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.
Air Conditioning with Electronic
Controls @ . !.
With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. The systems work best if
you keep your windows closed while
using them.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning
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.

Not all air conditioning refrigerants are the same. If
the air conditioning system in your vehicle needs
refrigerant, be sure the proper refrigerant is used.
If you’re not sure, ask your Chevrolet dealer. For
additional information, see your “Warranty and
