Climate Controls
Climate Control System
The heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can
be controlled with this system.
For vehicles with remote start, the climate control
system comes on and uses the prior temperature
settings selected before exiting the vehicle.
A. TemperatureControl
B. Fan Control
C. Air Delivery Mode Control D. Air Conditioning
E. Outside Air F. Air Recirculation
G. Rear Window Defogger
9(Off): Turn the fan control to this position to turn the
fan off.
Temperature Control: Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature.
9(Fan): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the fan speed. In any setting other
than off, the fan runs continuously while the ignition is in
ON/RUN. The fan must be turned on to run the air
conditioning (AC) compressor.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
inside the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select:
H(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
)(Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and the floor outlets.
6(Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some
air directed to the windshield and side windows.
-(Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side window,
and floor outlets. In this mode, the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defog the windows faster,
turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the
warmest setting.
4-18

Black plate (19,1)Chevrolet HHR Owner Manual - 2011
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side window
and floor outlets. In this mode, the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defrost the windows faster,
turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the
warmest setting.
#(Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. An indicator light comes
on to show that the air conditioning is on.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Select
H.
2. Select
@.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
can cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in the
vehicle has cooled, turn off the recirculation by pressing
the outside air button. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned on
when the fan is off.
@(Recirculation):
Press to turn the recirculation
mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that
recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air
inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor also comes on.
Recirculation is not available in floor, defog and defrost
modes. If the recirculation button is pressed, the
indicator light flashes five times and outside air is
delivered. Operation in this mode during periods of high
humidity and cool outside temperatures can result in
increased window fogging. If window fogging is
experienced, select the defrost mode.
;(Outside Air): Press to allow outside air to circulate
through the vehicle. An indicator light comes on to show
that outside air is on.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the ignition
is in ON/RUN.
<(Rear):Press to turn the rear window defogger on
or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear
window as possible. An indicator light comes on to
show that the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger turns off approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger only runs for approximately
seven minutes before turning off.
If the vehicle speed is greater than 80 km/h (50 mph)
and the rear defogger is on, it remains on as long as the
speed is greater than 80 km/h (50 mph). The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off the engine.
For vehicles with the remote start feature, the rear
defogger automatically turns on if it is cold outside.
When the vehicle transitions out of the remote start
mode, the rear defogger turns off. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 3‑4 Notice:
Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage
the warming grid, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.Outlet Adjustment
Turn the outlets and move the outlet vanes to change
the direction of the airflow and to open and close the
outlets.
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 the 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 the vehicle
more effectively.
