Driver’s Side Temperature Lever:Raise or lower
the lever to increase or decrease the temperature
on the driver’s side of the vehicle.Passenger Side Temperature Lever:Raise or lower
the lever to increase or decrease the temperature on
the passenger side of the vehicle. This right lever
also adjusts the temperature to the rear seat outlets.
When the temperature outside is 0°F (-18°C) or lower,
use the engine coolant heater, if the vehicle has one,
to provide warmer air faster to the vehicle.
9(Fan Control):Turn clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed. If the knob is in off
mode, outside air still enters the vehicle, and is directed
based on the position of the air delivery mode knob.

Outside Air Temperature Display
A new outside temperature reading is displayed if
the vehicle has been off for more than three hours.
If the vehicle has been off for less than three hours,
the old temperature reading may be displayed because
underhood heat is affecting the true outside temperature.
Underhood heat can also affect the outside temperature
while the engine is running. It may also take several
minutes of driving before the display updates to
the actual outside temperature.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation is
active, the system controls the air delivery mode,
fan speed, and temperature inside the vehicle.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press AUTO.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning and air
inlet are automatically controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run continuously when the outside
temperature is over approximately 40°F (4°C).
The air inlet will normally be set to outside air.
If it is hot outside, the air inlet automatically changes
to recirculate inside air to help quickly cool down
the vehicle.2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 72°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for
the system to adjust. Turn the driver or passenger
side temperature knob to adjust the temperature
setting as necessary. If a temperature setting of
60°F (15°C) is chosen, the system will remain at the
maximum cooling setting. If a temperature setting of
90°F (32°C) is chosen, the system remains at the
maximum heat setting. Choosing either maximum
setting may not cause the vehicle to heat or cool
any faster.Manual Operation
9(Off):Press to turn off the entire climate control
system. Outside air still enters the vehicle, and will be
directed to the oor. The system turns on by pressing
either AUTO, air delivery mode, fan control, or by
adjusting either temperature knob.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob:Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature on the driver side of the vehicle.
The display will show the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing
toward the driver. This knob can also adjust the
passenger side temperature setting if the two
are linked.
3-23

Passenger Side Temperature Knob:Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The
display will show the temperature setting decreasing or
increasing and an arrow pointing toward the passenger.
The passenger temperature setting can be set to match
and link to the driver’s temperature setting by pressing
and holding the AUTO button for three seconds. When
adjusting the driver side temperature setting, the
passenger side temperature setting will follow and both
arrows will appear on the display. The passenger side
temperature setting also resets and re-links to the driver
side temperature setting if the vehicle has been off for
more than three hours.
w9x(Fan Control):Press the arrows to increase
or decrease the fan speed. The display shows the
selected fan speed and the driver side temperature
setting for ve seconds.

effectively.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors can
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Check with your dealer/retailer before adding
equipment to the outside of the vehicle.
