Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear
window as possible.
Press this button which
is located near the fan
control to turn the rear
window defogger on or
off. An indicator light in
the button will come on
when the rear window
defogger is working.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
The rear window defogger will turn off several
minutes after the button is pressed. The defogger
can also be turned off by pressing the button
again or by turning off the engine.
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 your warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal
or anything similar to the defogger grid.
Outlet Adjustment
Your vehicle has air outlets on the instrument
panel that allow you to adjust the direction
and amount of airflow inside the vehicle.
Move the lever on the outlet up or down to direct
the airflow. Increase or reduce the amount of
airflow by opening and closing the louvers. The
outlets can be moved side-to-side to direct
the airflow.
Operation Tips
•
Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction (such as
leaves). The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
•Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
•Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deflectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.

Electric Air Compressor
Your vehicle may have an electric air compressor.
This compressor is used to run options that
require pressurized air, such as an air horn, air
seat, 7.8L engine exhaust restrictor, or 7.8L engine
exhaust brake.
The air compressor is used when vehicles do not
have an air brake system.
The air supply for
this system must be
maintained by releasing
the drain valve to eject
any moisture that
may have built up in
the system.
It is recommended that this system be drained on
a weekly basis.
Clutch Pedal Free Travel
If you have a V8 engine and a manual
transmission, the clutch will need adjustment
when pedal free travel gets down to about 1/4 inch
(6 mm), as measured at the clutch pedal pad.
You should have 1 1/2 to 2 inches (38 to 51 mm)
of clutch pedal free travel.
If the clutch ever needs service, be sure to use
only GM clutch replacement parts.
Chassis Lubrication
Your Maintenance Schedule provides all of the
required chassis lubrication intervals and identifies
proper lubricants to use. Be sure to see the
Maintenance Schedule before performing any
chassis lubrication service. To determine location of
chassis lubrication items, use the following charts.
