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.
Lever Controls: The upper lever
changes the functions of your system.
The lower lever changes the temperature
of the air coming through the system.
Slide the upper control lever to
OFF to
turn
off the system.
3f : Sets the fan speed. To select the
force of air you want,'turn the knob.
I06
VENT Use when outside temperatures
are mild and little heating or cooling is
needed. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Set the lower
lever to the temperature desired.
B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but SUMY
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in
two 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.
HTR (Heater): This setting brings
heated air through the heater ducts, and
some through the windshield defroster
vents.
If you have the optional 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
warmed. See the
Index under Engine
Block Heater.
BLEND: This setting divides the air
flow equally between the heater ducts
and the windshield defroster vents.
DEF (Defrost): This setting directs
most air through the windshield
defroster vents, and some through the
heater ducts.
Defogging Windows
Slide the lower lever to HOT. To defog
the windows, set the upper lever to
DEF
and turn the fan control to HI.

Air Conditioning (CONX:)
VENT Use on pleasant days when little
heating or cooling is needed,
to direct
outside air into the vehicle.
In this
setting, the air flow
is through the
instrument panel outlets.
B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but sunny
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in two ways. Air is
directed to the upper portion
of your
body through the instrument panel
outlets, and to the lower portion of your
body through the heater ducts. At times,
this temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
HTR (Heater): Use this setting to direct
most of the air flow through the heater
ducts, and some through the windshield
defroster vents.
If
you have the optional 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
warmed. See the

r
?ear Window Defogger (cow.)
Don’t use a razor blade or something
else sharp on the inside
of the rear
window. If you do,
you could cut
or damage
the warming grid, and
the repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your Chevrolet’s flow-through
ventilation system lets outside air into
the vehicle
when it is moving. Outside
air
will also enter the vehicle when the
heater or the air conditioning fan is
running.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster
will work far better, reducing
the chance
of fogging the inside of
your windows.
In cold weather, turn the blower fan to
HI for a few moments before driving
off.
This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the
chance of fogging the inside of your
windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air
to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
