Black plate (7,1) GMC Acadia/Acadia Denali Owner Manual - 2011
Climate Controls 8-7
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets, with some of the air
directed to the windshield, side
window, and second row floor
outlets. In this mode, the system
uses outside air.
-
(Defog): This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air is
directed to the windshield, floor
outlets, and side window vents.
When this mode is selected, the
system turns off recirculation and
runs the air conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is
less than 4°C (40°F). Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are
clear.
0
(Defrost): Press to turn the
defrost on or off. This mode quickly
clears the windshield of fog or frost.
Air is directed to the windshield,
side window, and floor vents.
In this mode, outside air is pulled
inside the vehicle. The air
conditioning system runs
automatically in this setting,
unless the outside temperature
is less than 4°C (40°F).
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
While in defrost mode, if the
PASS button is pressed, the
PASS button indicator flashes three
times to show that the passenger
climate control system cannot
be activated. If the passenger
temperature buttons are adjusted
while in defrost mode, the driver
temperature indicator will change.
The passenger temperature will
not be displayed.
When returning to bi-level, vent,
or floor mode, the previous
temperature settings displays in
place of any change made while
in defrost mode.
Air Conditioning
# (Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning (A/C) on
and off. An indicator light comes
on when A/C is on.
The A/C does not work when the
outside temperature is below 4°C
(40°F). If
# is pressed the indicator
flashes three times and turns off
to show that the A/C mode is not
available. If the A/C is on and the
outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the A/C
indicator turns off to show that the
A/C mode has been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows
briefly to let hot inside air escape.
This helps reduce the time it takes
for the interior of the vehicle to
cool down.
