Operation
9
(Fan):Move the lever away from OFF to turn the
system on. Slide the top right lever to the left or right to
increase or decrease the fan speed.
If the air¯ow seems low when the fan is at the highest
setting, the passenger compartment air ®lter, if
equipped, may need to be replaced. For more
information, see
Passenger Compartment Air Filter on
page 3-23andShort Trip/City Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-7.
Slide the top left lever to the left or right to direct the
air¯ow inside of your vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs most of the air to the
instrument panel outlets, and then directs the remaining
air to the ¯oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs half of the air to the
¯oor outlets with some air directed to the outboard
outlets (for the side windows) and some air directed to
the windshield.
This lever can also be used to select defog or defrost
mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can
be found later in this section.
:(Outside Air):Slide the lower right lever to the
right for outside air. With the lever in this position,
outside air will circulate throughout your vehicle.
?(Recirculation):Slide the lower right lever to the
left for recirculated air. With the lever in this position
outside air and odors can be prevented from entering
your vehicle and also helps heat or cool the air
inside your vehicle more quickly.
If the lever is in the middle of the two positions, you will
have both outside and recirculated air inside your
vehicle.
If you are in city traffic, your vehicle is stopped and
idling or the weather is hot, the system may be switched
from the outside air mode to the recirculation mode.
To help prevent the air inside of your vehicle from
becoming too stale, be sure to return to outside air
periodically.

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 is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment
air ®lters, if equipped, may need to be replaced. For
more information, see ªPassenger Compartment
Air Filterº following and
Short Trip/City Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-7.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
All models come equipped from the factory with a slot in
the ventilation system that is ready to accept passenger
compartment air ®lters. These ®lters are available for
purchase from your dealer. You will need to install
two ®lters to provide the proper ®ltration.
Both outside and recirculated air ¯ows through these
®lters and removes certain contaminates including pollen
and dust particles.
Reductions in air¯ow which occur more quickly in dusty
areas, may indicate that the ®lters need to be replaced
earlier than listed in the maintenance schedule. For how
often to replace your air ®lters, see
Maintenance
Requirements on page 6-2.
The access panel for the air ®lters is behind the
glove box.

means you need to check
your engine oil level
right away.
For more information, see
Oil Pressure Light on
page 3-36.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 5-12for
location of engine air cleaner/®lter.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect the air cleaner/®lter every 15,000 miles
(25 000 km) and replace every 30,000 miles
(50 000 km). If you are driving in dusty/dirty conditions,
inspect the ®lter at each engine oil change.
How to Inspect the Engine Air

To inspect the air cleaner/®lter remove the ®lter from the
vehicle and lightly shake the ®lter to release loose
dust and dirt. If the ®lter remains caked with dirt, a new
®lter is required.
To inspect or replace the ®lter, do the following:
1. Release the four clips
on the cover.
2. Lift the cover up.
