Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defogger will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to high 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 seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
The air vents are located in the center and on the sides of
your instrument panel. You can move the vents to direct
the flow of air or close the vents altogether. When you
close a vent, it will increase the flow of air coming out
of any vents that are open.
If your vehicle does not have air conditioning, there are
air vent controls located below the instrument panel.Audio Systems
Your Delco Electronics audio system has been designed

3-11 Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:

Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.

Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
-- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two
-way radio -- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very
important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle's engine, Delco Electronics radio or
other systems, and even damage them. Your
vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
