Outlet Adjustment
Use the knob located in the center of the outlet,
to change the direction of the air ¯ow.
Operation Tips
·Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets on the hood 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 your vehicle more
effectively.
Rear Climate Control System
(Without Entertainment System)
Your vehicle may have a rear climate-control system
that allows the driver to adjust the fan speed or a
rear-seat passenger to set a separate temperature and
adjust the fan speed, for the rear-seating area. This
system works with the main climate-control system in
your vehicle.
This knob is located below
the main climate-control
system on the instrument
panel switchbank. Use
this knob to adjust the fan
speed for the rear-seat
passengers, from the
front-seating area.

Setting the Temperature
If the driver is adjusting the temperature, do the
following:
To increase or decrease the temperature for the entire
vehicle, use the temperature controls located on the
main climate-control panel.
If using the main climate-control panel, then the
air-conditioning system must be on to direct cooled air
to the rear of the vehicle. If it is not on, then the
temperature in the rear of the vehicle will remain at
cabin temperature.
If a rear-seat passenger is adjusting the temperature,
do the following:
Turn the right knob, located on the overhead rear-control
panel, behind the driver's seat, clockwise or
counterclockwise to raise or lower the temperature in
the rear-seating area only.
Rear Air Outlets
To increase air¯ow through the rear ¯oor outlets, place
the left bucket seat in the second row in the forward
position. For more information, see
Rear Seat Operation
on page 1-8.The outlet behind the left rear seat is the cold air return
outlet. Be sure to keep it free from obstructions.
Also, keep the area around the base of the center
instrument panel console, between and under the front
seats, free of objects that could also obstruct air¯ow
to the rear-seating area.
For more information on how to use the main climate
control system, see ªClimate Control Systemº listed
previously in this section. For information on ventilation,
see ªOutlet Adjustmentº under ªClimate Control
Systemº listed previously in this section.
