heated outside rearview mirrors, the
mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button is
pressed. See
Heated Mirrors on
page 2-17.
Sensors
The automatic climate control
system uses sensors to maintain
temperatures. The solar sensor is
on the instrument panel near the
windshield, and the outside
temperature sensor is in front of the
radiator.
The solar sensor monitors the solar
radiation when operating in AUTO
mode, adjusting the temperature,
fan speed and air delivery.
The system may also supply cooler
air to the side of the vehicle facing
the sun. The recirculation mode will
also be activated, as necessary.
The outside temperature sensor can
be affected by radiant heat when
the vehicle is not moving.
To prevent false temperature
readings, the displayed temperature
will not update at low vehicle
speeds.

or leaves from the air inlets at
the base of the windshield that
may block the flow of air into the
vehicle.
.Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors may adversely affect
performance of the system.
.Keep the path under the front
seats clear of objects to help
circulate the air inside the
vehicle more effectively.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
The vehicle has a passenger
compartment air filter that filters the
outside air entering the vehicle. The
filter removes contaminants, such
as pollen and dust. See your dealer
for more information about filter
replacement.
