CHEVROLET ASTRO CARGO VAN 1995 2.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BLEND - With this setting, the heated outside air comes out both the
heater
vents and defroster vents, with some air coming through the side
window vents. Adjust the temperature lever
for warmer or cooler air. This
setting
is useful for cold weather with a large number of passengers or very
humid conditions
to help keep the windshield clear. The A/C compressor
may operate in this setting
to dehumidify the air.
HTR (Heater)
- Most of the air comes out near the floor. The rest comes
out from the defroster vents under the windshield and at the front side
windows. This
is best for cold weather.
VENT
- The air comes out at the vents on your instrument panel. The air
conditioner will not run. Adjust the temperature lever for warmer or cooler air.
BI-LEV A/C - With this, outside air comes out through the heater floor
vent and the instrument panel vents. If you move your temperature control
lever between cold and hot, cooler air
will come out of the upper vents
while warmer air comes
out of the floor vent. This setting is useful in cool
weather with bright sunlight.
NORM A/C - This setting cools the outside air. If you first used MAX
A/C, use NORM A/C
as soon as the vehicle has cooled down, so outside air
will be going through your vehicle.
MAX A/C -This cools the air the fastest. Move
the other lever all the way to
Cold. MAX A/C lets in only a little air from the outside. You can use MAX A/C
at first when
it's really hot outside and you need to cool off quickly.
When
the air conditioning, defrost or BLEND is on, you may notice a slight
increase or decrease in engine speed, due
to compressor operation.
Engine Coolant Heater (Option)
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine,
your heating system will produce warmer air faster to heat the passenger
compartment
in cold weather. See "Engine Coolant Heater" in the Index.
Rear Heater (Option)
You may have the
optional rear heater.
The three speed fan
switch is above the
radio. Slide
the lever
toward
HI for warmer
air in the rear area.
Move the switch to
OFF to turn the
system off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Air Conditioning (Option)
You may have rear air
conditioning. The rear
air conditioning
switch
is located
above the radio at the
top
of the instrument
panel. Slide the lever
toward
HI for cooler
air in the rear
area.
Slide the lever to OFF
to turn the system off.
If your vehicle has rear air conditioning, setting it on LO may enhance front
A/C performance by allowing trapped refrigerant in rear lines to circulate.
The system will only send cooled air if the front system is on. It can still
be
used to circulate air, even if the front system is off.
Before
using the rear air conditioning, open the windows to clear the vehicle
of hot air. Close the windows when using the system.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, the rear window will have lines running
across the glass. These lines heat your window.
For best results, clear the window of as much snow or ice as possible before
using the
rear window defogger.
To
turn on the rear
window defogger, find
the switch marked
REAR DEFOG on
your instrument panel
to the left of the
steering column. Press
the top
of this switch
until the light in the
switch comes on, then
release it.
The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition switch
is in the
RUN position.
3-4

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can turn the defogger off at any time by pressing the bottom of the switch.
The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes
so that the glass does not
get too hot. If the window still isn’t clear, turn the defogger on again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the defogger. Your warranty would not cover this damage. And
don’t put decals there, you might have to scrape them
off.
Ventilation System
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to the inside of your
vehicle when it is moving. With the side windows closed, air will flow into
the front air inlet grilles at the base of
the windshield, through the vehicle
and out the rear air exhaust valves. Outside air will also enter the vehicle
when the heater or the air conditioning fan is running.
Venfilation Tips
0 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.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan to HIGH for a
few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the change
of fogging the inside of your windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
3-5

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You will find air vents
in the center and on
the sides of your
instrument panel.
You can move the vents to direct the flow
of air, or close the vents
altogether. When you close a vent, it will increase the flow of air coming out
of any vents that are open.
If your vehicle doesn’t have air conditioning, there is an air vent in the
passenger-side kick panel below the instrument panel. The vent has a
handle to open and close it.
Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate easily and give
years of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it if
you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco@system can do

of
the advanced engineering that went into it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To PIay A Cassette
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are
so thin they may not work well
in this player.
Once the tape is playing, use the upper and lower knobs for volume, balance
and fade just as you do for the radio. A lighted arrow shows which direction
the tape is being played.
FORWARD
- To rapidly advance the tape, press 4 or b in the direction
that the amber arrow points and the tape will rapidly go forward until
you
press the STOP-EJECT button lightly.
REVERSE
- To rapidly reverse the tape, press 4 or b in the opposite
direction that the amber arrow points and the tape will rapidly reverse until
you press the STOP-EJECT button lightly.
PROGRAM

If a tape
is inserted with side “1” (or “A”) up, then the right arrow means
that that side is being played. Likewise,
a left arrow would indicate that side
“2” (or “B”) had been selected. The player will automatically switch to the
other side
of the tape when the first side ends.
If “Cln” (Clean) appears
on the display when you insert your cassette tape,
your cassette player needs to be cleaned. It will
still play cassette tapes but it
should be cleaned to prevent damage to your cassette tapes and the cassette
tape player. See “Care

After you have cleaned the cassette tape player, press and hold
STOP-EJECT for
