When you enter a vehicle with
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
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.
r-,ldio 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:
0
0 Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
