make it
easy for you to enter and leave the car. You also
can turn these lights on by rotating the interior light
control to

The rear compartment lamp is also activated when the
doors are opened, the deck lid is opened
or when the
interior light control is rotated to
MAX.

is closed to give you time to find your keys
or controls.
The interior'lights go
off automatically when the
ignition is turned on, or after approximately
40 seconds.
This
40 second delay is disabled if the ignition has been
off less than
2 minutes. The interior lights will also go
on for
4 seconds if you pull on the door handle from the
inside trying to open a locked door.

BIL (Bi-level) Windshield Defrost
This
setting allows the outside air to flow through your
Buick in two ways. Cooler air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the vent outlets. Slightly
warmer air
is directed through the heater ducts and
defroster outlets.
Vent
Using vent will allow outside air to flow through the
instrument panel outlets. Set the temperature knob as
desired.
Heater
On days when it’s cold outside, this setting sends heated
air through the heater ducts and
the windshield defroster
outlets. If you have the engine block heater, you can use
it in cold weather (+2OoF/-8 OC or lower) to heat your
vehicle’s passenger area quicker. The engine block
heater warms the engine coolant which
will ultimately
warm the passenger area more efficiently.
( See “Engine
Block Heater” in the Index.)
Blend
This setting divides the air flow equally between the
heater and the defroster outlets. This setting operates the defroster. Most
of the air comes
out near the windshield. Use defrost when you get fog or
ice on the windshield.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
The lines you see on the
rear window warm
the
glass. Press the button to
start warming your
.window. Pressing the
button again will shut it off.
If you
turn the rear defogger on while driving at or
above
45 mph (72 km/h), it will stay on as long as that
speed is maintained.
You must press the button to shut
it
off.
