Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have an ashtray and a cigarette
lighter located in the center floor console. See
Instrument Panel Overview on page 3-4. To open the
removable ashtray, flip open the top.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other ammable
items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other
smoking materials could ignite them and possibly
damage your vehicle. Never put ammable items in
the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way and let
it go. When it’s ready, it will pop back out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back away
from the heating element when it is hot. Damage
from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating
element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With these systems, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.
If your vehicle does not have air conditioning, the
controls will look like this:
Turn the mode knob on the far right clockwise
or counterclockwise to direct the airflow inside of
your vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
9(Off):This setting turns the system off.
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel vents.Vehicles Without Air Conditioning
3-20

)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to the
instrument panel vents, then directs the remaining
air to the floor vents. Cooler air is directed to the upper
vents and warmer air to the floor vents.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
floor vents. Use this mode to send air to the rear of the
vehicle. Keep the area under the front seats free of
objects that could obstruct airflow to the rear of
the vehicle.
The mode knob can also be used to select the defrost
mode. For more information, see “Defogging and
Defrosting” later in this section.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
To increase airflow, turn the knob clockwise. To
decrease airflow, turn it counterclockwise. To turn the
fan off, turn the mode knob on the far right
counterclockwise to the off position.
Temperature Knob:Turn the middle knob located
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the temperature inside of your vehicle. Turn the
knob toward the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob
toward the blue area for cooler air.If your vehicle has air conditioning, the controls will look
like this:
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
<(Maximum Air Conditioning):Turn the right knob
to this setting for maximum cooling. This setting puts
the system in recirculation mode and helps to maximize
your air conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s
fuel economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest.
Y(Air Conditioning):This setting is used for
normal cooling on hot days. It cools outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel vents.
)(Bi-Level Air Conditioning):This setting divides
airflow between the floor vents and instrument panel
vents. The air conditioning compressor will cycle
continuously in this setting as long as the outside
temperature is warm enough to activate the compressor.Vehicles With Air Conditioning

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find
a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You
can avoid these problems by braking — if you can stop
in time. But sometimes you cannot; there is not room.
That is the time for evasive action — steering around
the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes.
SeeBraking on page 4-5. It is better to remove as much
speed as you can from a possible collision. Then
steer around the problem, to the left or right depending
on the space available.An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, you
can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without
removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer
quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving
at all times and wear safety belts properly.

Priming the 6.6L DURAMAX®Diesel
Engine
If your vehicle is equipped with the 6.6L DURAMAX®
diesel engine, it has a priming pump which is part of the
engine mounted fuel filter. The vent valve and the
fuel filter primer pump are located on top of the fuel filter
housing. The priming pump is hand operated and is
designed to bring fuel to the engine to eliminate any air
that may be in the fuel lines.
To prime the 6.6L DURAMAX
®diesel engine,
do the following:
1. Make sure there is fuel in the tank.
2. Make sure the fuel filter had been installed and
properly tightened.
3. Make sure the fuel lines are properly connected
and the fuel filter is cool enough to touch.4. Remove any dirt from the fuel filter head and vent
valve by wiping with a cloth.
5. Open the fuel filter vent
valve by turning the
screw counterclockwise
several full turns.
