Air Vents

Adjustable air vents are in the centre
and on the sides of the instrument
panel, and on the rear of the centre
console storage.
Move the slider knobs to change the
direction of or to close off the airflow.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves
from air inlets at the base of the
windscreen that could block the
flow of air into the vehicle.
Keep the path under the front
seats clear of objects to help
circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
Use of non-GM approved bonnet
air flow deflectors can adversely
affect the performance of the
system. Check with your dealer
before adding equipment to the
outside of the vehicle.
Do not attach any devices to the
air vent slats. This restricts airflow
and may cause damage to the air
vents.
