OFF: The system is off.
VENT Air flows through the upper air vents.
12 BI-LEVEL: Air is directed through the upper air
vents and the heater ducts.
'!A HEATER: This setting directs most of the air
through the heater ducts and some
of the air through the
windshield defroster vents.
9 BLEND: Air is directed through the windshield
defroster vents and the heater ducts.
DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air
through the windshield defroster vents and some of the
air through the heater ducts.
Air Conditioning (Option)
The air conditioning system uses the same controls as
the heating system, except that the air control knob has
two extra settings, described below.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 compressor uses power and 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.

3. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.
Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it.
1. Turn the air control knob to HEATER.
2. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to a
comfortable setting.
If your vehicle is equipped with an optional engine coolant
heater, you can use it in cold weather (around 20°F/-8”C
or lower) to improve heater performance on initial
start up.
Because an engine coolant heater warms the engine
coolant, your vehicles heating system can more quickly
and efficiently provide heat for your vehicle’s passenger
area. See “Engine Coolant Heater”
in the Index.
Bi-Level Heating
You may want to use bi-level heating on cool, but sunny
days. This setting directs
cool air toward your body and
warmer air toward your feet.
1. Turn the air control knob to BI-LEVEL.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to a
comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.

Adjust the direction of airflow by moving the louvered vents.
Your Chevrolet’s flow-through ventilation system
supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the blower
fan is running.
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.
1. Turn the air control knob
to VENT.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to a
comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.
Ventilation Tips
0
0 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
fan control knob to the right 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
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.
The side window defogging works equally as well
in the
HEATER, BLEND and DEFROST modes.

The rear window defogger
uses
a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear
window.
Press the right side of the switch to turn on the defogger.
An indicator light will come
on to remind you that the
defogger is on. The defogger will turn
off automatically
after about
10 minutes of use. If you turn it on again, the
defogger will operate for about five minutes only.
You
can also turn the defogger off by pressing the left side of
the switch.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or a decal 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.

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 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 advanced engineering that
went into it.
If you have power door locks, your vehicle has a feature
called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP you
can play your audio system even after the ignition is off.
