Operation Tips
Keep all outlets open whenever possible
for best system performance.
Keep the path under all seats clear of

Clear snow off the hood to improve

improve long term system performance.
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
can adversely affect the performance of
the system.
Do not attach any devices to the air vent

damage to the air vents.
