Air Vents
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.

Rear Air Conditioning
You may have rear air conditioning. The rear air conditioning switch is loca\
ted
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 LOW may enhance front
NC 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 recirculate air, even if the front system is off.
Before using the rear air conditioning, open the windows to cl\
ear the vehicle
of hot air. Close the windows when using the system.
Rear Window Defogger
HATCH REL REAR DEFOG
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 and 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 the
switch until the light in the switch comes on, then release it. The rear window
defogger will only work when the ignition is in the
RUN position.
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

again.
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage th-
defogger. Your warranty would not cover this damage.

decals there, you might have to scrape them

Engine Block Heater
If you use the optional engine block heater before starting yo\
ur engine, your
heating system will produce warmer air faster to heat the pass\
enger
compartment in cold weather. See “Engine Block Heater” in the Index.
Audio Systems
Your Dekoa 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
and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the mos\
t out of
the advanced engineering that went into it.
CAUTION
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too
late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound. Sound that
seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
’ precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reac\
h only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM
signals, causing the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especi\
ally at night.
The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with\
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing
the treble to reduce this noise
if you ever get it.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadca\
sts.
Many AM stations around the country use
C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not.
(C-QUAM@ is a re istered trademark of Motorola, Inc.)
If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM’, 8 your “STEREO” light will come on
when you’re receiving it.
