Rear Window Defogger
Some vehicles may have a rear window defogger.
to clear as much snow from the window as
possible.
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window and
will only work when the ignition is RUN.
The rear window defogger will turn off
several minutes after the button is pressed. If
turned on again, the defogger will run for several
more minutes before turning off. The defogger
can also be turned off by pressing the button again
or by turning off the engine.
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 outlets located near the center and on the
sides of the instrument panel to change the
direction of airflow.
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.

To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):Use this mode to direct air to the upper
outlets, with a little air directed to the floor outlets.
2(Floor):Use this mode to direct most of the
air to the floor outlets.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to HIGH, MED (Medium) or
LOW to increase or decrease the fan speed in the
rear-seating area. Turn the knob to OFF to turn
off the fan.Temperature Control:To increase or decrease
the temperature for the rear of the vehicle, turn the
right knob located on the climate-control panel.
The air-conditioning system on the main climate
control panel must be turned on to direct cooled air
to the rear of the vehicle. If it is not on, then the
temperature in the rear of the vehicle will remain at
cabin temperature.
Be sure to keep the area under the front seats
clear of any objects so that the air inside of your
vehicle can circulate effectively.
For information on how to use the main climate
control system, seeClimate Control System on
page 159. For information on ventilation, seeOutlet
Adjustment on page 162.
