The charging system light will come on briefly when you turn \
the ignition on,
but the engine is not running. As a check to show you the light is working.
Then it should go out once the engine is running.
If it stays on, or comes on
while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the electrical charging
system.
It could indicate that you have a loose accessory drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have
it checked right away. Driving while this light
is on could drain your battery.
The charging system light is
on the left bottom corner of your standard
cluster. It is part
of the digital cluster voltmeter.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and heater/air conditioner. \

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine HTR (Heater): Most of the air comes out near the floor. The rest comes out
from the defroster vents under the windshield and at the front\
side windows.
This is best for cold weather.
VENT The air comes out at the vents on your instrument panel and at your
front side windows. The air conditioner will not run. Adjust t\
he temperature
lever for warmer or cooler air.
BI-LEV NC: With this, outside air comes in through the heater floor vent and
the instrument panel vents.
If you move your temperature control lever
between cold and hot, cooler air will come out of the upper vents while
warmer air comes out of the
floor vent. This setting is useful in cool weather
with bright sunlight.
NORM NC: This setting cools the outside air. If you first used MAX NC, use
NORM NC as soon as the vehicle has cooled down, so outside air will be
going through your vehicle.
MAX NC: This cools the air the fastest. Move the other lever all the \
way to
Cold.
MAX A/C lets in only a little air from the outside. You can use MAX
NC at first when it’s really hot outside and you need to cool off quickly.
When the air conditioning or defrost is on, you may notice a slight increase
or decrease in engine .speed.
Rear Heater
You may have the optional rear heater. The three-speed fan switch is above
the radio. Slide the lever toward
HI for warmer air in the rear area. Move the

Rear Air Conditioning
You may have rear air conditioning. The rear air conditioning switch is loca\
ted
above the radio at the top of the instrument panel. Slide the lever toward
HI
for cooler air in the rear area. Slide the lever to OFF to turn the system off.
If your vehicle has rear air conditioning, setting it on LOW may enhance front
NC performance by allowing trapped refrigerant in rear lines to circulate.
The system
will only send cooled air if the front system is on. It can still be
used
to recirculate air, even if the front system is off.
Before using the rear air conditioning, open the windows to cl\
ear the vehicle
of hot air. Close the windows when using the system.
Rear Window Defogger
HATCH REL REAR DEFOG
If your vehicle has this option the rear window will have lines \
running across
the glass. These lines heat your window.

before using the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window defogger, find the switch marked
Rear Defog on
your instrument panel to the left of the steering column. Press the top of the
switch until the light in the switch comes on, then release it. The rear window
defogger will only work when the ignition is in the

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reac\
h 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, especi\
ally at night.
The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with\
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing
the treble to reduce this noise
if you ever get it.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadca\
sts.
Many AM stations around the country use
C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not.
(C-QUAM@ is a re istered trademark of Motorola, Inc.)
If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM’, 8 your “STEREO” light will come on
when you’re receiving it.
