Rear Window Defogger
<
(Rear Defogger): Press to
turn the rear window defogger on or
off. The rear window defogger turns
off after about 10 minutes. It can
also be turned off by turning the
ignition to ACC/ACCESSORY or
LOCK/OFF. If turned on again, it
runs for about five minutes before
turning off.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
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.
/ (Driver and Passenger
Heated Seats): For vehicles with
heated seats, see Heated Front
Seats on page 2 8.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located on top of
the instrument panel near the
windshield, monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system uses
the information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode.
Do not cover the solar sensor or the
system will not work properly.
Air Vents
Use the air outlets, located in the
center and on the side of the
instrument panel, to direct the
airflow. Use the thumbwheels
located near the center air outlets,
to open or close off the airflow.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow,
or leaves from air inlets at the
base of the windshield 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 hood
deflectors can adversely affect
the performance of the system.
Check with your dealer/retailer
before adding equipment to the
outside of the vehicle.
