1997 CHEVROLET TRACKER Owners Manual

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.
For normal cooling, push the
A/C button and move the
air intake lever to CIRCULATE. For faster cooling,
move the lever to RECIRCULATE. Then move the
airflow lever to VENT, the temperature control lever
toward the left and the fan control lever toward the
fan symbol.
On days when
it is raining or the humidity is high,
follow these dehumidifying steps to help clean windows
that are cloudy with moisture. Push the A/C button.
Move the air intake lever to CIRCULATE. Move the
airflow lever to DEFROST and
the fan control lever
toward the fan symbol. Adjust
the temperature control
lever to
a comfortable setting.

Heating
For the quickest results, move the air intake lever to
RECIRCULATE. Move the airflow lever to FLOOR,
the temperature control lever toward the right for
warmer air and the
far, control lever toward the fan
symbol.
You should switch to CIRCULATE once in a
while to avoid stale air and cloudy windows.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures, when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
ymr vehicle.
Move the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and the
airflow lever
to BI-LEVEL. Adjust the temperature
control lever to
a comfortable setting and move the fan
control lever toward the fan symbol.
Your Geo’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when
it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the fan is running
and the air intake lever is at CIRCULATE. Your
vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the
direction and amount
of airflow inside the vehicle. Push
the outlet
up or down to direct airflow to your
preference. Increase or reduce the amount
of airflow by
opening and closing the louvers.

Ventilation Tips
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, move the fan
control lever toward the fan symbol 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
Slide the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and the
airflow lever to DEFROST to direct air to the
windshield vents.
Then slide the temperature control
lever toward the right and the fan lever toward the fan
symbol. When the windshield
is clear, turn down the
fan speed.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid
to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Press the switch to turn
on the defogger. An indicator
light will come on below the switch to remind you that
the defogger is on. Press the switch again to turn the
defogger
off. The rear window defogger will also turn
off
if you turn the ignition switch to ACC or LOCK, but
will turn
back on when the ignition is turned back on.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or
a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window.

NOTICE:
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.
