1 (Maximum Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the windshield, with some air directed to the side window outlets and the floor outlets. The rear window defogger and heated outside mirrors will turn on, and the fan speed will be at the highest setting (5). The temperature will be at the hottest setting also. Recirculation is not available in this mode. If this mode was selected when you turn your vehicle off, the warmest temperature and highest fan speed will be restored when the vehicle is started, regardless of the temperature and fan setting. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. When the rear defogger button is pressed, the outside heated mirrors will warm to help clear any fog or frost from the surface of the mirrors. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window may damage the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear window with sharp objects. Outlet Adjustment Use the levers located in the center of each outlet to change the direction of the airflow. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition is on. Operation Tips • Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the flow of air into your vehicle. • Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may adversely affect the performance of the system. = (Rear): Press this button on the right knob to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light on the button will come on to let you know that the rear window defogger is activated. • Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more effectively. 3-22
