Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel 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. If the air entering your vehicle is
warmer than desired, turn the temperature knob fully
counterclockwise and turn the mode knob to vent mode.
(Vent): This setting directs most of the air through
the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through
the floor outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is delivered through the floor
outlets as well as the instrument panel outlets.
(Floor): This setting directs most of the air
through the floor outlets and some air through the
windshield defroster outlets.
(Blend): Airflow is divided equally between the
floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets.
(DEFROST): This setting directs most air through
the windshield defroster outlets and some through the
floor outlets.
Optional Climate Control System
Fan Control
The knob on the left side of the climate control system
panel operates the fan speed. To increase airflow, turn
the knob clockwise. To decrease airflow, turn it
counterclockwise.

3-4
Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the
relative temperature of the air flowing into the passenger
area of your vehicle. Turn the knob clockwise toward
the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob
counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery and settings for
air conditioning.
OFF: This setting turns the system off. Some outside air
will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is
moving forward.
MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): 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. This setting directs most of
the air through the instrument panel vents and a small
amount through the floor vents.A/C (Air Conditioning): This setting cools the air
entering your vehicle and directs most of the air through
the instrument panel vents and a small amount through
the floor vents.
(Bi-Level): This setting cools the air entering your
vehicle and directs it through the heater floor outlets as
well as the instrument panel outlets.
(Vent): This setting directs most of the air through
the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through
the floor outlets. The air conditioning compressor is not
working when the other modes are selected.
(Floor): This setting directs most of the air
through the floor outlets and some air through the
windshield defroster outlets.
(Blend): Airflow is divided equally between the
floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets.
(Defrost): This setting directs most air through
the windshield defroster outlets and some through the
floor outlets.

3-5 Air Conditioning (If Equipped)
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 to deliver warm
air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets.
If you have the VORTEC 4300 V6 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.
Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use the floor outlets 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 ªEngine Coolant Heaterº in the Index.

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.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
fan control to high 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.Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.

desired level. Turn the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust the SCV. Each notch on the
control ring allows for more volume compensation at
faster vehicle speeds. Then, as you drive, SCV
automatically increases the volume, as necessary, to
overcome noise at any speed. The volume level should
always sound the same to you as you drive. If you don't
