3f: Sets the fan speed. To select the
:orce of air you want, turn the knob.
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 sunny
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in two ways. Cool air
is directed to the upper portion of your
body through the instrument panel
outlets, and 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
coolant 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 Coolant Heater.
BLEND: This setting divides the air
flow equally between the heater duets
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

lever to
HOT, set the upper lever to
DEF and turn the fan control to HI.

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.
Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio
systems available for your Chevrolet,
and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the
system in your vehicle.

almost undetectable until it is too late.

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
Increase volume slowly until you hear

comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
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, DelcoB 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.
