1996 CHEVROLET TRACKER climate control

Section 3 Comfort Controls and Audio Systems
In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort
control and audio systems offered with your Geo. Be
sure to read about the particular systems supplied with
your vehicle.
Comfort Controls
With this system, you can control the heating and
ventilation
in your Geo. If you have the air conditioning
option, you can also control cooling.
Climate Control System
Your vehicle also has the flow-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
Airflow Lever
dm 9 VENT This position directs the airflow through
the instrument panel vents.
*+ BI-LEVEL: This position directs air though the
instrument panel vents and toward the floor.

w2 FLOOR: This position directs air toward the floor.
wy DEFOG: This position directs air toward the
floor, the windsheld and side windows.
DEFROST: This position directs air to the
windshield and side windows.
Fan Control Lever
Slide the lever away from OFF to turn the system on.
Move the lever toward the fan symbol to increase the
fan’s speed.
Temperature Control Lever
Slide the lever to change the temperature of the air
flowing from the system. Move it to the right for
warmer
air and to the left for cooler air. Without
optional air conditioning, the air temperature cannot
be
less than the outside air temperature.
Air Intake Lever
RECIRCULATE: Choose this position to recirculate
the inside
air through the comfort control system.
CIRCULATE: Choose this position to circulate outside
air through the comfort control system.
Air Conditioner Controls (Option)
The air conditioning system
uses the same controls as
described previously. The
function
of each lever is
explained under “Climate
Control System” in this
part.
The incoming air is
cooled and dehumidified
instead
of being heated.
Push the
A/C button to change your comfort control
system
from heating to air conditioning. A light will
come on when the air conditioning is on. The A/C
button can also control the humidity
in your vehicle.
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.

While the tires available on General Motors passenger
cars and light trucks
may vary with respect to these
grades, they must also conform to Federal safety
requirements and additional General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria
(TPC) standards.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test course. For
example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the nom due to variations
in driving habits, service practices
and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
Traction -- A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B, and
C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning:
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based
on braking (straightahead) traction tests and does not
include cornering (turning) traction,
Temperature -- A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on, a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade
C corresponds to a level of perfol’mance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
B and
A represent higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning:
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading,
either separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
