Ventilation System - Cadillac 2002 Escalade Owner's Manual

Ventilation System

For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use outside air to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will flow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle's ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. With the
side windows closed, air will flow into the front air
inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out of the air
exhaust valves.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pressed in. For more information on
the recirculation button, see "Air Conditioning" earlier
in this section.
You can move the outlets from side

passenger's side outlets have shut
Turn the thumbwheels to the left to shut off air flow or

off airflow.
Your vehicle also has outlets located on the headliner for
the rear seat passengers.

open the vent. Turn the entire vent in the direction you
want to direct airflow. Push the slats to close them and
