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.
Standard Climate Control in cold
weather, select a heater function that
blows air through
the floor ducts.
Then turn the blower fan to
HI for a
few moments before driving off. This
will blow moist air from the intake
When you enter a vehicle with
126
ducts toward the floor, not the
windshield. It reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows. If
you have the Electronic Climate
Control,
the AUTO setting does this
for you.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
rn Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio systems available for your Pontiac, and
how to get the best performance from
them. Please read about the system
in
your vehicle.
Hearing damage from loud
noise is almost undetectable
until it
is too late. Your hearing can
adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Take precautions by adjusting the
volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your
hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or
damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until
you he: :omfortably and
clearly.

Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle-like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio-be
sure you can add what
you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with the operation
of
your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio
or other systems, and can even
damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that
has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound
equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
