In this section you’ll find out how  to  operate the  comfort 
control  and audio systems offered  with  your  vehicle.  Be 
sure to  read about  the particular systems supplied  with 
your  vehicle. 
Comfort  Controls 
With  these  systems-  you  can control the heating, cooling 
and  ventilation  in your  vehicle. 
Standard  Climate  Control  System 
Fan  Control 
The switch  with  the fan symbol changes  the fan  speed. 
To  increase the fan speed,  move the switch  upward 
toward  HI.  To decrease  the fan  speed,  move  the  switch 
downward  toward 
LO. 
Temperature  Knob 
The  upper knob regulates  the  temperature  of the air 
coming  through  the  system.  Turn  the knob clockwise  for 
warmer 
air. Turn  the  knob  counterclockwise  for  cooler air.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature Knob 
The upper  knob  regulates  the  temperature  of  the  air 
coming  through  the  system.  Turn  the  knob  clockwise  for  warmer 
air. Turn the  knob  counterclockwise  for  cooler  air. 
Mode Knob 
The  lower knob allows  you to choose  the direction  of 
air  delivery. 
OFF: This setting turns  the system  off. Some  outside air 
will  still enter  the  vehicle  whenever the  vehicle  is 
moving forward. 
MAX NC: This setting  provides  maximum  cooling 
with the least amount  of work. MAX A/C recirculates 
much 
of the air inside  your  vehicle so it cools  quickly. 
A/C: This setting cools  the air entering  your  vehicle  and 
directs  it  through  the  instrument panel outlets. 
+# BI-LEVEL A/C: Air is  delivered  through  the  heater 
floor  outlets 
as well as the  instrument  panel  outlets. 
+e 
/J VENT: This  setting  directs airflow  through  the 
instrument  panel outlets.  The air conditioning 
compressor  is  not  working  when  VENT  is  selected. 
+’ HEATER: This setting directs warmed air through 
the heater floor outlets  and  windshield defroster outlets. 
+e 
0 
w. 
+’ BLEND: Airflow  is divided equally  between  the 
heater  floor outlet  and  the  windshield  defroster outlets. 
DEFROST: This setting directs  most air through 
the  windshield  defroster 
outlets and some through the 
heater outlets. 
Air  Conditioning  (Option) 
On  hot days, open the windows  long enough to  let  hot 
inside  air escape. This reduces  the  time 
it takes for your 
vehicle  to cool  down.  Then  keep  your  windows closed 
for  the  air  conditioner to  work  its  best. 
For  quick  cool-down 
on very  hot  days,  use MAX A/C 
with the  temperature  knob  turned  counterclockwise.  This 
setting  should  be  used  to  keep  odors  and/or  dust  from 
entering  the  vehicle.  For  normal  cooling  on  hot  days,  use 
A/C with the  temperature  knob  turned  counterclockwise. 
On 
cool but  sunny  days, use BI-LEVEL A/C to deliver 
warm  air to the floor  and cooler air  to  the  instrument 
panel  outlets. 
If  you  have  the  “VORTEC” 
4300 engine, 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  temperature.

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. 
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.
