mended for most winter driving.
BI-LEVEL-Outside air is delivered
from the heater lower outlet and
the defroster duct and upper out
lets to provide comfort and keep

under low fogging conditions.
DEF -Outside air is delivered
mainly through the defroster out

the windshield cold so that
snow will not stick and melt and
will provide a cleaner view.

The head lamp circuit s are protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your wiring circuits checked immediately.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an
In-line fuse holder running from junction block to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
