Section 3 Comfort Controls and Audio Systems
In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control systems and audio systems offered with your
Pontiac. Be sure to read about the particular system
supplied with your vehicle.
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your Comfort Control System uses the new
ozone-friendly R134a refrigerant.
Fresh air
from outside your vehicle flows through your
Pontiac when the car is moving. When the vehicle
is not
moving, you can get outside air
to flow through by
selecting any
air choice (except the rear window
defogger) and any fan speed. The air conditioner and
heater work best if you keep your windows closed while
using them. If
you have the rear seat
passenger outlet, you can
adjust the
air flow toward
either seating area, the floor
or upward.
Adjust the direction
of air flow by moving the louvered
vents on the instrument panel.

Cassette Tape Player (Option):
With the radio turned on, insert a tape into the cassette
door. The cassette symbol will appear in the upper left
corner of the display. While the tape is playing, an arrow
will appear next to the cassette symbol to indicate that
the top or bottom of the tape is playing. Once the tape is
playing, use the VOL, BAL, FADE, TREBLE and
BASS just as you would for the radio.
Your tape player will automatically adjust the
equalization for high bias (metal and Cr02) tapes.
Your tape player is designed to work best with tapes that
are
30 to 46 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that may not work well in this tape player.
If Cln (Clean) appears on the display when you insert
your cassette tape, your cassette player needs to be
cleaned. It will still play cassette tapes, but it should be
cleaned to prevent damage

cassette tape player. See “Cassette Tape Player Care”
later in this section. After you have cleaned the cassette
tape player, press and hold EJECT for five seconds
to

Cassette Tape Player Care
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes that are not stored in their
plastic cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight,
and extreme heat may not operate properly or may cause
premature failure
of the tape player.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is in good condition and that the tape player
is clean
before you have your tape player serviced.
Your tape player should be cleaned each month or after
every
50 hours of use to provide optimum performance.
Your mdio may display Cln to remind you that you have
used your tape player for 50 hours without re-setting the
tape clean timer.
If you notice a reduction in sound
quality, regardless
of when the tape player was last
cleaned, try playing a different cassette tape to see
if the
tape or tape player is at fault. If the second cassette tape
results in no improvement
in sound quality, try cleanine
the tape player. Proper
tape player cleaning should be done with a
scrubbing-action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This
is
a wet-type cleaning system that uses a cleaning
cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs
of the cleaner cassette turn.
If you use this type of
cleaner, the radio may display an error and eject
the
cartridge. This is normal and is the result of an added
feature in the tape player that detects broken tapes. If an
error message is displayed while cleaning, you
will need
to insert the cleaning cassette at least three times to
thoroughly clean the tape player.
You may prefer to use a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner. This type of cleaner uses
a cassette with a fabric
belt which cleans the tape head. This type
of cleaning
cassette will not cause an error, but it may not clean the
tape player as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
Cleaning cassettes are available in most stores that sell
audio products or from your General Motors dealer.
Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning
cassette.
Please note that cassette tape adapter kits for portable
CD players will not work in your cassette player. These
adapters will cause the radio to display an error and the
adapter cassette will be ejected.
