Manual Operation - Pontiac 2006 G6 Owner's Manual

If the temperature setting of 90°F (32°C) is chosen
the system remains at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the
vehicle to heat or cool faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the
top of the instrument panel near the windshield.
This sensor regulates air temperature based on sun
load, and also turns on the headlamps.
Also be careful not to cover the sensor grille on the
lower right side of the climate control faceplate.
This senses the inside vehicle temperature needed
for proper regulation.
To avoid blowing cold air at start-up in cold weather,
the system delays turning on the fan until warm
air is available. The length of delay depends on the
engine coolant temperature. Turning the fan knob
overrides this delay and change the fan to a
selected speed.
If the vehicle has the remote start feature, the climate
control display initially shows "RS" in place of the
temperature to indicate the remote start has been
activated. The remote start system turns on using the
last temperature selected before the vehicle was
last turned off.
For best performance, turn the fan and mode knobs to
the AUTO position. The fan speed and air delivery
modes will change to achieve the best comfort.
If the outside air temperature is below 45°F and the
air delivery mode knob is set to AUTO, the automatic
climate control system starts in the defrost mode to clear
the window.
The automatic climate control changes back to manual
operation by turning the vehicle on with the key.
