1996 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE manual radio set

Pressing the AUTO button will display the requested
temperature, fan speed'and
air delivery mode for five
seconds, then change to display the outside air
temperature. Be careful not to put anything over the
sensor located in the middle
of the instrument panel near
the windshield, or over the sensor
in the gnlle above the
radio. These sensors are used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
The exterior temperature display sensor is in front
of the
car, near the radiator. This displayed temperature is most
accurate when the vehicle
is moving. During stops, or
while idling, the display shows the previous driving
temperature for best system control.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning
on the fan until warm air is available.
The length
of delay depends on outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature, and time since the engine
was last started. Pushing the
fan button will override this
delay and change the fan to a selected single speed.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine.
Manual Operation

fan speed.
