Operation Tips

Keep all outlets open whenever possible for best system performance.
Keep the paths under all seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside the vehicle more effectively.
Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that can block the flow of air into the vehicle.
Clear snow off the hood to improve visibility and help decrease moisture drawn into the vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors can adversely affect the performance of the system.
