2007 GMC YUKON air condition

H(Vent):This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air
to the instrument panel outlets and to the oor
outlets. The ow can be divided between vent and
oor outlets depending upon where the knob is
placed between the settings. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and 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, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
will automatically select outside air.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting” later
in this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
prevent odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculation may also help cool the air inside your
vehicle more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
will ash three times and turn off. 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 the fan speed.
Recirculation mode can be turned off by pressing
the button again, or turning off the engine.

Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and
off. When air conditioning is selected, an indicator
light will come on to let you know that the air
conditioning has been activated.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool for air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator ash three times and
then turn off to let you know the air conditioning
mode is not available. If the air conditioning
is on and the outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air conditioning
to be effective, the air conditioning light will turn off
to let you know the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also
helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle
while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille in
the middle of the instrument panel, monitors
the solar radiation. Do not cover the solar sensor
or the system will not work properly.
219

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the 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
clear fog or frost from your windshield.
Use the mode up and down arrows to select the
defog or defrost modes.
-(Defog):The defog mode is used to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. This mode directs air to the
windshield, oor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):Press this button to remove fog or
frost from the windshield more quickly. This
mode directs a portion of the air to the windshield
and side window vents and some to the oor
vents. In this mode, the system will automatically
force outside air into your vehicle. The
recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless
the outside temperature is close to freezing. Do
not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
