Climate Controls Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air filter removes most of the pollen and dust from the air that enters the vehicle. The filter will need to be replaced periodically. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 10-2. Using the climate control system without an air filter installed is not recommended. Water or other debris could enter the system and result in leaks or noises. Always install a new filter when removing the old filter. 7-3 Air Vents Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side of the instrument panel to direct the airflow. Use the thumbwheels near the center air outlets to direct airflow to the left or right. Operation Tips • In defog or defrost mode, warm air flows from the some air outlets. To improve side window defogging or defrosting, direct side air outlets towards the side windows. • Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle more effectively. • Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors can adversely affect the performance of the system. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding equipment to the outside of the vehicle. • Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from air inlets at the base of the windshield that could block the flow of air into the vehicle.
