2007 GMC ENVOY DENALI air conditioning

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 about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets; then directs
most of the remaining air to the oor outlets. A little
air is directed toward the windshield and the
side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper vents and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the
air to the oor outlets with a little air directed to
the windshield and the side window outlets.
The recirculation button cannot be selected while
in oor mode.
@(Recirculation):Recirculation mode is used
to recirculate the air inside of your vehicle.
When this button is pressed, an indicator light in
the button will come on to let you know that it
is active. Use this mode to help prevent outside
odors and/or dust from entering your vehicle or to
help cool the air inside of your vehicle more
quickly. The air conditioning compressor will also
come on when this mode is activated. While in
recirculation mode, the windows may fog when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog,
select either the defog or defrost mode and
increase fan speed.
Defog and defrost modes are described later in

also adjusts the temperature to the rear seat
outlets.
When the temperature outside is 0°F (-18°C) or
lower, use the engine coolant heater, if the vehicle
has one, to provide warmer air, faster to your
vehicle.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air-conditioning system on or off. When
the button is pressed, an indicator light will come
on and the system will begin to cool and
dehumidify the air inside of the vehicle. You may
notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal.
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 choose from to clear fog or frost
from your windshield. 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.
Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to select one of the following modes:
-(Defog):This mode directs the air to the oor
outlets, windshield and side window outlets.
The recirculation button cannot be selected while
in defog mode.
1(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield and the side window outlets, with
only a little air directed to the oor outlets. The air
conditioning compressor may run to dehumidify
the air to prevent window fogging. The recirculation
button cannot be selected while in defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.

Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation
is active, the system will control the inside
temperature, the air delivery mode, and the
fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air outlet mode will be
automatically controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run continuously when
the outside temperature is over approximately
40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be
set to outside air. If it’s hot outside, the air inlet
will automatically switch to recirculate inside
air to help quickly cool down your vehicle.
2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 72°F
(22°C) temperature setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to adjust. Turn the
driver’s or passenger’s side temperature knob
to adjust the temperature setting as necessary.If you choose the temperature setting of 60°F
(15°C), the system will remain at the maximum
cooling setting. If you choose the temperature
setting of 90°F (32°C), the system will remain at
the maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting may not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.
Manual Operation
To change the current setting, select one of the
following:
w9x(Fan):This button allows you to manually
adjust the fan speed. Press the up arrow to
increase fan speed and the down arrow to
decrease fan speed. The display will change to
show you the selected fan speed and the driver’s
side temperature setting for ve seconds.
C(Mode):Press this button to manually change
the direction of the airow in your vehicle. Keep
pressing the button until the desired mode appears
on the display. The display will change to show
you the selected air delivery mode and the driver’s
temperature setting for ve seconds.
191

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, then
directs the remaining air to the oor outlets.
A little air is directed toward the windshield and the
side window 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. Some air also comes out of the
defroster and side window outlets. The recirculation
button cannot be selected in oor mode.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
recirculation mode on or off. When this button is
pressed, an indicator light in the button will also
come on to let you know that it is activated.
Recirculation mode is used to recirculate the air
inside of your vehicle. Use this mode to help
prevent outside odors and/or dust from entering
your vehicle or to help cool the air inside of your
vehicle more quickly. Recirculation mode can be
used with vent and bi-level modes, but it cannot be
used with oor, defog or defrost modes. Defog and
defrost modes are described later in this section.If recirculation mode is selected with oor, defog, or
defrost modes, the indicator will ash three times
and then turn off indicating the selection is not
available.
You may also notice that the air conditioning
compressor will run while in recirculation mode.
This is normal and will help to prevent fogging.
If the weather is cold and damp, the system may
cause the windows to fog while using recirculation
mode. If the windows do start to fog, select defog or
defrost mode and increase fan speed.
Recirculation mode, if selected, will be cleared
when the engine is turned off.#A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to
manually turn the air conditioning system on or off.
When the system is on, the system will
automatically begin to cool and dehumidify the air
inside of your vehicle. The air conditioning
symbol will appear on the display when the air
conditioning is on and will turn off when the
air conditioning is off.
192

If you turn the air conditioning off while in front
defrost or defog mode, the air conditioning symbol
will turn off, however, the A/C compressor will
remain on to help de-humidify the air inside
the vehicle. If one of the other modes is selected
the compressor will then turn the A/C off until
it is selected again or the AUTO button is pressed.
To avoid fogging the inside glass on rainy and
humid days at a temperature above freezing, press
the air conditioning button to run the A/C
compressor. Also it is best to avoid the use of the
recirculation mode except when maximum air
conditioning performance is needed or for short
times to avoid exterior odors.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air-conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
moisture condensing on the cool window glass.
This can be reduced if the climate control system is
used properly. You can use either defog or front
defrost to clear fog or frost from your windshield.
-(Defog):Use this setting to clear the windows
of fog or moisture. This setting will deliver air
to the oor and windshield outlets.
0(Front Defrost):Press the front defrost button
to clear the windshield and side windows of
frost or fog quickly. The system will automatically
control the fan speed if you select defrost from
AUTO mode. If the outside temperature is
40°F (4°C) or warmer, your air conditioning
compressor will automatically run to help
dehumidify the air and dry the windshield. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has the rear window defogger a
warming grid is used to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off.
An indicator light in the button will come on
to let you know that the rear window defogger
is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off
approximately 10 minutes after the button is
pressed. If you need additional warming time,
press the button again.
If your vehicle has heated mirrors, they will come
on when this button is pressed.
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 air outlets located in the center and on the
side of the instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as
leaves. The heater and defroster will work
better, reducing the chance of fogging
the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set
the fan speed to maximum airow for a few
moments before driving. This helps clear
the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.
