Outlet Adjustment
Use the thumbwheels located next to and below
the air outlets to change the direction of the airow
and to open and close the outlets.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
may block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors 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
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment lter. The lter removes certain
particles from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airow, 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 375for replacement
intervals. See your dealer for details on changing
the lter. To nd out what type of lter to use, see
Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts on
page 387.
To access the passenger compartment air lter
you must go through the glove box.
1. Open the glove box and remove all articles
from the inside.
2. Tilt the glove box door down by squeezing on
each side of the glove box until the door can
be lowered from its track. Lower the glove
box door.

3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
other vehicle.
5. Return the positive (+) terminal cover to its
original position.
Headlamp Aiming
The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming
system. The aim has been preset at the factory
and should need no further adjustment
However, If the vehicle is damaged in an accident,
the headlamp aim may be affected and adjustment
may be necessary.
If oncoming vehicles ash their high beams at
you, this may also mean the vertical aim needs to
be adjusted.It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to your
dealer for service if the headlamps need to be
re-aimed. It is possible however, to re-aim the
headlamps as described in the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly prepared as
follows:
The vehicle should be placed so the
headlamps are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light
colored wall.
The vehicle must have all four tires on a
perfectly level surface which is level all
the way to the wall.
The vehicle should be placed so it is
perpendicular to the wall.
The vehicle should not have any snow, ice or
mud on it.
The vehicle should be fully assembled and all
other work stopped while headlamp aiming is
being done.
The vehicle should be normally loaded with a
full tank of fuel and one person or 160 lbs
(75 kg) on the driver’s seat.
Tires should be properly inated.
