BUICK REGAL 1995 Owners Manual

Flow-Through Ventilation System
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.
Ventilation Tips
e
e
e
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
to HTR and the fan to the highest speed for a
few 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 to circulate throughout your
vehicle.
Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate
easily and give years
of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it
if you ac uaint yourself
with it first. Find out what your Delco system can do
and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re
getting the most out of the advanced engineering that
went into it.
