Engine Exhaust
CAUTION:
Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas
carbon monoxide (CO), which you can't see or
smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death.
You might have exhaust coming in if:

Your exhaust system sounds strange
or different.

Your vehicle gets rusty underneath.

Your vehicle was damaged in a collision.

Your vehicle was damaged when driving over
high points on the road or over road debris.

Repairs weren't done correctly.

Your vehicle or exhaust system had been
modified improperly.
If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into
your vehicle:

Drive it only with all the windows down to
blow out any CO; and

Have your vehicle fixed immediately.
Running Your Engine While
You're Parked
It's better not to park with the engine running. But if you
ever have to, here are some things to know.
CAUTION:
Idling the engine with the climate control
system off could allow dangerous exhaust into
your vehicle. See the earlier Caution under
ªEngine Exhaust.º
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly
carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even
if the fan is at the highest setting. One place
this can happen is a garage. Exhaust
-- with
CO
-- can come in easily. NEVER park in a
garage with the engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a blizzard.
See ªBlizzardº in the Index.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air systems
work for you.
With these systems, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory seats and
mirrors, you can store and recall the climate control
settings for temperature, air delivery mode and fan
speed for two different drivers. The personal choice
settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used
to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock
symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed,
the climate control will adjust to the last settings of the
identified driver. The settings can also be changed by
pressing one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) located on
the driver's door. When adjustments are made, the new
settings are automatically saved for that driver.
Automatic Dual Zone Comfort
Control System
With this system, you can select different comfort
control settings for the driver and passengers.
Driver's Side Temperature Knob
The driver's side knob is used to adjust the temperature
of the air coming through the system on the driver's
side. Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower the cabin
temperature. The display will show the temperature
decreasing as you turn the knob counterclockwise.

3-3
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the cabin
temperature. The display will show the temperature
increasing as you turn the knob clockwise. When this
knob is adjusted, the word DRIVER will be displayed
under the temperature setting. If the passenger's set
temperature has not been adjusted, this knob controls
both the driver's and passenger's air temperature.
Passenger's Side Temperature Knob
The passenger's side knob can be used to change the
temperature of the air coming through the system
on the passenger's side of the vehicle. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to lower the cabin temperature.
The display will show the temperature decreasing as
you turn the knob counterclockwise. Turn the knob
clockwise to increase the cabin temperature. The display
will show the temperature increasing as you turn the
knob clockwise. When this knob is adjusted, only the
word PASS will be displayed under the temperature
setting. The temperature to the rear seat area is
controlled by using this knob.
Once this knob is used, the passenger's set temperature
will remain independent of the driver's until the ignition
has been turned off.Fan Switch
The switch with the fan symbol allows you to manually
adjust the fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan
speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.
MODE Button
Press this button to manually select the air delivery
mode to the floor, panel or windshield outlets. The
system will stay in the selected mode until the MODE
button is pressed again or the AUTO button is pressed.
Display
In full AUTO mode, the automatic climate control
system display will show the outside temperature,
labeled EXT for external temperature, and AUTO.
If you press the MODE button to select an air delivery
mode, the display will change to also show you the
current system mode. If you press the up or down
arrows on the fan switch, the display will change
to show the selected fan speed. After five seconds,
the display will change to show the EXT temperature
and the selected manual setting.

6-43 Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the
tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
The following information relates to the system
developed by the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, which grades tires by
treadwear, traction and temperature performance.
(This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.)
The grades are molded on the sidewalls of most
passenger car tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading
system does not apply to deep tread, winter
-type snow
tires, space
-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with
nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm),
or to some limited
-production tires.
While the tires available on General Motors passenger
cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these
grades, they must also conform to federal safety
requirements and additional General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
a half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
-- AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA,
A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance. Warning: The traction
grade assigned to this tire is based on straight
-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
