Section 3 Comfort Controls and Audio Systems
In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control systems and audio systems offered with your
Pontiac. Be sure to read about the particular 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.
3f FAN: The left control knob sets the Fan speed.
To select the force of air you want, turn the knob. The
fan

to OFF.
Temperature Control: The center control knob
regulates the temperature of the air coming through the
system.
Mode Control: The right control knob changes the

ways. The cool air is directed to the upper portion of
your body through the instrument panel outlets, but
slightly warmer air is directed through the heater ducts
and defroster vents.
At times this temperature difference
may be more apparent than others.
