Automatic Transaxle Operation
The shift lever is located on the console between
the seats.
There are several
different positions for
the automatic transaxle.
PARK (P):This position locks the front wheels. It
is the best position to use when you start the
engine because your vehicle cannot move easily.{CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle
if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P)
with the parking brake rmly set. Your
vehicle can roll.
Do not leave your vehicle when the engine
is running unless you have to. If you have
left the engine running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you are on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake
and move the shift lever to PARK (P). See
Shifting Into PARK (P) on page 120.

Outlet Adjustment
There are four main air outlets on the instrument
panel. Use the lever located in the center of
each outlet by moving it either side-to-side or up
and down, to change the direction and amount
of air ow in the vehicle. The center thumbwheel
does not control the main outlets.
Dedicated Rear Seat Air Outlet
For vehicles with this feature, the dedicated rear
seat air outlet is located in the center of the
instrument panel above the two main center
outlets. This outlet is aimed to provide comfort to
the rear seat passengers, especially while
using air conditioning in warm weather.
Use the thumbwheel in the center of the outlet to
turn the air ow on or off. This can be adjusted
to improve front seat passenger comfort if
there are no rear seat passengers. The direction
of air ow cannot be adjusted since it is directed
towards the rear seat passengers.
Do not attempt to move the horizontal vent vane,
as breakage can occur.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
can block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Do not use non-GM approved hood de ectors
as they could 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.
When an objectionable odor outside the
vehicle is encountered, use the recirculation
mode, with the temperature knob at a
comfortable setting to prevent the odor from
entering the vehicle through the ventilation
system. This can be helpful when driving
through a long tunnel with poor ventilation.
However, extended usage of this mode in cold
or cool weather can cause window fogging.

Things you put inside your vehicle can

In a trunk, put them as far forward as
you can. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.
