2005 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE window

To change the current mode, select one of the following:
6(FLOOR):This mode directs most 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.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the air
to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs
most of the remaining air to the oor outlets. There is
also a small amount of air directed to the windshield and
outboard outlets (for the side windows). This mode
directs cooler air to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
?RECIRC (Recirculation):This mode keeps
outside air from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. When the button is pressed, an indicator
light will come on. The recirculation mode cannot be
used with the FRONT defrost mode.
#A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning compressor on and off. When A/C is
pressed, an indicator light in the button will come on
to let you know that air conditioning is activated. If your
climate control system is off, you may also turn it
back on in vent mode by selecting the A/C button.
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.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select A/C.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is normal.

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity,
or 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. 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.
Press one of the available mode buttons to select the
defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the oor outlets. A small amount of air is
also directed to the outboard outlets (for the side
windows). When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the defog mode.
0FRONT (Defrost):Pressing this button directs
most of the air to the windshield and the outboard outlets
(for the side windows), with some air directed to the
oor outlets. When you select this mode, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is at
or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in the FRONT defrost mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
=REAR:Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from
the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes

defogger will only run for about ve minutes before
turning off. If you maintain a speed above 30 mph
(48 km/h), the rear defogger will not turn off automatically
to help keep the rear glass clear. The defogger can also
be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off
the engine.
If your vehicle has outside heated mirrors, the mirrors will
heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defogger button is pressed.

Sensors
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation and the air inside of your vehicle, then uses the
information to maintain the selected temperature by
initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan
speed and the air delivery system. The system may
also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the
sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as
necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the
center of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.

There is also an EXT (exterior) temperature sensor
located behind the front grill. This sensor reads
the outside air temperature and helps to maintain the
temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of
the vehicle could cause a false reading in the
temperature.
