In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control and audio systems offered with your Chevrolet.
Be sure to read
about the particular systems supplied
with your vehicle.
Comfort Controls

The knob with the fan symbol selects the force of air
you want. To turn the fan off, turn the knob to OFF.
Ten1perat.w-e Control
If your system does not have the auxiliary temperature
control option, the right knob changes the temperature
of the air coming through the system. Turn this knob
toward red (clockwise) for warmer air. Turn
it toward
blue (counterclockwise) for cooler air.
If your system does have the auxiliary temperature control
option, the center levers change the temperature of the air
coming through the system. The
DRIV lever sets the
temperature for the driver
and rear seat passengers, and
the
PASS lever sets the temperature for the front seat
passenger. For maximum defroster performance, set the
DRIV and PASS levers at full warm.
Mode Knob
The left knob has several settings to control the direction
of airflow. For each setting, set the temperature to
a
comfortable setting.
MAX: This setting recirculates much of the air inside
your vehicle and sends it through the instrument
panel outlets.
A/C: This setting brings in outside air and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
+fl BI-LEVEL: 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.

/J VENT This setting brings in outside air and
directs
it through the instrument panel outlets.
'fl FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out
of the defrost and side window vents.
+fl DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go
to the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side
window vents.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
MAX with
the temperature control all
the way in the blue area. 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 A/C with
the
temperature control in the blue area. 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-LEVEL with the temperature control in
the middle. 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 FLOOR with the temperature control
all the way in the red area. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts. 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 System
Adjust the direction of airflow by moving the
louvered vents.
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when
it is moving. Outside
air
will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan is running.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s

ilation Ti-
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use
VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle.
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, set the
mode to FLOOR 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.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps
air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows.
To defrost the windows quickly, use
DEFROST with
the temperature knob(s) all the way in
the red area. To warm passengers while keeping the
windows clean, use DEFOG.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog
from the rear
window. Press the button to
turn the defogger on.

It will turn itself off after about ten minutes. If you turn
it on again, the defogger will only run for about five
minutes before turning off. You can also turn
it off by
turning
off the ignition or pressing the button again.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or decal across the defogger grid.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are
all windows clean inside and outside?
0 Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
0 Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked
all levels?
Lamps: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?
0 Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough for
long-distance driving?
Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure?
along your route? Should you delay your trip a
short
time to avoid a major storm system?
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?
0 Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook
Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”?
Or is
it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it
highway hypnosis, lack
of awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch of road with
the
same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the
road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind
against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t let it
happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the
road in
less than a second, and you could crash and
be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that it can happen.
Then here
are some tips:
0 Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.
0 Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
0 If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0 Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that
you’ve been stopped by the snow.
0 Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
If you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body
insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor
mats
-- anything you can wrap around yourself or
tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
You can run the engine
to keep warm, but be careful.
A CAUTION:
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill
you. You can’t see
it or smell it, so you might not
know
it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of your vehicle, especially any
that
is blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time
to be sure snow
doesn’t collect there.
Open
a window just a little on the side of the
vehicle that’s
away from the wind. This will help
keep CO out.
