Climate Controls
Climate Control System
The heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can
be controlled with this system.
A. Air Delivery Mode
Control
B. Fan Control
C. Temperature ControlD. Air Conditioning
E. Rear Window
Defogger
F. RecirculationTo change the current mode, select one of the following:
9(Off):Turn the fan control to this position to turn
the fan off.
Temperature Control:Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature.
9(Fan Control):Turn clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed. In any setting
other than off, the fan will run continuously with
the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run the air
conditioning compressor.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the
airow inside the vehicle.
Select from the following modes:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and the oor outlets. Cooler air is directed
to the upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets. Vehicles with Air Conditioning shown,
without Air Conditioning similar
3-18

6(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side windows.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side
window, and oor outlets. To defog the windows faster,
turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the
warmest setting. In this mode, the system runs the
air conditioning compressor.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield,
with some air directed to the side window outlets and
the oor outlets. To defrost the windows faster, turn
the temperature control knob clockwise to the warmest
setting. In this mode, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
#(Air Conditioning):For vehicles with air
conditioning, press this button to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the air conditioning is on.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Select the
Hmode.
2. Select the
hmode.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air
in the vehicle has cooled, turn off the recirculation
by pressing the button again.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so a small amount of water might drip under
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned on
when the fan is off.
h(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculation
mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that
recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
3-19

The air conditioning compressor also comes on.
Recirculation is not available for oor, defog and
defrost modes. If recirculation is selected in any of
these modes, the recirculate indicator light ashes
ve times and outside air will be delivered. Operation
in this mode during periods of high humidity and cool
outside temperatures may result in increased window
fogging. If window fogging is experienced, select the
defrost mode.
Outside Air:This mode allows outside air to circulate
through the vehicle. This mode is automatically active
if recirculate is not selected. There is no button for
outside air.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the ignition
is in ON/RUN.
<(Rear):Press to turn the rear window defogger
on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear
window as possible. An indicator light comes on to show
that the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger turns off about 15 minutes
after the button is pressed. If turned on again, the
defogger only runs for about seven minutes beforeturning off. If the vehicle is moving faster than 50 mph
(80 kph), the rear defogger will stay on. The defogger
can also be turned off 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 the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal
or anything similar to the defogger grid.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the thumbwheels located next to and below the air
outlets to change the direction of the airow and to
open and close the outlets.
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 the vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors 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 the vehicle more
effectively.
