Use the tab located on the air outlets 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 area around the base of the
instrument panel console and air path under
the seats clear of objects to help circulate
the air inside of your vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air lter removes
certain particles from the air including pollen
and dust particles. Reductions in air ow, which
may occur more often in dusty areas, indicate that
the lter may need to be replaced. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 433for information on
how often to replace the lter.
Notice:Driving without a passenger
compartment air lter in place can cause water
and small particles, like paper and leaves, to
be pulled into your climate control system
which may cause damage to it. Make sure you
always replace the old lter with a new one.
The passenger compartment air lter is located
on the passenger side of the engine compartment
near the battery. SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 330.
