seats PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 1998 User Guide

Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the
direction and amount of airflow inside the vehicle. Push
the outlet up or down to direct airflow to your
preference. Increase or reduce the amount of airflow by
opening and closing the louvers. Opening and closing
the louvers
will also direct airflow from side-to-side.
If you have the rear seat passenger outlet, it's attached to
the back
of the console. You can adjust the airflow
toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Turn the
end
knobs up and down to direct airflow. Increase or
reduce the amount of airflow by adjusting the lever
between
the two rear vents up or down. Open and close
the louvers to direct airflow from side-to-side.
Ventilation Tips
0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle with the standard system in
cold weather, select HEATER to supply air through the
floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high for a few
moments before driving away.
This will blow moist air
from the intake outlets toward the floor, not the
windshield. It reduces the chance
of fogging your
windows. If you have the electronic system, the AUTO
setting will do this for you. Manual operation of the
electronic system in the HEAT mode will also supply
air through the floor outlets.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
0 When the engine idles for a long time, the exterior
temperature sensor may cause the system to blow
air
that is too cool. Once the vehicle is moving again the
system
will try to maintain the set temperature inside
your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and the EXT TEMP
display flashes (electronic system only) for some time,
the system may
need repair. See your Pontiac dealer.

A CAUTION: I
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in
a crash.
Put things in the trunk of your vehicle. In a
trunk, put them
as far forward as you can.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
inside the vehicle
so that some of them are
above the tops of the seats.
Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Don’t leave a seat folded down unless you
need to.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,

Electronic Level Control (Option)
Towing a Trailer
A CAUTION:
If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive
properly, you can lose control when you pull a
trailer. For example,
if the trailer is too heavy, the
brakes may not work well
-- or even at all. You
and your passengers could be seriously injured.
You may
also damage your vehicle; the resulting
repairs would not be covered
by your warranty.
Pull a trailer only if you have followed
all the
steps in this section. Ask your dealer for advice
and information about towing
a trailer with
your vehicle.
This feature keeps the rear of your vehicle level as the
load changes. It is automatic -- you do not need to
adjust anything.
