Saturn 2009 VUE Hybrid - Manual (Page 121)

Temperature Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the
temperature. Typically, the best
setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the direction of the
airflow inside the vehicle.
Select from the following air delivery
modes:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
)
(Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel and
the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets with some air directed to
the windshield. When this mode is
selected, the system turns the
recirculation mode off. Recirculation
mode cannot be selected while
in floor mode. This is to help prevent
window fogging.
- (Defog): This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air
is directed to the floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield
and side window outlets. In this
mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs the
air conditioning compressor
unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defog
mode. This helps prevent window
fogging.
0 (Defrost): This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some air directed to
the side window outlets and the
floor outlets. In this mode, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off automatically and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up
inside the vehicle. In this mode, the
climate control system prevents
all automatic engine start/stop
operations. This ensures the best
defrost performance.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
