the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps
after only three minutes.
Head-Up Display (HUD)
{CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright or too high in
your ®eld of view, it may take you more time
to see things you need to see when it's dark
outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim
and placed low in your ®eld of view.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display
(HUD), you can see the speedometer reading (in English
or metric units), transaxle positions, compass direction,
outside air temperature, and a brief display of the
current radio station or CD track, displayed ªthroughº
the windshield.
English or metric units selection is done through the
trip computer in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See
DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-45for more
information.
3-19

The HUD will ªrememberº the last display format
selected. When the vehicle is started if the last format
displayed was Format One or Format Three, then
Format One will be displayed.
If the last format was Format Two, then Format Two
will be displayed.
The HUD will automatically dim and brighten to
compensate for outside lighting.
The HUD display can temporarily light up depending on
the angle and position of the sunlight on the display.
This is normal and will change when the angle of
the sunlight on the HUD display changes.
Polarized sunglasses could also make the HUD image
harder to see.
Care of the HUD
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or ®lm that reduces the sharpness or clarity
of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry
it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the
cleaner could leak into the unit.
If You Can't See the HUD Image When
the Ignition Is On
·Is anything covering the HUD unit?
·Is the HUD dimmer setting bright enough?
·Is the HUD image adjusted to the proper height?
·Are you wearing polarized sunglasses?
·Still no HUD image? Check the fuse in the
instrument panel fuse block. See
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-99.
If the HUD Image Is Not Clear
·Is the HUD image too bright?
·Are the windshield and HUD lens clean?
The windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
need a new windshield, be sure to get one designed for
HUD. If you don't, the HUD image may look blurred
and out of focus.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
Manual Climate Control System
The climate control system allows you to manually
control the heating, cooling and ventilation for the vehicle.
Fan
9
(Fan):Turn the knob by this symbol, located on
the left side of the climate control panel, clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.During the highest fan speed selections, the fan speed
will be temporarily reduced between the transition to a
new mode. The fan will resume the original speed when
the transition to the new mode is complete.
9(Off):Turn the knob to this position to turn the
fan off.
Mode
Turn the middle knob to select the following modes:
H(Vent) Outside Air:This mode directs outside air
to the instrument panel outlets. If you are in city traffic,
and the vehicle is stopped and idling, or the weather is
hot, you may switch from this mode to the recirculation
mode. To prevent the air inside the vehicle from
becoming stale, be sure to return to the vent mode
periodically.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to the
instrument panel outlets, and then directs the remaining
air to the ¯oor outlets. Some air may be directed toward
the windshield. Slightly cooler air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets and warmer air is directed to
the ¯oor outlets.
3-25

Temperature
The knob on the right of the climate control panel is the
temperature adjustment that can be used with any of
the climate control modes.
Turn the knob clockwise for warmer settings and
counterclockwise for colder settings.
Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioner):Press this button on the climate
control panel to turn the air-conditioning system on
or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator light to the right
of the button will come on to let you know that A/C is
active. The instrument brightness control may have to be
adjusted to the highest setting during the daytime in
order to see the indicator lamp.
On hot days during initial start-up, 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.For quicker cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the vent/outside air mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
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 your vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, select the vent mode
once the interior of the vehicle is cooled.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
3-27

Outlet Adjustment
Rotate and turn the air
outlets, located in the
middle and at each
outboard side of the
instrument panel,
to adjust the direction
of the air¯ow.
See
Instrument Panel Overview on page 3-2for
additional information on location.
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 ®lter
may need to be replaced. See ªPassenger
Compartment Air Filterº following, for more
information on this ®lter.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air ®lter is located
underneath the inlet grille, which is located under
the passenger side windshield wiper arm.
The ®lter traps most of the pollen from entering the
climate control system. Similar to the engine's air ®lter,
it may need to be changed periodically to insure
system performance. See
Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services on page 6-4for information
on scheduled changes for this ®lter.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light
If your vehicle has the
Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), this light will come
on when your engine is
started and may stay on
for several seconds.
That's normal.
If the ABS warning light comes on and stays on, there
may be a problem with the anti-lock portion of the brake
system. If the brake system warning light is not on,
you still have brakes, but you don't have anti-lock
brakes. See
Brake System Warning Light on page 3-36.If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. If the light
comes on when you're driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on,
or comes on again while you're driving, your vehicle
needs service. If the regular brake system warning light
isn't on, you still have brakes, but you don't have
anti-lock brakes. If the brake system warning light is
also on, you don't have anti-lock brakes and there's a
problem with your regular brakes. See
Brake System
Warning Light on page 3-36.
The anti-lock brake system warning light will come on
brie¯y when you turn the ignition key to RUN. This
is normal. If the light doesn't come then, have it ®xed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
