2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU fog light

If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the rear
defogger and heated mirrors will automatically be
turned on if it is cold outside. The indicator light will
not be on. When the vehicle transitions out of remote
start mode the rear defogger and heated mirrors will
turn off.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.
These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the thumbwheels on the air outlets, located on the
center and on the sides of the instrument panel, to
change the horizontal direction of the airow. Use the
tabs on the outlet vanes to change the vertical direction
of the airow. Use the tabs on the outlet vanes to
shut off airow to the outlets.
The two upper outlets in the center of the instrument
panel are dedicated to the rear seats. These outlets
are xed to aim airow into the rear seats to help
cool the rear occupants in hot weather. Airow can
be shut off at the upper outlets by turning the vertical
thumbwheel. The louvers are xed, do not attempt
to move them or they may break.
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 deectors may
adversely affect 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.
When an objectionable odor outside the vehicle
is encountered, use the recirculation mode, with
the temperature knob at a comfortable setting
to prevent the odor from entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system. This can be helpful when
driving through a long tunnel with poor ventilation.
However, extended usage of this mode in cold or
cool weather can cause window fogging.

Fixed Mast Antenna (MAXX Only)
The xed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever
become slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the rear quarter panel.
Backglass Antenna (Sedan Only)
The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear window
defogger, located in the rear window. Make sure that
the inside surface of the rear window is not scratched
and that the grid lines on the glass are not damaged.
If the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere
with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear
the inside rear window may damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear window defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do
not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with
metallic lm. The metallic lm in some tinting
materials will interfere with or distort the incoming
radio reception. Any damage caused to your
backglass antenna due to metallic tinting materials
will not be covered by your warranty.
Because this antenna is built into the rear window, there
is a reduced risk of damage caused by car washes
and vandals.
If adding a cellular telephone to your vehicle, and the
antenna needs to be attached to the glass, make
sure that the grid lines for the AM-FM antenna are not
damaged. There is enough space between the grid lines
to attach a cellular telephone antenna without interfering
with radio reception.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
The performance of the XM system may be affected if
the sunroof is open.
