Buick Enclave: Air Vents
Use the slider switch in the center of each outlet to change the direction of airflow. Moving the slider allows the air stream to be aimed toward or away from occupants, depending on personal preference. Use the thumbwheel near the outlet to control the amount of airflow or to shut off airflow from that outlet.
For best climate system performance, keep all outlets open whenever possible. Closing too many vents can reduce overall air circulation and may make the heating, cooling, or defogging performance feel weaker. In a large cabin such as the Buick Enclave, proper airflow distribution is important for maintaining comfort in all seating rows.
Operation Tips
► Clear away ice, snow, leaves, and other debris from the air inlets at the base of the windshield. Blocked inlets can restrict the flow of outside air into the vehicle and may reduce the effectiveness of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and defogging. ► Avoid using hood deflectors or accessories that are not approved by GM. Non-approved hood deflectors can disturb airflow over the vehicle and may negatively affect climate system performance. ► Keep the area under all seats clear of objects. Bags, boxes, loose items, or thick floor coverings can interfere with interior air circulation and reduce comfort for passengers in the second and third rows. ► If windshield fogging returns while using vent or bi-level modes in mild weather, turn on the air conditioner. The air conditioning system helps remove moisture from the air, which can reduce fogging and improve visibility.Good airflow habits make the climate system more effective. Clean inlet areas, open vents, and unobstructed floor space help the system move air evenly through the cabin and support better comfort for every passenger.
