Operation Tips

• 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.
• Clear snow off the hood to improve visibility and help decrease moisture drawn into the vehicle.
• Keep all outlets open whenever possible for best system performance.
• Keep the path under all seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside the vehicle more effectively.
• Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors can adversely affect the performance of the system.

Maintenance

Passenger Compartment Air Filter

The filter removes dust, pollen, and other airborne irritants from outside air that is pulled into the vehicle.

The filter should be replaced as part of routine scheduled maintenance.

Service

All vehicles have a label underhood that identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle. The refrigerant system should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians. The air conditioning evaporator should never be repaired or replaced by one from a salvage vehicle.

It should only be replaced by a new evaporator to ensure proper and safe operation.

During service, all refrigerants should be reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and may also create unsafe conditions based on inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other health-based concerns.
