Air Vents

Use the air outlets located in the
center and outboard sides of the
instrument panel, to change the
direction of the air flowing through
the vents.
Operation Tips
•
Clear away any ice, snow or
leaves from the outside air
inlets at the base of the
windshield.
•
Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors can adversely affect
the performance of the system.
•
Keep the area under the
front seats clear of objects for
more effective air circulation.
•
If the airflow seems low when
the fan is at the highest setting,
the passenger compartment air
filter might need to be replaced.
For more information, see
Passenger Compartment
Air Filter on page 7-4.

Maintenance

Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
Both outside and recirculated air
are routed through a passenger
compartment air filter. Pollen, dust
particles and other contaminants
are removed by the filter. Airflow
reductions indicate that the filter
needs to be replaced. For a
replacement filter see your dealer/
retailer. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 10-3 for replacement
intervals.
The access panel for the air filter is
behind the glove box. To replace
the filter:
1. Open the glove box door. Push
each side of the glovebox in
and pull out to remove.
