Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<
(Rear Defogger): Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. The rear window defogger stays on
for about 20 minutes, before turning off. At higher
vehicle speeds, the rear defogger can stay on
continuously. Each additional press runs the defogger
for about 10 minutes.
When the rear window defogger is pressed, the heated
outside mirrors come on. They help to clear fog or
frost from the surface of the mirror. See Outside Heated
Mirrors on page 2-40.
Notice: 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.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the airflow. Use the thumbwheels
to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips
•
Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that could
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 speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air filter might need to be replaced. For more
information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 3-28.
•
Set the climate control system to AUTO fan and
mode and then adjust the temperature setting
up or down a few degrees for best comfort.
