The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use
HEATER with the
temperature knob turned clockwise.
BLEND is useful in
cool weather when
you have fog or ice on the
windshield or side windows.
If
you use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
I
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling
is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside
of your vehicle when it is moving. When the
vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to
flow
through by selecting any mode and any fan speed. You
will find air outlets in the center and on the sides
of
your instrument panel.
You can move the outlets to direct the flow of air, or
close the outlets altogether. When you close an outlet, it
will increase the flow
of air coming out of any outlets
that are open.

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, turn the
blower fan to
HI 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 clear of
objects. This helps air
to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use BLEND to keep the
windshield and side windows clear.
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold
conditions. Turn the temperature knob clockwise and move
the fan control toward HI.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
1
If your vehicle has this option, the rear window will
have lines that warm the glass. For best results, clear the
window of
as much snow or ice as possible before using
the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window defogger, find
the switch
marked REAR
DEFOG on your instrument panel below
the headlamp switch. Press ON
until the light in the
switch conles on, then release
it. It will only work if the
ignition switch
is turned to RUN.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The rear window defogger will stay on for five to seven
minutes, then turn off. If you need additional warming
time, turn
it on again. You can turn the defogger off at
any time by pressing OFF.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid
on the rear window.
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.
Audio Systems
Your Deb@ 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 acquaint yourself
with
it first. Find out what your Delco system can do
and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re
getting the most out
of the adyanced engineering that
went into
it.
