertible top is
moving or down.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp
object on the inside rear window
can damage the antenna or
defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not stick anything to the rear
window.
(/{: If equipped, press to heat
or ventilate the seat. See Heated
and Ventilated Front Seats 065. Remote Start Climate Control
Operation (If Equipped) :
If remote
start is used to start the vehicle, the
climate control system will come on,
depending on the outside
temperature. The rear window
defogger or heated outside mirrors
may come on based on cold
ambient conditions. The rear defog
indicator light may not come on
during a remote start. The heated or
ventilated seats may turn on if it is
cold or hot outside.
See Remote Vehicle Start 033 and
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
0 65, if equipped.
Sensors
The interior cabin air temperature
and solar sensor on top of the
instrument panel near the
windshield monitors the solar heat
and measures the initial interior
cabin temperature.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort. The humidity and windshield
temperature sensor is on the
windshield glass inside surface near
the rearview mirror. The automatic
climate control system uses this
sensor to receive information to
determine the need for defogging.
If any of these sensors are blocked
or covered, the automatic climate
control system may not work
properly.
There is also a sensor behind the
front bumper. This sensor reads the
outside air temperature and helps to
maintain the temperature inside the
vehicle. Any cover on the front of
the vehicle could give a false
reading in the temperature.

OnStar or connected services
cannot work unless the vehicle is in
a place where OnStar has an
agreement with a wireless service
provider for service in that area. The
wireless service provider must also
have coverage, network capacity,
reception, and technology
compatible with OnStar or
connected services. Service
involving location information about
