To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the
buckle. For outboard seating positions, when
the safety belt is not in use, slide the latch plate
up the safety belt webbing. The latch plate should
rest on the stitching on the safety belt, near the
guide loop on the side wall.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provide
added safety belt comfort for older children
who have outgrown booster seats and for some
adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the
comfort guide positions the belt away from
the neck and head.
There is one guide available for each outboard
passenger position in the rear seat. Here is how to
install a comfort guide to the safety belt:
1. Remove the guide from its storage clip on the
back of the seatback.

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When
this button is pressed, an indicator light on the
button will come on to let you know the air
conditioning is activated. The air conditioning can
be selected in any mode as long as the fan
switch is on.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for the 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 outside air.
3. Select air conditioning.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is
below the outside temperature, select
recirculation mode for enhanced cooling.Using these settings together for long periods
of time may cause the air inside of the vehicle to
become too dry. To prevent this from happening,
after the air inside of the 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 the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.

seats, seeHeated Seats on page 10.

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
Use the louvers 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 vehicle that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Do not use any non-GM approved hood
de ectors that could 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
The outside air is routed through a passenger
compartment air lter before entering the vehicle.
This lter removes certain particles from the
air, including pollen and dust particles. Reductions
in air ow, 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 439for when to replace
the lter.
