Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to operate your comfort
controls. Your comfort control system uses
ozone-friendly
R- 134a refrigerant.
With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your Buick. Your vehicle also has a
flow-through ventilation system described later in
this section.
Personal Choice Comfort Controls
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings for temperature, air delivery mode, fan and passenger climate control
(ordoff) status. The Personal Choice settings recalled
are determined by the transmitter used to enter the
vehicle. After the
UNLOCK button of a remote keyless
entry transmitter is pressed, and the ignition is in
RUN,
the climate control will adjust to the last settings of the
identified driver. The settings can also be changed by
briefly pressing one of the
MEMORY seat switches
located on the driver’s door panel. When adjustments
are made, the new settings
are automatically saved for
the driver.
Dual Automatic ComforTemp Climate Control
Your Buick has the dual automatic comfortemp climate
control system. The following information tells you how
it works.
You will hear a beep each time a button is pushed and a
small light on the button will indicate which buttons are
active. The lights are on all buttons except
TEMP, FAN
and
AIR FLOW. The display will show fan speed,
comfort level setting and airflow direction for a few seconds whenever any button, except for the rear
defog, is pushed, and then it will display the outside
temperature. The outside temperature reading is most
accurate when the vehicle is moving.
During stops, when driving slow, or when the engine is
first started after a short trip, the outside temperature
reading can be affected by road or engine heat. In order
to ensure proper automatic climate control operation, the outside temperature display may not update as quickly
as expected.

Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen
a
clean, soft cloth in a rnild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Heated Backlite Antenna
Your AM-FM antenna is integrated with your rear
window defogger, located in the rear window. Be sure
that the inside surface of the rear window is not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside
of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that it sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio’s
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it means a defogger grid line has been damaged and must be repaired. (Your
radio is not at fault.)
If you choose to add a cellular telephone to your Buick.
and the antenna needs to be attached to the glass,
be sure that
you do not damage the grid lines for the
AM-FM antenna.
