Defogging And Defrosting; Rear Heating System - GMC Safari 2003 Owner's Manual

Defogging and Defrosting

Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
-
(Blend): With this setting, the outside air comes
out of both the floor and defroster outlets. Adjust
the temperature knob for warmer or cooler air. The air
conditioning compressor may operate in this setting
to dehumidfy the air.
1
(Defrost): This setting operates the defroster. Most
of the air comes out near the windshield, with some
going to the floor outlets and front side windows. The air
conditioning compressor may operate in this setting to
dehumidify the air.
The bi-level setting is useful for cold weather with a
large number of passengers or very humid conditions to
help keep the windshield clear. Use defrost to remove
fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely
cold conditions. The temperature knob should be in the
red area and the fan control toward high.

Rear Heating System

Your vehicle may have an optional rear heating system
that allows you to adjust the amount of air flowing
into the rear of the vehicle, from the front-seating area.
This feature works with the main climate-control
system in your vehicle.
The thumbwheel for this system is located to the right of
the audio system.
Turn the thumbwheel up or down to increase or
decrease the amount of heated air sent to the
rear-seating area.
