The rear window defogger will turn off about
10 minutes after the button is pressed. The
defogger can also be turned off by pressing the
button again or by turning off the engine. See
“Front Heated Windshield” earlier in this section
for more information on this button.
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 lever located in the center of each outlet
to change the direction of the airflow. Use the
thumbwheel located below the outlets to turn them
on and off.
Operation Tips
•
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
may block the flow of air into your vehicle.
•Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors 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
Your vehicle may have a passenger compartment
air filter. It is located on the passenger side
under the glove box.
The filter traps most of the pollen from air entering
the module. Like the engine’s air cleaner/filter, it
may need to be changed periodically.
