Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
air inlets at the base of the windshield
that could block airflow.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of the vehicle more effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
can adversely affect system performance.
Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of the vehicle.
.Do not attach any devices to the air vent
slats. Doing so restricts airflow and may
cause damage to the air vents.
