CHEVROLET CAVALIER 1996 3.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heating
On cold days, use FLOOR with the temperature knob all
the way in the red area. The system will bring in outside
air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
Your vehicle has heat ducts that are directed toward
the rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear
of obstructions so the heated air can reach the rear
seat passengers.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it
to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s
cold outside
(0°F (-18°C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system
use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater’’ in the Index.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling
is needed, use VENT to direct outside air through
your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later in this section.
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into
the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan
is running.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better? reducing the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
mode knob to
FLOOR and the fan to the highest speed
for a fcw moments before driving
off. This helps clear
the intake ducts of snow and moisture and reduces the
chance
of fogging the inside of your windows.
Keep the
air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air circulate throughout your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows.
To defrost the windows quickly, use
DEFROST with the temperature knob all the way in
the red area.
To warm passengers while keeping the
windows clean, use DEFOG.
To defog the side windows, set the right control to
BI-LEVEL and the fan control to the highest setting.
To defog the side windows while using the air
conditioner, set the right control to BI-LEVEL, the fan
control to the highest setting, and press the
A/C button.
For both systems, aim the side vents toward the side
windows. For increased airflow to the side vents,
close
the center vents.
