(Rear Window Defogger): Press this button to
turn the rear window defogger on and off. Be sure
to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn off approximately
20 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger will only run for approximately
20 minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be
turned off by pressing the button again or by turning
off the engine.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.

Outlet Adjustment

Rotate and turn the air outlets, located in the middle
and at each outboard side of the instrument panel,
to adjust the direction of the airflow.
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 the vehicle.
•
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
•
Keep the path under the front seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
•
If the airflow seems low when the fan is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment air
filter may need to be replaced. See "Passenger
Compartment Air Filter" following, for more
information.

Passenger Compartment Air Filter

The passenger compartment air filter is located near the
passenger's side windshield wiper arm, underneath
the inlet grille.
The filter traps most of the pollen from entering the
climate control system. Similar to the engine's air filter,
it may need to be changed periodically to insure
system performance. See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 6-4 for more information.
