Ventilation Tips Audio Systems
0 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
fan control to the highest setting 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. Your
Delco Electronics audio system has been designed
to operate easily and give years
of listening pleasure.
You will get the most enjoyment out
of it if you acquaint
yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco
Electronics system can do and how to operate all its
controls, to be sure you’re getting the most out of the
advanced engineering that went into it.
