Power Outlet 115 Volt Alternating
Current
Your vehicle may have a power outlet that can be
used to plug in auxiliary electrical equipment
with a maximum limit of 150 watts. If you try to
use equipment that requires more than the limit, a
protection circuit will cut the power supply. To
reset the outlet, unplug the item and plug it back
in or turn the ignition to LOCK or ACCESSORY
and then back on. The power will automatically
restart when equipment that operates within
the limit is plugged into the outlet.
The power outlet is
located on the rear of
the center console.The indicator on the inner outlet face will come on
when 115 volt AC power is available. The AC
power is available when the ignition is turned to
ACCESSORY or ON, and electrical equipment
is plugged into the outlet. The AC power is
not available in the outlet when the ignition is
turned to OFF.
The power outlet is not designed for the following
electrical equipment and may not work properly
if these items are plugged into the power outlet:
Equipment with high initial peak wattage
such as: compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.
Other equipment requiring an extremely stable
power supply such as:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets,
touch sensor lamps, etc.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, defrost, defog, and ventilation of
the vehicle.
Manual Operation
9
(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise
to turn the front system off.Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature of the air owing
from the system.
Airow Mode Control:Turn the right knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airow
inside of the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of
the air to the instrument panel outlets and
half to the oor outlets. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the oor outlets.

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button on the
left knob to turn the air conditioning system on
or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator
light comes on to show that the air conditioning
has been activated. The air conditioning
compressor does not operate when outside
temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C). The indicator
light ashes three times and turns off when
outside conditions affect air conditioning operation.
This is normal.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape.
2. Select the vent mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has
escaped.
7. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is
below the outside temperature, select
recirculation mode for better cooling.This helps to reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may
cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the
inside of the vehicle has cooled, turn the
recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you might notice a small amount
of water dripping underneath the front center
and right rear of the vehicle while idling or after
turning off the engine. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the
cool window glass. This can be minimized if the
climate control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from the
windshield. Turn the right knob clockwise to select
the defog or defrost mode.

ProCarManuals.com

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn the rear window defogger on or off. The rear
window defogger stays on for about 10 minutes
after the button is pressed, before turning off. The
defogger can also be turned off by pressing the
button again or by turning off the engine. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors,
the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when the rear
window defog button is pressed.
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 slider switch in the center of the outlet, to
change the direction of the air ow. Use the
thumbwheel near the outlet to control the amount
of air ow or to shut off the airow completely.
Keep all outlets open whenever possible for best
system performance.
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 the vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors can
adversely affect the performance of the
system.
Keep the path under all seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside the vehicle
more effectively.
If fogging reoccurs while in vent or bi-level
modes with mild temperature throughout
the vehicle, turn on the air conditioner
to reduce windshield fogging.
