The right knob has several settings to control the
direction
of air flow. For each setting, set the
temperature to a comfortable setting.
0 MAX (Option): This setting recirculates much of
the air inside your vehicle and sends it through the
instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically
in this setting when it
is needed to help dry the air in the vehicle.
2 VENT: This setting brings in outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel.
BI-LEVEL: This setting brings in outside air and
directs
it two ways. Some air is directed through the
instrument panel outlets. Most of the air is directed
through the floor ducts and a little
to the defrost and side
window vents.
1j FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air through
the ducts near the floor. The rest comes
out of the
defroster and side window vents.
9 DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to
the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side window
vents.
9 DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some
of
the air goes to the floor ducts. If your vehicle is
equipped with an
air conditioner, the air conditioning
compressor will
run automatically in this setting when it
is needed to help dry
the air in the vehicle.
Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the A/C button to operate the air conditioner
compressor. The indicator light above the button will
glow when the button
is pressed. You don’t have to
press
the button to run the compressor in MAX or
DEFROST.
Air Conditioning (Option)
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for
your vehicle to cool down, which should help fuel
economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
MAX with
the temperature
knob all the way in the blue area. If this
3-2

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine setting is used for long periods of time, the air in your
vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling
on hot days, use VENT with the
temperature knob in the blue area and the
NC button
pushed in. The system will bring in outside air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI-LEVEL with the temperature knob in
the middle and the A/C button pushed
in. The system
will bring in outside air and direct slightly warmer air to
your lower body. You may notice this temperature
difference more at some times
than others.
Heating
On cold days use FLOOR with the temperature all the
way in the red area. The system will bring in outside air,
heat it and send
it to the floor ducts.
Your vehicle has heat ducts that are directed toward the
rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear
of
obstructions so the heated air can reach the rear seat
passengers.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s
cold outside (0°F (-18°C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms
the coolant your engine and heating
system use
to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the
flow-through ventilation system described later
in this
section.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. To defrost
the windows quickly, use
DEFROST with the temperature knob all
the way in the
red area. To warm passengers while keeping the
windows clean, use
DEFOG.
To defog the side windows while using the air
conditioner, set the right control to BI-LEVEL, the fan
control
to the highest setting, and press the A/C button.
Aim
the side vents toward the side windows. For
increased air flow
to the side vents, close the center
vents.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear
window.
Press
the button to t11rn the
defogger on.
It will turn
itself
off after about ten
minutes.
If you turn it on again, the defogger will only run for
about five minutes before turning off. You can also turn
it off by pressing the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license across the
defogger grid on
the rear window.
I NOTICE:
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
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when
it is moving. Outside
air will
also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan is running.

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.
When you enter
a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
mode knob
to FLOOR and the fan to the highest
speed 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 cle.ar of
objects. This helps air circulate throughout your
vehicle.
Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate
easily and give years of listening pleasure.
You will get
the most enjoyment out of
it if you ac mint yourself
with
it first. Find out what your Delco 9s system can do
and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re
getting the most
out of the advanced engineering that
went into
it.
Setting the Clock
No matter which audio system you have in your vehicle,
setting the clock is easy.

allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move
slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move
to the proper
lane well
in advance. If you miss your exit do not, under
any circumstances, stop and back
up. Drive on to the
next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according
to your speedometer, not
to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend to think
you are going
slower than
you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you
must start when you’re
not fresh -- such as after a day’s
work
-- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part
of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes
you
can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready
to go. If it needs
service, have
it done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service experts in Chevrolet dealers
all across North America. They’ll be
ready and willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
0
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are
all windows clean inside and outside?
Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked
all levels?
Lanzps: Are they all working‘? Are the lenses clean?
Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip.
Is the tread good enough for
long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook
along your route? Should you delay your trip a short
time
to avoid a major storm system?
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That
is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged.
You will need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat
this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do
it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long
as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or
so until help comes.
