conditioning option, you can also control cooling.
Your vehicle also has the flow-through ventilation
system described later
in this section.

initial start-up only, if your vehicle
is equipped
with an optional engine coolant heater,
you can use it in
cold weather (around
+20°F/-8”C or lower) to improve
heater performance
on start up. Because an engine
coolant heater warms the engine coolant, your vehicles
heating system can more efficiently provide heat for the
passenger area of your vehicle. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.

days. This setting directs cool air toward your body and
warmer air toward your feet.

Air Conditioner Controls (Option)
The air conditioning system uses the same controls as
the heating system, except that the air control knob has
two extra settings, described below. For an explanation
of all the controls, see “Heater Controls’’ earlier in this
section.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or quick cool-down
on very hot days.
This setting recirculates most of the air
inside your vehicle. If it is used for long periods of time,
the air may become dry. This setting directs air through
the upper air vents.

is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle’s engine speed and power. This is normal,
because the system is designed to cycle the compressor
on and
off to keep the desired cooling and help fuel
economy.
Cooling
The air conditioner works best if you keep your
windows closed. On very hot days, open the windows
just long enough for the hot air to escape.

Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your Chevrolet’s flow-through ventilation system
supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the blower
fan is running.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
fan control knob
to the right for a few moments
before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance
