[:Air is directed to the floor outlets,
with some air directed to the windshield,
and side window outlets.
z: Air is directed to the windshield and
side window outlets.

time in cold or damp conditions. Using
recirculation in cold or damp conditions can
result in window fogging.

Press to turn the air conditioning on
or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the air conditioning is enabled. If the
fan is turned off, the air conditioner will not
run. The A/C light will stay on even if the

coming through the climate control system
may be warmer than the ambient
temperature. It is recommended to use auto
climate control to maintain comfort.
Rear Window Defogger

rear window defogger on or off. An indicator
light on the button comes on to show that
the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger only works when

accessory mode.
If equipped with heated outside mirrors,
press
1REAR to turn them on or off. See
Heated Mirrors 026.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object to

the rear window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not clear the inside rear window with
sharp objects.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation :
If equipped with remote start, the climate
control system may run when the vehicle is
started remotely. If equipped with heated or
ventilated seats or a heated steering wheel,
these features may come on during a
remote start. See Remote Vehicle Start 012,
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 044, and
Heated Steering Wheel 075.

into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
may adversely affect the performance of
the system.
.Keep the areas around the base of the
infotainment display and under the seats
clear to optimize air circulation.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter
reduces dust, pollen, and other airborne
irritants from outside air that are pulled into
the vehicle. Reductions in airflow, which
may occur more often in dusty areas,
indicate that the filter may need to be
replaced. See Maintenance Schedule 0316.
Caution
Driving without a passenger compartment
air filter in place can cause water and
small particles, like paper and leaves, to
be pulled into your climate control
system which may cause damage to it.
Make sure you always replace the old
filter with a new one.
The passenger compartment air filter is
located under the hood between the battery
and windshield. See Underhood
Compartment Overview 0235. To check or replace the air filter:
1. Release the four clips for the left and
right outer covers.
