2007 PONTIAC TORRENT remove seats

To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the
buckle. For outboard seating positions, when
the safety belt is not in use, slide the latch plate
up the safety belt webbing. The latch plate should
rest on the stitching on the safety belt, near the
guide loop on the side wall.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provide
added safety belt comfort for older children
who have outgrown booster seats and for some
adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the
comfort guide positions the belt away from
the neck and head.
There is one guide available for each outboard
passenger position in the rear seat. Here is how to
install a comfort guide to the safety belt:
1. Remove the guide from its storage clip on the
back of the seatback.

For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the outside air.
3. Select air conditioning.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is
below the outside temperature, select
recirculation mode for enhanced cooling.
Using these settings together for long periods of
time may cause the air inside of the vehicle
to become too dry. To prevent this from
happening, after the air inside of the vehicle has
cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.
((Heated Seats):If your vehicle has heated
seats, seeHeated Seats on page 11.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog or frost 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. To avoid fogging
windows on rainy and humid days at temperatures
above freezing, turn on the air conditioning
system. Also, it is best to avoid the use of the
recirculation mode, except when maximum
A/C performance is needed or for short times to
avoid exterior odors.
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. When you select either of
these modes, or the oor mode which also
helps defog the windows slightly, the system runs
the air conditioning compressor and cancels
recirculation mode to dry the air; however, the
recirculation light will stay on. For best results,
clear all snow and ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.

change the direction of the airow.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the vehicle that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Do not use any non-GM approved hood
deectors that could 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
The outside air is routed through a passenger
compartment air lter before entering the vehicle.
This 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 440for when to replace
the lter.
