1997 CHEVROLET EXPRESS clock

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the wheel is turned to full brilliance, and then into
the first detent position, the radio display and PRNDL
display will go to the day mode (full intensity).
This is
known as “parade” mode. The rest
of the I/P
illumination will stay
in the maximum dimming state
(full brilliance dimming). Turning the wheel up one
more detent will activate the interior dome light circuit
(with slightly higher effort).
The dome lights cannot be turned
on by depressing the
dome light switch button, located below the parWhead
lamp switch knob. This switch is a dome lamp off
switch and will only interrupt inputs from the door jamb
switches, inhibiting interior light operation when
depressed. It will not inhibit the light function from
the
I/P dimmer switch.
The delayed entry will allow
you to enter or exit your
vehicle with the lights staying on for about
20 seconds
after the door
is closed or ignition is cycled.
Rotate
the switch knob clockwise to the parking lamp
symbol
to turn on:

Rotate
the switch knob clockwise again to the master
lighting symbol to turn
on all the lamps listed above as
well as the headlamps.
Rotate the switch counterclockwise to OFF to
turn off
your lamps and lights.

next to the switch knob up to
adjust instrument panel lights. Rotate the thumb wheel
up to
the first notch to return the radio display and
gearshift indicator Vacuum Fluorescence
(VF) display
to full intensity when the headlamps or parking lamps
are
on.
Rotate the thumb wheel up to the second notch to
activate the interior dome lamps.
You can switch your headlamps from high to low beam

controls the fan speed. The knob has four speed
positions. To increase airflow, move the knob toward
HI. To decrease airflow, move it toward LO. To turn the
fan off, move the mode knob on the far right to OFF.
Temperature Knob
The middle knob panel lets you select the relative
temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area
of your vehicle. This knob will allow
