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 your vehicle.
·Use of non-GM approved hood de¯ectors 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 your vehicle more
effectively.
·If the air¯ow seems low when the fan is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment
air ®lters, if equipped, may need to be replaced.

Passenger Compartment Air Filter
All models come equipped from the factory with a slot in
the ventilation system that is ready to accept passenger
compartment air ®lters. These ®lters are available for
purchase from your dealer. You will need to install two
®lters to provide the proper ®ltration.
Both outside and recirculated air ¯ows through these
®lters and removes certain contaminates including pollen
and dust particles.
Reductions in air¯ow which occur more quickly in dusty
areas, may indicate that the ®lters need to be replaced
earlier than listed in the maintenance schedule. For how
often to replace your air ®lters, see
Maintenance
Requirements on page 6-2.
The access panel for the air ®lters is behind the
glove box.To install the air ®lters, do the following:
1. Lower the glove box door, then push in the sides of
the glove box to completely lower the door to allow
access to the slot where the air ®lters will be
installed.

What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Don't let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
®lter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers,
or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by
taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have
a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your
dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.

When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect the air cleaner/®lter every 15,000 miles
(25 000 km) and replace every 30,000 miles
(50 000 km). If you are driving in dusty/dirty conditions,
inspect the ®lter at each engine oil change.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
To inspect the air cleaner/®lter remove the ®lter from
the vehicle and lightly shake the ®lter to release
loose dust and dirt. If the ®lter remains caked with dirt,
a new ®lter is required.To inspect or replace the ®lter, do the following:
1. Release the four clips
on the cover.
2. Lift the cover up.
