Outlet Adjustment - Chevrolet Malibu 2007 Owner's Manual

Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.

Outlet Adjustment

Use the thumbwheels on the air outlets, located
on the center and on the sides of the instrument
panel, to change the horizontal direction of
the airflow. Use the tabs on the outlet vanes
to change the vertical direction of the airflow.
Use the tabs on the outlet vanes to shut off
airflow to the outlets.
The two upper outlets in the center of the
instrument panel are dedicated to the rear seats.
These outlets are fixed to aim airflow into the
rear seats to help cool the rear occupants in
hot weather. Airflow can be shut off at the
upper outlets by turning the vertical thumbwheel.
The louvers are fixed, do not attempt to move
them or they may break.
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 your vehicle.
•
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect performance of the system.
•
Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of your vehicle more effectively.
•
When an objectionable odor outside the
vehicle is encountered, use the recirculation
mode, with the temperature knob at a
comfortable setting to prevent the odor from
entering the vehicle through the ventilation
system. This can be helpful when driving
through a long tunnel with poor ventilation.
However, extended usage of this mode in cold
or cool weather can cause window fogging.
