In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control systems and audio systems offered with your
Chevrolet. Be sure to read about
the particular system
supplied with your vehicle.

and ventilation in your vehicle. The systems work best if
you keep your windows closed while
using them.

Fan Knob
The knob with the fan symbol selects the force of air
you want. To
turn the fan off, turn the knob to OFF.
Temperature Control
If your system does not have the auxiliary temperature
control option, the right knob changes the temperature
of the air coming through the system. Turn this knob
toward red (clockwise) for warmer air. Turn it toward
blue (counterclockwise) for cooler air.
If your system does have the auxiliary temperature
control option, the center levers change the temperature
of the air coming through the system. The DRIV lever
sets the temperature for the driver and rear seat
passengers, and the
PASS lever sets the temperature for
the front seat passenger.
Mode Knob
The left knob has several settings to control the direction
of air flow. For each setting, set the temperature
to a
comfortable setting.
MAX: This setting recirculates much of the air inside
your vehicle and sends
it through the instrument panel
outlets.
A/C: This setting brings in outside air and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
'fl BI-LEVEL: This setting brings in the outside
air and directs it two ways. Half of the air is directed
through the instrument panel outlets. Most of
the
remaining air is directed through the floor ducts and a
little to the defrost and side window vents.
fl VENT This setting brings in outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel outlets.
+fl FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of
the defrost and side window vents.
+' DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go
to the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side
window vents.
9 DEFROST This setting directs most of the air
through the defrost and side window vents. Some of the
air goes to the floor ducts.

On very hot days, open the windows long enough to
let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
MAX with
the temperature control all the way in the blue area. If
this setting is used for long periods of time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry.
Heating
For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C with the
temperature control in the blue area. The system will
bring in outside air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI-LEVEL with the temperature control in
the middle. The system will bring in outside air and
direct it to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body. You may notice this
temperature difference more at some times
than others. On
cold days use FLOOR with the temperature control
all the way in the red area. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
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
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.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear
window. Press the button to
turn the defogger on. It will
turn itself-off after about
10 minutes.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your velucle'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
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.
If you
turn it on again, the defogger will only run for about
five minutes before turning
off. You can also turn it off by
turning
off the ignition or pressing the button again.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or decal across the defogger
grid.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do,' you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the
mode to
FLOOR 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.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.

Player
If your Chevrolet has this radio with cassette tape
player, follow the instructions earlier
in this manual
under “AMEM Stereo Radio’’
to play the radio. For
other features, see the following instructions.
If your radio has
a cassette tape player, you can set
21 preset stations (7 AM, 7 FMl and 7 FM2). Also,
your system will not have the SCAN feature. Instead, it
will have PSCAN.
PSCAN: Press both SEEK arrows, and PSCAN will
appear
in the display. Use PSCAN to listen to each of
your preset stations for
a few seconds. The radio will go
to
the first preset station, stop for a few seconds, then go
on to the next preset station. Press either SEEK arrow
or the upper knob to stop scanning.
Playing a Cassette Tape
The longer side with the tape visible should face to the
right.
The tape will begin playing as soon as you insert it.
If you hear nothing or hear
a garbled sound, the tape may
not be
in squarely. Press EJECT to remove the tape and
start over. Tapes that are longer than
30 to 45 minutes
long on a side may not work well in this player.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME, FADE,
BAL, TREB and BASS controls just
as you do for the
radio. Other controls may have different functions when
a tape is inserted. The display will show an arrow to
show which side
of the tape is playing.
Note that cassette tape adapter kits
for portable compact
disc players will not work
in your cassette player. These
adapters
will cause an error message in the display, and
the adapter cassette will be ejected.

maximum volume and gets louder faster than the middle
two positions. If you don’t want to use SCV, turn the
control all the way down.
