Sensors
The solar sensor, located on top of
the instrument panel near the
windshield, monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the
automatic climate control system
may not work properly.

Air Vents

Use the louvers located on the air
vents to change the direction of the
airflow.
Use the thumbwheels near the air
vents to control the amount of
airflow or to shut off the airflow.
Operation Tips
Keep all outlets open whenever
possible for best system
performance.
Keep the paths under all seats
clear of objects to help circulate
the air inside the vehicle more
effectively.
Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors can adversely affect
the performance of the system.
