The exterior lamps control operates the following
systems:
·Headlamps
·Taillamps
·Parking Lamps
·License Lamps
·Sidemarker Lamps
·Instrument Panel Lights
·Interior Courtesy Lamps
O(Fog Lamp Indicator Light):This light illuminates
when the fog lamps are turned on. See
Fog Lamps
on page 3-15for more information.
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System): Turning the
exterior lamps control to this position activates the
automatic headlamp system. See
Automatic Headlamp
System on page 3-14for more information.
;(Parking Lamps): Turning the exterior lamps
control to this position turns on the parking lamps,
license plate lamps, the sidemarker lamps and the
instrument panel lights.
2(Headlamps): Turning the exterior lamps control
to this position turns on the headlamps, together with the
previously listed lamps and lights.
Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on, the driver's door
is open and your ignition is in OFF or ACCESSORY.
To turn the tone off, turn the knob all the way
counterclockwise. In the automatic mode, the headlamps
turn off once the ignition key is in OFF.
3-13

There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so
that driving under bridges or bright overhead street
lights does not affect the system. The DRL and
automatic headlamp system will only be affected when
the light sensor sees a change in lighting lasting
longer than the delay. See
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 3-14for more information.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
off. Then start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp
system will stay off until you release the parking brake,
or until you shift out of PARK (P).
You may be able to turn off your automatic headlamp
system. See
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) on
page 3-14for more information.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you
leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute
for the automatic headlamp system to change to
DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness control is in
the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Brightness
on page 3-16for more information.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
Use your fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your ignition must be in RUN for your
fog lamps to work.
-(Fog Lamps): Press this button located on the
exterior lamps control to turn the fog lamps on or off.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you turn on the
high-beam headlamps. When the high beams are turned
off, the fog lamps will come on again.
O(Fog Lamp Indicator Light): This light located on
the exterior lamps control illuminates when the fog
lamps are turned on.
3-15

Press this button on the fan knob to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light on the button will
come on to let you know the recirculation mode
is activated.
Recirculation is only available in the bi-level and vent
modes. If you push the recirculation button while
the system is in any other mode, the light on the button
will ¯ash to indicate that recirculation is not available.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel is used to direct the
air¯ow inside your vehicle. Turn the knob to select
one of the following modes:
H(Vent):Select this mode to direct air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level): Select this mode to direct approximately
half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and the
remaining air to the ¯oor outlets and the defroster
and side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the ¯oor outlets.
6(Floor): Select this mode to direct air to the ¯oor
outlets. Recirculation does not work in this mode.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate control
system is used properly. There are two modes to clear
fog or frost from your windshield and side windows.
Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog
or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost
mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before defrosting.
/(Floor/Defog): This mode directs half of the air
to the windshield and the side window outlets and the
other half to the ¯oor outlets. When you select this
mode, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.
0(Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side window
outlets and the ¯oor outlets. When you select this
mode, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.
3-21

1(Maximum Defrost):This mode directs most of
the air to the windshield, with some air directed to
the side window outlets and the ¯oor outlets. The rear
window defogger and heated outside mirrors will turn on,
and the fan speed will be at the highest setting (5).
The temperature will be at the hottest setting also.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.
If this mode was selected when you turn your vehicle
off, the warmest temperature and highest fan speed will
be restored when the vehicle is started, regardless of
the temperature and fan setting.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is on.
=(Rear): Press this button on the right knob to turn
the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light
on the button will come on to let you know that the rear
window defogger is activated. When the rear defogger button is pressed, the outside
heated mirrors will warm to help clear any fog or
frost from the surface of the mirrors.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window may damage the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear
window with sharp objects.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the levers located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the air¯ow.
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.
