Dual Automatic Climate Control System - Chevrolet 2012 Malibu Owner's Manual

For vehicles with heated outside
rearview mirrors, they turn on with
the rear window demister and help
to clear mist or frost from the
surface of the mirror. See Heated
Mirrors on page 1‑18.
Notice: Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
rear window can damage the rear
window aerial and/or the rear
window demister. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.
Sensors
The solar sensor located on top of
the instrument panel near the
windscreen monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the
automatic climate control system
may not work properly.
