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 in RUN. Outlet Adjustment Use the louvers located on the air outlets to change the direction of the airflow. < (Rear): Operation Tips • Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the vehicle that may block the flow of air into your vehicle. Press the button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light above the button will come on to let you know that the rear window defogger is activated. The rear window defogger will stay on for approximately 15 minutes after the button is pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC or LOCK. If turned on again, the defogger will only run for approximately five minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. Notice: Don't use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. • 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 your vehicle more effectively. Passenger Compartment Air Filter If your vehicle has this feature, the passenger compartment air, both outside air and recirculated air, is routed through a passenger compartment filter. The filter removes certain particles from the air, including pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to be replaced early. 3-23
