You will find air vents in the center and on the sides of your instrument
panel.
You can move the vents to direct the flow of air, or close the vents
altogether. When you close a vent, it will increase the flow
of air coming out
of any vents that are open.
If your vehicle does not have air conditioning, there are air vents in each
kick panel below the instrument panel. Each vent has a handle to open and
close it.
Heater Controls
If your vehicle does
not have air
conditioning, your
heater controls will
look like this.
Fan Lever:
The lever at the top of the system has four positions. To increase the air
flow, move the lever toward HI. To decrease the air flow, move it toward
OFF.

defrost vents. Use this when you get fog or ice on the windshield.
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

VENT The air comes out at the vents on your instrument panel and at your

BI-LEV A/C: With this, outside air comes in through the heater floor vent
and the instrument panel vents. This setting is useful
in cool weather with
bright sunlight.
NORM A/C: This setting cools the outside air. If you first use MAX, use
NORM as soon as the vehicle has cooled down, so outside air will be going
through your vehicle.
MAX A/C: This cools the air the fastest. Move the other lever all the way to
Cold.
MAX lets in only a little air from the outside. You can use MAX at
first when it’s really hot outside and you need to cool off quickly.
NOTICE:
If vehicle is parked with function lever in MAX A/C position
and on an incline with the right side lower than the left, t\
hen water may leak into the passenger compartment in an unusually
heavy rain.
J
OFF: The blower is off, but air still will come from outlets at the front of
your vehicle. The system
will try to keep the air at the chosen temperature.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine,
your heating system
will produce warmer air faster, to heat the passenger
compartment
in cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has this option the rear window will have lines running
across the glass. These lines heat your window.
For best results, clear the window
of as much snow or ice as possible first.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To turn on the rear
window defogger, find the switch marked
REAR DEFOG on
your instrument panel.
Press
“ON” until the
light
in the switch
comes
on, then release
it. The rear window
defogger will only
work
if the ignition
switch is turned to
RUN.
You can turn the defogger off at any time by pressing “OFF.” The defogger
will shut itself off after several minutes
so that the glass does not get too
hot. If the window
still isn’t clear, turn the defogger on again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the defogger. Your warranty would not cover this damage. Don’t
put decals there, either. You might have to scrape them
off.
Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate easily and give
years of listening pleasure. But
you will get the most enjoyment out of it,
you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco@ system can
do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most o
of the advanced engineering that went into it.

Be aware that 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:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.

FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach 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, especially 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 broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM’ is a registered trademark
of Motorola,
Inc.)
If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your “STEREO” light will
come on when you’re receiving
it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a
1 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 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.
