Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling,
and ventilation for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has remote start and you want to warm
up or cool down the interior before you get in, leave your
climate control system on with the settings adjusted
where you want them. The next time the vehicle
is started with remote start, the climate control system
will come on and adjust the interior to the temperature
settings.
Operation
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs approximately half of
the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs
the remaining air to the oor outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
oor outlets with some air directed to the windshield and
side windows.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. Information on defogging and defrosting
can be found later in this section.
Recirculation mode is not allowed in this mode.
9(Fan):Turn the center knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
In any setting other than off, the fan will run continuously
with the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run
the air conditioning (AC) compressor.
3-19

9(Off):To turn the fan off, turn the knob all the way
counterclockwise to the off position.
Temperature Control:Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature inside your vehicle.
@(Recirculate):Press this button to prevent outside
air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or
cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. An indicator
light above the symbol will come on in this mode. The air
conditioning compressor also comes on. This mode is not
available for oor, defog and defrost modes. When the
recirculation button is pressed, the recirculation indicator
light will ash ve times and outside air will be delivered.
Operation in this mode during periods of high humidity
and cool outside temperatures may result in increased
window fogging. If window fogging is experienced, select
the defrost mode.
;(Outside Air):Press this button to allow outside air
to circulate through your vehicle. An indicator light above
the symbol will come on in this mode.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn the
air conditioning system on or off. When this button
is pressed, an indicator light below the symbol will come
on to let you know the air conditioning is activated.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:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select air conditioning.
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 off the recirculation
by pressing the outside air button.
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.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned on
when the fan is off.

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.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs approximately half of
the air to the windshield and the side window outlets and
half to the oor outlets. When you select this mode
the system runs the air conditioning compressor.
To defog the windows faster, turn the temperature
control knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
Recirculation mode is not available in defog 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.
To defrost the windows faster, turn the temperature
control knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
Recirculation mode is not available in defog mode.
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 in RUN.
<(Rear):Press the button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from
the rear window as possible. An indicator light below
the symbol will come on to let you know that the
rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on again,
the defogger will only run for approximately seven
minutes before turning off. If turned on again, the
defogger will only run for approximately seven minutes
before turning off. If vehicle speed is greater than
50 mph (80 km/h) and the rear defogger is active,
it will remain on as long as the speed is greater than
50 mph (80 km/h). The defogger can also be turned off by
pressing the button again or by turning off the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.

Outlet Adjustment
Rotate the outlets and move the outlet vanes to change
the direction of the airow and to open and close the
outlets.
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 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.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment lter. The lter removes certain particles
from the air, including pollen and dust particles.
Reductions in airow, which may occur more quickly in
dusty areas, indicate that the lter needs to be
replaced early.The lter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4for replacement intervals. See your
dealer for details on changing the lter. To nd out what
type of lter to use, seeNormal Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 6-13.
To access the passenger compartment air lter you
must go through the glove box.
1. Open the glove box and remove all articles from the
inside.
2. Release the glove box stops by pushing them both
outward to let the glove box drop open completely.

When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake.
The light will stay on if your parking brake does not
release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is
fully released, it means you have a brake problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. Make sure the parking brake is
fully released. You may notice that the pedal is harder
to push or, the pedal may go closer to the oor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. SeeTowing Your Vehicle
on page 4-37.
{CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working
properly if the brake system warning light is
on. Driving with the brake system warning light
on can lead to an accident. If the light is still
on after you have pulled off the road and
stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for
service.
Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
If your vehicle is equipped
with the anti-lock brake
system, the light will come

started and may stay on for
several seconds. That is
normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition the off. If the light
comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on
after driving at a speed of at least 13 mph (20 km/h),
or comes on again while you are driving, your vehicle
needs service. If the regular brake system warning light
is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have
anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes
and there is a problem with your regular brakes.
SeeBrake System Warning Light on page 3-32.
The anti-lock brake system warning light will come on
briey when you turn the ignition key to RUN. This is
normal. If the light does not come on then, have it xed
