In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control and audio systems offered with your vehicle. Be
sure to read about the particular systems supplied with
your vehicle.
Comfort Controls
With these systems- you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle.
Standard Climate Control System
Fan Control
The switch with the fan symbol changes the fan speed.
To increase the fan speed, move the switch upward
toward HI. To decrease the fan speed, move the switch
downward toward
LO.
Temperature Knob
The upper knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise for
warmer
air. Turn the knob counterclockwise for cooler air.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature Knob
The upper knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise for warmer
air. Turn the knob counterclockwise for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The lower knob allows you to choose the direction of
air delivery.
OFF: This setting turns the system off. Some outside air
will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is
moving forward.
MAX NC: This setting provides maximum cooling
with the least amount of work. MAX A/C recirculates
much
of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly.
A/C: This setting cools the air entering your vehicle and
directs it through the instrument panel outlets.
+# BI-LEVEL A/C: Air is delivered through the heater
floor outlets
as well as the instrument panel outlets.
+e
/J VENT: This setting directs airflow through the
instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning
compressor is not working when VENT is selected.
+’ HEATER: This setting directs warmed air through
the heater floor outlets and windshield defroster outlets.
+e
0
w.
+’ BLEND: Airflow is divided equally between the
heater floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets.
DEFROST: This setting directs most air through
the windshield defroster
outlets and some through the
heater outlets.
Air Conditioning (Option)
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time
it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
For quick cool-down
on very hot days, use MAX A/C
with the temperature knob turned counterclockwise. This
setting should be used to keep odors and/or dust from
entering the vehicle. For normal cooling on hot days, use
A/C with the temperature knob turned counterclockwise.
On
cool but sunny days, use BI-LEVEL A/C to deliver
warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets.
If you have the “VORTEC”
4300 engine, when the air
conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and power. This
is normal because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and
off to keep the desired temperature.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use
HEATER with the
temperature knob turned clockwise.
BLEND is useful in
cool weather when you have fog or ice on the
windshield or side windows.
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.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use
VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air
to
the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. When the
vehicle
is not moving, you can get outside air to flow
through by selecting any mode. and any fan speed.
.. ..
You will find air outlets in the center and on the sides of
your instrument panel.
You can move the outlets to direct the flow of air, or
close the outlets altogether. When you close an outlet, it
will increase the flow of air coming out of any outlets
that are open.

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.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan
to HI 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.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use BLEND 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. Turn the temperature knob clockwise
and move the fan control toward
HI.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Off-Road Recovery
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding
the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full
180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have
to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason
to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly. You may
find sometime that your right wheels have
dropped
off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while
you’re driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease
off the
accelerator and
then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so
that your vehicle straddles the edge
of the pavement. You
can
turn the steering wheel up to one-quarter turn until the
right front tire contacts the pavement edge.
Then turn your
steering wheel
to go straight down the roadway.
