Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
•The ignition is on.
•The exterior lamps control is in DRL mode
and not in the defeat position.
When the DRL are on, only the parking lamps will
be on. The other lamps will not be on. The
instrument panel will be lit.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the
headlamps will go off, and your DRL lamps
(parking lamps) will illuminate.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control
to the off position or shift into PARK (P). The
DRL will stay off until the control is toggled again
or the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P).
This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in
the United States.

next to the exterior
lamps knob to extend it,
and then turn it to

panel brightness.
Turn the knob all the way clockwise to turn on the
interior lamps. Press the knob back into its
stored position when not in use.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will automatically come on when
a door is opened and turn off shortly after all
doors are closed.
156

Dome Lamp Override
You can use the dome
lamp override button,
located below the
exterior lamp control, to
override the automatic
operation of the
dome lamps.
To turn the automatic operation of the lamps off,
press the button. The dome lamps will remain
off while a door is open. To return the lamps to
automatic operation, press the button again.
While pressed in, this will override the illuminated
entry feature unless you use your keyless entry
transmitter to unlock the vehicle.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle is equipped with an illuminated entry
feature.
When a door is opened, the dome lamps will
come on if the dome override button is in the out
position. If the dome override button is pressed
in, the lamps will not come on. When the door is
closed, the interior lamps will remain on for a
period of 15 seconds or until the vehicle is started.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on
for a period of 40 seconds when you remove
the key from the ignition. The lamps will not come
on if the dome override button is pressed in.

Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have this feature. The front
ashtray can be placed in the instrument panel
extension at the center of the instrument panel.
Lift up on the ashtray door to open it.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle.
Never put ammable items in the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way
and let go. When it’s ready, it will pop back
out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.
Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to direct the airflow inside of your vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
159

)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, then directs
most of the remaining air to the floor outlets. Some
air may be directed toward the windshield.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the floor outlets with some air directed to the
outboard outlets (for the side windows) and some
air directed to the windshield.
The right knob can also be used to select the
defrost and defog modes. Information on defogging
and defrosting can be found later in this section.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.If your vehicle has air conditioning, your heating/air
conditioning controls will look like this:
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.
A/C (Air Conditioning):This setting will begin
to cool and dehumidify the air inside of your
vehicle.
MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning):Turn the
right knob to MAX A/C for maximum cooling.
This setting cools the air the fastest, by
recirculating the inside air.

Rear Window Defogger
Some vehicles may have a rear window defogger.
to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be sure
to clear as much snow from the window as
possible.
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window and
will only work when the ignition is RUN.
The rear window defogger will turn off
several minutes after the button is pressed. If
turned on again, the defogger will run for several
more minutes before turning off. The defogger
can also be turned off by pressing the button again
or by turning off the engine.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the outlets located near the center and on the
sides of the instrument panel to change the
direction of airflow.
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 your 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
your vehicle more effectively.

Rear Air Conditioning and
Heating System
Your vehicle may have a rear heating and
air-conditioning system. This system regulates the
temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery for
the rear-seat passengers only. It also works with
the main climate-control system in your vehicle.
Use this control panel when you would like to
maintain a separate temperature setting. Adjust the
direction of the airflow or adjust the fan speed
for the rear seat passenger(s).If your vehicle has a 135 inch (343 cm) wheelbase,
a rear control panel for this system is located in
the second row behind the driver in the rear
of your vehicle. A rear seat passenger can use
this control panel to personally adjust the
temperature, the direction of the airflow and the
fan speed for the rear seating area.
The fan knob located on the front climate control
panel must be turned to REAR CNTL to allow a rear
seat passenger to use the control panel in the rear
seating area. Performing this action disables the
front control panel. To return control to this panel,
move the fan knob out of REAR CNTL.
Turn the center knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the
airflow in the rear seating area.

To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):Use this mode to direct air to the upper
outlets, with a little air directed to the floor outlets.
2(Floor):Use this mode to direct most of the
air to the floor outlets.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to HIGH, MED (Medium) or
LOW to increase or decrease the fan speed in the
rear-seating area. Turn the knob to OFF to turn
off the fan.Temperature Control:To increase or decrease
the temperature for the rear of the vehicle, turn the
right knob located on the climate-control panel.
The air-conditioning system on the main climate
control panel must be turned on to direct cooled air
to the rear of the vehicle. If it is not on, then the
temperature in the rear of the vehicle will remain at
cabin temperature.
Be sure to keep the area under the front seats
clear of any objects so that the air inside of your
vehicle can circulate effectively.
For information on how to use the main climate
control system, seeClimate Control System on
page 159. For information on ventilation, seeOutlet
