4-25

There is also an interiortemperature sensorlocated next to the steeringwheel that measures thetemperature of the airinside the vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor locatedbehind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside airtemperature and helps maintain the temperatureinside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehiclecould cause a false reading in the displayedtemperature.
In order to prevent false temperature readings atstartup, the displayed temperature will not change untilthe following occurs:
•Vehicle speed is above 16 km/h (10 mph) for
5 minutes.
•Vehicle speed is above 51 km/h (32 mph) for 2 and
a half minutes.
The climate control system uses the information fromthese sensors to maintain your comfort setting byadjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and the airdelivery mode. The system may also supply coolerair to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. Therecirculation mode will also be used as needed tomaintain cool outlet temperatures.
Outlet Adjustment
For the front outlets, use the thumbwheel located beloweach outlet to change the direction of the airflow. Use thethumbwheel located next to the outlets to shut the airflowor to open the outlets and re-direct the air.
For the rear outlets, slide the lever left or right and up ordown to change the direction of the airflow.
Operation Tips
•Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that mayblock 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 moreeffectively.
