w Climate Control System
With this system, you can control the
ventilation and heating
in your vehicle.
Your vehicle also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later
in this
section.
. . . 102
# : The left control knob sets the fan
speed. To select the force of air you want,
turn the knob. The fan is always running
unless the mode control is moved to
OFF.
Temperature Control: The center
control regulates the temperature of the
air coming through the system.
Mode Control: The right control knob
:hanges the functions of your system.
’(rr (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but sunny
days. This setting brings
in the outside ai
but directs it
in two ways. The cool air is
directed to the upper portion
of your bod
through the instrument panel outlets, but
slightly warmer air is directed through th
heater ducts and defroster vents. At time:
this temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
(rr (Vent): Use when outside
temperatures are mild, and little heating
or cooling
is needed. Air flow is through
the instrument panel outlets. Set the
center control knob to the temperature
desired.
A.
A.
p(rr (Heater): This setting directs air
ihrough the heater ducts toward your feet
and the floor, and some through the
windshield defroster vents.
[f you have the optional engine coolant
heater (engine block heater) and use it
during cold weather,
0°F (- 18 “C) or
lower, your heating system
will more
quickly provide heat because the engine
coolant is already warm.ed. See “Engine
Coolant Heater (Engine
Block Heater)’’
in the Index.
%?a FrJ (Blend): This setting divides air flow
equally between the heater ducts and the
windshield defroster vents.
(Defrost): This setting directs most
air through the windshield defroster vents,
and some through the heater ducts.
Defogging Windows
To defog the windshield, turn all three

I Heating
Turning the right control knob to
(Heater) and the center control knob
clockwise
will send heated air through the
heater ducts toward your feet and the
floor, and some through the defroster
vents.
I ;j’ (Vent) and wo (Heater) are
economical positions because the air
conditioner compressor doesn’t
run in
these two settings. This reduces engine
load, resulting
in improved fuel economy.
If either setting fails to keep you
comfortable, or causes your windows to
fog up, turn
the right control knob to one
of the air conditioning positions, or to
%-$ (Defrost).
If you have the optional engine coolant
heater (engine block heater) and use
it
during cold weather, 0” F (- 18 O C) or
lower, your heating system
will more
quickly provide heat because the engine
coolant is already warmed. See “Engine
Coolant Heater” (Engine Block Heater)
the Index.
%?a pjd (Blend): This setting,divides air flow
Zqually between the heater ducts and the
windshield defroster vents.
Defrosting
Thew (Defrost) setting directs most air
through the defroster vents, and some
through the heater ducts.
Defogging Windows with
Air Conditioning System
To defog the windshield, turn all three
control knobs to the far right.
To defog the side windows, turn the right
control knob to pi (Bi-Level) and the

Hearing damage from loud noise is
almost undetectable until
it is too late.
Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound. Sound that seems normal can be
loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level
before your hearing adapts to
it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
a
a
Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly
until you hear
comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound
equipment to your vehicle
-- like a
tape player,
CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
-- be
sure
you can add what you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do
it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with
the operation of
your vehicle’s engine,
DelcoB radio
or other systems, and even damage
them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of
sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
For the best performance, an
external cellular telephone antenna
is recommended for cellular
telephone applications.
So, before adding sound equipment,
check
with your dealer and be sure
to check Federal rules covering
mobile radio and telephone units.
Setting the CIock
No matter which audio system you have
in your vehicle, setting the clock is easy.
1. With the ignition on and radio on or
off, press
SET. The SET indicator will
appear on the digital screen
for five
seconds.
2. You must begin to set the clock to the
correct hour and minute during those
five seconds.

CD Player Anti-Theft
Feature
Delco LOC II@ is an anti-theft feature for
the compact disc player. It can be used or
ignored. If ignored, the system plays
normally. If
it is used, your player won’t
be usable
if it is ever stolen, because it
will go to LOC mode any time battery
power is removed. It will also
go to LOC
mode any time power from the battery
is
turned off by the Battery Protection
Feature (see “Battery Rundown
Protection”
in the Index). Until an
unLOC code
is entered, it will not
turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to
mter a secret code into the system. If your
vehicle loses battery power for any
reason, you must unlock the system with
the secret code before the radio will
turn
on.
To Set the Anti-Theft System:
1. Write down any six-digit number and
keep
it in a safe place. This is your
secret code.
2. Turn the ignition to the ACCESSORY
or RUN position.
ProCarManuals.com

To Unlock the System After a Power
Loss:
When battery power is reapplied to a
secured audio system after
a loss of
power, the audio system
will not turn on
and LOC will appear on the digital
display.
You will need to unlock the
Delco LOC II@ system.
1. Turn the ignition to the ACCESSORY
or
RUN position, and turn the radio
off.
2. Press SET, and 000 will appear on the
display.
3. Follow steps 4-8 for disabling your
anti-theft system.
4. Press the lower knob. The time will
appear on the digital display if you are
successful. If SEC appears, however,
the numbers did not match
and your
audio system is still locked.
Understanding Radio
Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound,
but FM signals
will reach only about 10
to
40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings
or hills can interfere
with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for
FM, especially at night. The
longer range, however, can cause stations
to interfere
with each other. AM can also
pick
up noise from things like storms and
power lines. To lower this noise,
try
reducing the treble level.
Care of Your Cassette
Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly
can cause reduced sound quality, ruined
cassettes, or a damaged mechanism.
Cassette tapes should be stored
in their
cases away from contaminants, direct
sunlight, and extreme heat. If they aren’t,
they may not operate properly or cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned after
every 50 hours of use. If you notice a
reduction
in sound quality, try a known
good cassette
to see if the tape or the tape
player is at fault. If this other cassette has
no improvement
in sound quality, clean
the tape player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing
action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette.
This system uses a cleaning cassette with
pads which scrub the tape head as the
hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It is
normal for the cartridge to eject while
cleaning. Insert the cassette at least
3
times to ensure thorough cleaning. A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Pontiac dealership.
