outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air
conditioning fan is running.

of airflow to the rear seats can be adjusted
if you have the optional full console (DeVille Concours
Only). Move the fan lever to adjust the blower speed
from LO to
HI. Motre the vent lever to direct the airflow.
The front outlets are located in the center and at each
side
of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction of airflow by moving the center control levers
or you can stop the aifflow by moving the lever located
on each side
of the outlets downward.

~ Ventilation Tips
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 the windows.
of objects. This helps circulate
air throughout
your vehicle.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG (digital cluster
climate control panel only) to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid
or cold conditions.
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press
the DEFOG button and adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or down.
If you use DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed the same way.
If you select
DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control the
fan speed. The temperature will also need to be
adjusted to your comfort level. Press the blue button
to decrease the temperature and the red button
to
increase the temperature. If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which
is
standard with the analog cluster). If you select
DEFROST, adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan
button up or down. If you select DEFROST from
AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. The
temperature also needs to be adjusted by turning the
TEMP/AUTO knob.
Note that recirculation is not available in the defiost
or defog modes.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the glass. Press
this button to
turn on the rear defogger.
With it, the rear window
and both outside rearview
mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.

repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered by a MaxiFuse?
An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse
is a registered trademark of Little Fuse ,
Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload,
is caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have
it fmed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load
is too heavy,
the cifcuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
MaxiFusesLRelay Center
The MaxiFuses and relays are located next to the engine
compartment fuse b1oc.k on the driver’s side
of the
engine.
To access the compartment fuse block, remove
the shroud cover.
If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.

* Do not alter OBD 11 related fuses or circuit breakers.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires
caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the same amperage. Pick some feature
of your vehicle that
you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the engine
compartment fuse block and the rear compartment
fuse block.
