For vehicles with eAssist, there is a
battery cooling air vent located on
the shelf behind the rear passenger
seats below the rear window. Keep
this air inlet clear from items that
may block air flow. Proper airflow is
required to keep the eAssist battery

Operation Tips

Keep all outlets open whenever
possible for best system

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

Air Intake

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves
from the air intake at the base of the
windshield that can block the flow of
air into the vehicle.

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.
See

Maintenance Schedule on

page 11-2

for replacement intervals.

For more information, see your
dealer.
