A(Fan Control): Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed. Turning the
fan control to 0 turns the fan off. The
fan must be turned on to run the air
conditioning compressor.
Temperature Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the
temperature.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
change the current airflow mode.
Select from the following air delivery
modes:
Y(Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel and
floor outlets.

8-2 Climate Controls
[(Floor):Air is directed to the
floor outlets.
W(Defog): This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air is
directed to the floor, windshield, and
side window outlets.
1(Defrost): This mode clears the
windshield of fog or frost more
quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
Do not drive the vehicle until all
windows are clear.
In defrost or defog mode, excessive
air conditioning use can cause the
windows to fog. If this happens,
change the air delivery mode to
Y
and reduce the fan speed.
Move the air intake control to
%
orMto select the outside air or
recirculation modes.
%(Outside Air): This mode
pulls outside air inside the vehicle.
M(Recirculation): This mode
recirculates and helps to quickly
cool the air inside the vehicle. It can
be used to reduce the outside air
and odors that may enter the
vehicle.
Using the recirculation mode for
extended periods may cause the
windows to fog. If this happens,
select the defrost mode.
To allow outside air to enter in these
conditions, move the air intake
control to
%.
A/C (Air Conditioning): Turn the
fan control to the desired speed and
press A/C . The air conditioning
does not operate when the fan
control knob is in the off position.
Press A/C to turn the air
conditioning on and off. When A/C
is pressed, an indicator light comes
on to show that the air conditioning
is on.
For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape. 2. Move the air intake control
to
M.
3. Press A/C.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest
Aspeed.
Using these settings together for
long periods of time may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening,
after the air in the vehicle has
cooled, move the air intake control
to
%
Rear Window Defogger and
Heated Outside Mirrors
N(Rear Window Defogger, If
Equipped): Press to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An
indicator light comes on in the
display to show that the feature is
on. This helps to clear frost from the
rear window and outside mirrors.
The ignition must be on for the
defogger to work.

Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow,
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
the performance of the system.
.Keep the path under the front
seats clear of objects to help
circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
Maintenance
Service
This vehicle may have the new
environmentally friendly refrigerant,
R1234yf. This refrigerant has a
significantly reduced global warming
impact on the environment,
compared to the traditional
automotive refrigerant, R-134a. All
vehicles have a label underhood
that identifies the refrigerant used in
the vehicle.The refrigerant system should only
be serviced by trained and certified
technicians. The air conditioning
evaporator should never be repaired
or replaced by one from a salvage
vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure
proper and safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants
should be reclaimed with proper
equipment. Venting refrigerants
directly to the atmosphere is harmful
to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite,
or other health-based concerns.

Vehicle Care 10-17
If Steam is Coming from the
Engine Compartment
{Warning
Steam from an overheated engine
can burn you badly, even if you
just open the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear
steam coming from it. Just turn it
off and get everyone away from
the vehicle until it cools down.
Wait until there is no sign of
steam or coolant before you open
the hood.
If you keep driving when the
engine is overheated, the liquids
in it can catch fire. You or others
could be badly burned. Stop the
engine if it overheats, and get out
of the vehicle until the engine
is cool.
Overheated Engine
Protection
Operating Mode
The engine has an engine
protection mode to reduce the
chance of damage if the coolant
temperature goes too high (for
example, when climbing steep
grades in high temperature with
heavy loads, such as when towing a
trailer). When the engine
temperature reaches a certain level:
.The engine coolant temperature
warning light will illuminate.
.Engine power may be reduced.
.The air conditioning cooling
function may be automatically
turned OFF for a short time (the
blower will continue to operate).
Engine power and under certain
conditions, vehicle speed will
decrease. Vehicle speed can be
controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed. The transmission will downshift or
upshift as it reaches prescribed shift
points. You can also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and
engine coolant temperature is
reduced, vehicle speed can be
increased using the accelerator
pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
If:
1. The engine coolant temperature
is not reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure low/ engine coolant temperature high
warning light illuminates, this
may indicate a malfunction.
Move the vehicle off the road in
a safe area and allow the engine
to cool. If after checking the oil
and coolant, the oil pressure

(6) Load Range:Load Range.
(7) Service Description
:The
service description indicates the
load index and speed rating of a
tire. If two numbers are given as
in the example, 120/116, then
this represents the load index for
single versus dual wheel usage
(single/dual). The speed rating is
the maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load. This
does not apply to Goodyear
LT225/75R16 G949 RSA and
Goodyear LT225/75R16 G933
RSD commercial truck tires; see
the dual tire and single tire
maximum load and load range
letter designations on the tire
sidewall.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount of
air inside the tire pressing
outward on each square inch of the tire. Air pressure is
expressed in kPa (kilopascal)
or psi (pounds per square inch).
Accessory Weight
:The
combined weight of optional
accessories. Some examples of
optional accessories are
automatic transmission, power
windows, power seats, and air
conditioning.
Aspect Ratio
:The relationship
of a tire's height to its width.
Belt
:A rubber coated layer of
cords between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing
materials.
Bead
:The tire bead contains
steel wires wrapped by steel
cords that hold the tire onto
the rim. Bias Ply Tire
:A pneumatic tire
in which the plies are laid at
alternate angles less than
90 degrees to the centerline of
the tread.
Cold Tire Pressure
:The
amount of air pressure in a tire,
measured in kPa (kilopascal)
or psi (pounds per square inch)
before a tire has built up heat
from driving. See Tire Pressure
on page 10-35.
Curb Weight
:The weight of a
motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil,
and coolant, but without
passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings
:A code molded
into the sidewall of a tire
signifying that the tire is in
compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation
(DOT) Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. The DOT code
