System Controls
Fan Knob
The left knob selects the force of air you want when the
system is not in AUTO. The display will show the
speed. To turn the system
off, push the knob.
Driver Temperature Knob
The right knob sets the temperature for the entire system
when the light on the
PASS button isn’t lit. If the light is
lit, the knob sets the temperature for the driver. Turn the
knob toward red (clockwise) to r&ise the temperature.
Turn it toward blue (counterclockwise) to lower the
temperature. The display
will show your selection for a
few seconds, then the outside temperature will show. If
you push the knob, the system will control the fan speed
and air flow. AUTO will show
on the display.

Passenger Temperature Knob
The knob on the passenger's
door adjusts the air
.temperature on the
passenger's side
so it is
warmer or colder- than -the
temperature set by the
driver.
Push the PASS button on the system face
so the light
on
it is lit. Turn the knob on the door toward red
(clockwise) to raise the temperature. Turn it toward blue

Mode Buttons
The center panel has' several settings to control the
direction of air flow when the system is not in 'AUTO.
The indicator light on the button will glow when the
button is pressed.
RECIRC: 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 unless the outside
temperature
is below 40°F (4.5"C).
UPPER: This setting brings in outside air and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV. This setting brings in the outside air and
directs it two-ways. Half of the air is directed through
the instrument panel outlets.
Most of the remaining air is
directed through the floor ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents.
LOWER: This setting sends most of the air through the
ducts' near the floor. The rest comes out of the defrost
and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to the
floor ducts and half to the defrost and side window
vents.
DEF: This setting directs most of the air through the
defrost and side window vents. Some of the air goes
to
the floor ducts. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below
40°F (4.5"C).

Automatic Control
For the most efficient operation, you ,should.set the
system temperature and press the knob. The system will
select the best fan speed and air flow, settings to keep
you comfortable. The air conditioning compressor will
run
if the outside temperature is above 40°F (4.5 ” C).
YOU may notice
a delay of three to four minutes before
the fan comes on.
Manual Control
If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation
in your vehicle, push UPPER, BI-LEV,
LOWER, DEFOG or
DEE AUTO will go off the
display. Set the system to the temperature and fan
speed you want. The system will try to maintain the
temperature you set using the mode you select. The
following suggestions will help the system run more
efficiently in manual mode.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to
let hot inside
air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use RECIRC. If
this setting is used for long periods
of time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use UPPER with the
A/C 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-LEV with the A/C’ button pushed in.’
The system will bring in outside air and direct it to your
upper body, while sending slightly warmed air to your
lower body. You may notice this temperature difference
more at some times than.others.
Heating
On cold days use LOWER. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
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-UPPER to direct outside air through
your vehicle.
Your vehicle also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later in
this section.

Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air info the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan
is running.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and fkont 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, set the
mode to
FLQOR or LOWER 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.
'0 Keep the air path under the front seats'clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your
vehicle.

slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper
lane well in advance.

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
Oldsmobile retailers all across North America. They’ll
be ready and willing to help
if you need it.
