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 the 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 the vehicle more
effectively.

The lter removes dust and pollen from the air which is
drawn into the vehicle. Airow reduction is an indication
that the lter needs to be replaced.
The lter should be replaced as part of routine scheduled
maintenance. SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for replacement intervals. To nd out what type of lter to
use, seeMaintenance Replacement Parts on page 6-16.
