Outlet Adjustment
Use the levers located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the air¯ow. Use the thumbwheels
to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips
·
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ¯ow of air into your vehicle.
·Use of non-GM approved hood de¯ectors 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 air¯ow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air ®lter may need to be replaced. For more
information, see
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 3-35andPart A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services on page 6-4.

Rear Climate Control System
Your vehicle has a rear climate-control system that
allows the rear-seat passengers to adjust the direction
of the air¯ow and the fan speed for the rear seating
area. This system also works with the main
climate-control system in your vehicle.
The control panel for this system is located on the back
of the center console.
OFF:Turn the mode knob located on the rear climate
control panel to this position to turn off the air¯ow.
If the passenger's temperature knob located on the main
climate control panel is off, the rear climate control
system will be turned off and the settings selected for
the main climate control panel will also be selected
for the rear seat passengers.For more information on how to use the climate control
system, seeDual Climate Control System on
page 3-28. For more information on the air outlets, seeOutlet Adjustment on page 3-33.
Operation
Mode Knob:Turn the knob to direct the air¯ow in the
rear-seating area.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
G(Vent):This mode directs air to the upper outlets,
with some air directed to the ¯oor outlets.
+(Bi-Level):This mode directs half the air to the
upper outlets, and then directs the remaining air to the
¯oor outlets.
8(Floor):This mode directs the air to the ¯oor
outlets.
9(Fan):Slide this lever to the left or right, between
LO and HI, to decrease or increase the fan speed.
Be sure to keep the area under the front seats clear of
any objects so that the air inside of your vehicle can
circulate effectively. Rear Climate Control Panel

Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment ®lter. The ®lter removes certain
contaminants from the air, including pollen and
dust particles.
The ®lter is located inside the air control module, with
an access panel under the instrument panel near
the accelerator pedal.
Reductions in air¯ow, which may occur more quickly in
dusty areas, indicate that the ®lter needs to be
replaced. The ®lter also should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance. See
Part A: ScheduledMaintenance Services on page 6-4
for replacement
intervals. See your dealer for assistance when changing
the ®lter.
Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to
replace the ®lter once the old one is removed.
Steering Wheel Climate Controls
You can adjust the temperature using the steering wheel
controls.
The control for the
temperature is located on
the left side of the
steering wheel.
yTEMPz(Temperature):Press the up or down
arrow on this control to increase or decrease the
temperature.

Climate Controls Personalization
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, you
can store and recall climate control settings for the
temperature, the fan speed and the direction of
the air¯ow.
Memory buttons 1 and 2 are located on the driver's door
panel and correspond to the numbers 1 or 2 found on
the back of each remote keyless entry transmitter.
To recall the climate control settings last stored on your
transmitter, press the unlock button on your remote
keyless entry transmitter and put the ignition in ACC or
ON. The settings will be recalled.
To change the stored settings, do the following:
1. Select the desired temperature, fan speed and
air¯ow mode. If desired, a separate temperature
setting may also be selected for the front seat
passenger. For information on how to do this, see
Dual Climate Control System on page 3-28.2. Locate memory buttons 1 and 2 on the driver's
door panel.
3. Press the memory button on the door panel that
corresponds to the number on the back of the
transmitter you are programming, until you hear two
beeps. The beeps con®rm that your selection has
been saved and can now be recalled. For more
information on the memory feature, see
Memory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-51.
Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings.

Warning Lights, Gages and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause
an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you will
see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on brie¯y when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages
and warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages
shows there may be a problem, check the section that
tells you what to do about it. Follow this manual's
advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly ± and even
dangerous. So please get to know your warning
lights and gages. They're a big help.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center (DIC)
that works along with the warning lights and gages.
See
Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-53for
more information.

Instrument Panel Cluster
The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You'll know how
fast you're going, how much fuel you're using and many of the other things you'll need to know to drive safely
and economically.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have
a new odometer installed. The new one may read
the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle's
computer has stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometers
The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B.
In order to change from one mode to the other,
press the A/B portion of the TRIP button.
By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell how
many miles have been recorded on either Trip A or
Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear
to reset each trip mode.
If your vehicle is ®rst sold in the United States, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles
(1 609 km). If your vehicle is ®rst sold in Canada, the
trip odometer will return to zero after 1 999.9 km
(1,242 miles). The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets
the trip mode (A or B) that is being displayed. Each
trip mode must be reset individually.

English Metric Display
By pressing this button located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel, you can
go back and forth from
English (miles) to metric
(kilometers).
Other readings such as temperature, fuel and trip
odometer also go back and forth between English
and metric.
