Getting to Know Your Grand Prix

Refer to your Owner Manual for a listing of driver warning messages and infotainment messages. The driver warning messages provide critical infotainment to prevent damage to your vehicle. It is important to read your Owner Manual and become familiar with the information displayed and what action to take to ensure safety and to prevent damage.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

SAFETY & SECURITY

Dual Stage Frontal Air Bags

Dual stage frontal air bags for the driver and right front passenger adjust the amount of restraint in relation to the severity of an impact. For moderate impacts, the air bags deploy at a level less than full deployment. For more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.

See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.

Side Impact Air Bags (if equipped)

The side impact air bags are located in the roof above the side windows. They are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes and only on the side of the vehicle that is struck.

See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.

COMFORT

Cabin Air Filter

Located inside the vehicle’s heating and air conditioning housing, the cabin air filter reduces dust, pollen, smoke and other contaminants within the vehicle cabin. A reduction in the amount of airflow coming from the heating and air conditioning outlets could indicate a dirty cabin air filter.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Climate Controls

The climate control system regulates the heating, cooling and ventilation of your vehicle. Film valve technology allows this unit to blend the temperature and airflow more precisely.

Airflow Modes

The climate control system includes five primary modes:

(Vent): Directs air to the instrument

panel outlets.

(Bi-Level): Directs half of the air to

the instrument panel outlets and the remaining air to the floor outlets.

(Floor): Directs most of the air to the

floor outlets with some air directed to the side window outlets and windshield.

(Defog): Directs air to the windshield,

side window outlets and floor outlets. Recirculation will not function in this mode.
