2001 BUICK LESABRE change time

In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the
fan, to avoid blowing cold air. During this delay the
system will be in FRONT defrost mode and the light in
the button will come on and stay on as long as the
display is showing the current mode, set TEMP and
FAN speed. This light will go off when the display
returns to the outside temperature. The length of the
delay depends on the engine coolant temperature and the
outside temperature. Pushing the FAN, AIR FLOW or
FRONT buttons will override this delay, turn off the
AUTO setting and change the fan speed.
Manual Operation
You may also manually adjust the air delivery or
fan speed.

direction of the airflow. The airflow choices available
are WINDSHIELD

FLOOR. If the system is set for AUTO, pressing the
AIR FLOW button will display and hold the current
airflow direction and the comfort setting. Press the AIR
FLOW up or down button again to change the direction
of the airflow.If the AIR FLOW up button is selected while in the
FRONT defrost mode, the system will direct the air
toward the windshield and the floor. If the AIR FLOW
down button is selected while in the FRONT defrost
mode, the system will direct the air toward the floor, and
the FRONT defrost mode will cancel. Notice the arrows
in the display.
OFF: If the passenger comfort control is turned on,
it can be turned off by pressing the OFF button once.
Pressing the OFF button a second time will turn off the
main system. Turning off the main system causes the fan
to turn off and the airflow to be directed toward the
floor. The system will still try to keep the interior of the
vehicle at the previous chosen comfort setting. The
outside temperature will show on the display when the
system is OFF.
The ventilation system always allows fresh air to flow
through your vehicle when the vehicle is moving even
with the system in the OFF mode.
