weird never had that experience with any gm vehicle, i turn it on auto/manual, doesn't matter. when started it blows air it's doesn't "wait" for anything. on auto it may increase/decrease the fan speed to compensate for the desired temp throughout a drive but that's it.My baby goes in the garage, no remote start for me. The point of this thread is that my '09 operation is what I expect. Wait till engine temp is high enough to blow warm air. Not just blow cold air from the jump.
And I would be pissed if it didn't blow air out the get go, normally in about 1/2 mile i'm getting some heat/warmth in any case
