=REAR:Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on. It will turn off after about 15 minutes. If you
turn it on again, the rear defogger will only run for
about seven and one half minutes before turning off.
You can also turn it off by pressing the button again.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Notice: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 defogger and
the repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape,
a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid.
Outlet Adjustment
Open and close the air
outlets, or adjust the
direction of the airflow by
moving the levers in
the center of each outlet.
Operation Tips
•Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block theflow of air into your vehicle.
•Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
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.
•If the airflow seems low when the fan is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment
airfilter, if equipped, may need to be replaced. For
more information, seePassenger Compartment
Air Filter on page 3-24andPart A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services on page 6-4.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment airfilter is located
underneath your hood below the windshield wiper arm,
on the passenger’s side (below the air inlet grille) of
the vehicle.
Thefilter traps most of the pollen from the air entering
the air conditioning module. Like your engine’s air
cleaner/filter, it may need to be changed periodically.
For information on how often to change the passenger
compartment airfilter, seePart A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services on page 6-4.
