Climate Controls

On the previous page, we suggested that the Aveo’s radio was about as simple as simple gets. We lied. In actuality, the Aveo’s climate control system makes the radio look like a collaborative project between NASA and Einstein. To keep occupants comfortable, the Chevrolet Aveo uses three dials – one for temperature, one for fan speed, and one for mode – and three buttons dedicated to a/c, recirculating the cabin air, and activating the rear defrost. Each of the buttons and dials feels up to the challenge of repeated use, though we’d prefer a rubber grip on the center dial to match the one used on the radio.
