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.
Standard Climate Control in cold
weather, select a heater function that
blows air through
the floor ducts.
Then turn the blower fan to
HI for a
few moments before driving off. This
will blow moist air from the intake
When you enter a vehicle with
126
ducts toward the floor, not the
windshield. It reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows. If
you have the Electronic Climate
Control,
the AUTO setting does this
for you.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.

The following pages describe the audio systems available for your Pontiac, and
how to get the best performance from
them. Please read about the system

safe sound level before your
hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or
damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until
