What about when it's really cold in the winter, to warm things up quicker? Seems silly to use AC for that.

This is odd only car I have ever come across that does so

Just to clarify - if I want heat need to set top and bottom with no recirc?

I agree. You will have to ask the GM engineers about that one.

Just use to auto function and set your temperature and let the computer do its thing. Had mine out last night and it worked fine even at 40 degrees out.

No, at least on mine, if you set top+bottom you can do fresh or recirc, without AC. Only bottom-only requires AC for some bizarre reason.

A/C glitches

Thanks!

Mine just blinks when I push it. Manual says that means it is able to function at that time??? Why?? I did everything it said to in manual, it was 80degrees out and it would blink a few times then go off. Any ideas??
