Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<(Rear Defogger):Press the center of the
right control 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 turns off about 20 minutes after the
button is rst pressed if the vehicle is moving at
slower speeds. At higher vehicle speeds, the rear
defogger can stay on continuously. Each
additional press runs the defogger for about
10 minutes.
The heated outside rearview mirrors also heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defogger is on.
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 knobs located in the center of each outlet
to change the direction of the airow. Use the
thumbwheels to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
could block the ow of air into the 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 the
vehicle more effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is
at the highest setting, the passenger
compartment air lter might need to be
replaced. For more information, see
Passenger Compartment Air Filter on
page 195.
Set the climate control system to AUTO fan
and mode and then adjust the temperature
setting up or down a few degrees for
best comfort.

Rear Air Conditioning System
If your vehicle has the rear air conditioning system
it has two fan speed selectors. One fan speed
selector is located in the front overhead console
and the other is located in the headliner above the
second row seats. The rear air conditioning
system is designed to provide cooled air only.
To operate the rear system using the front control,
just turn the knob to the fan position you want.
To use the rear control, rst turn the front control
to AUX, then the rear control can be used to
increase and decrease the airow.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air lter helps remove
dust and pollen from the air entering the vehicle.
Like the vehicle’s engine air cleaner/lter, it
needs to be changed periodically. For how often
to change the passenger compartment air
lter, seeScheduled Maintenance on page 471.
The passenger compartment air lter is located
underneath the hood below the windshield
wiper arm on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 356
for more information on location.

If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they
will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to
stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will
keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.There is also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. SeeOff-Road
Driving on page 291.

Consult your dealer or a professional towing
service if you need to have your disabled vehicle

Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means towing your
vehicle behind another vehicle – such as behind a
motorhome. The two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are known as “dinghy

on the ground) and “dolly towing” (towing
your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known as a “dolly”).

(B) Tire Width:The three-digit number indicates
the tire section width in millimeters from sidewall
to sidewall.
(C) Aspect Ratio:A two-digit number that
indicates the tire height-to-width measurements.
For example, if the tire size aspect ratio is
60, as shown in item C of the illustration, it would
mean that the tire’s sidewall is 60 percent as
high as it is wide.
(D) Construction Code:A letter code is used to
indicate the type of ply construction in the tire.
The letter R means radial ply construction;
the letter D means diagonal or bias ply
construction; and the letter B means belted-bias
ply construction.
(E) Rim Diameter:Diameter of the wheel in
inches.
(F) Service Description:These characters
represent the load range and speed rating of the
tire. The load index represents the load carry
capacity a tire is certied to carry. The load index
can range from 1 to 279. The speed rating is
the maximum speed a tire is certied to carry a
load. Speed ratings range from A to Z.Tire Terminology and Denitions
Air Pressure:The amount of air inside the tire
pressing outward on each square inch of the
tire. Air pressure is expressed in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight:This means the combined
weight of optional accessories. Some examples of
optional accessories are, automatic
transmission/transaxle, power steering, power
brakes, power windows, power seats, and
air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio:The relationship of a tire’s height
to its width.
Belt:A rubber coated layer of cords that is
located between the plies and the tread. Cords
may be made from steel or other reinforcing
materials.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an
internal circuit breaker. If the wiper motor
overheats due to heavy snow, the wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and
power seats. When the current load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is xed or
goes away.
