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.
Comfort Controls
With this system, you can control the heating and ventilation in your Pontiac. If you have the air
conditioning option, you can also control cooling.
Your vehicle also has the flow-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
Heater Controls
Fan Control Knob
* FAN: Turn this knob to select the force of air
you want.
Temperature Control Knob
Turn the knob to change the temperature of the air flowing
from the heating system. Turn it to the right for warmer
air
and to the left for cooler air. The temperature of the air can
not be less than the temperature of the outside
air.
Air Control Knob
OFF:
The system is off.
4.
~9 BI-LEVEL: Air is directed through the upper air d.
vents and the heater ducts.
9 VENT: Air flows through the upper air vents.

Defogging and Defrosting the Windshield
1. Turn the air control knob to DEFROST.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired
setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.
Air Conditioner Controls (Option)
The air conditioning system uses the same controls as the
heating system, except that the
slir control knob has two
extra settings, described below. For an explanation of all
the controls, see “Heater Controls” earlier in this part.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or quick cool-down
on very hot days.
This setting recirculates most of the air
inside your vehicle. If it is used for long periods of time,
the
air may become dry. This setting directs air through
the upper air vents.
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days. This setting
cools outside
air and directs it through the upper air vents.
The air conditioner compressor operates in MAX, A/C,
BI-LEVEL, BLEND and DEFROST when the outside
temperature is above freezing. When the
air conditioner
is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle’s engine speed and power.
This is normal because
the system is designed to cycle the compressor on and
off
to keep the desired cooling and help fuel economy.
Cooling
The air conditioner works best if you keep your
windows closed. On very hot days, open the windows
just long enough for the hot air to escape.
1. Turn the air control knob to A/C for normal cooling.
For faster cooling move the knob to MAX.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to a comfortable
3. Move the fan cdfitrol knob to the desired speed.
