After you have changed the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter, you will need to resynchronize
the transmitter. To do this, press the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons together and hold for approximately
seven seconds (or until the horn chirps three times). You
will need to use this procedure if your vehicle has lost
battery power for an extended period of time.
Trunk Lid
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and
the trunk:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT. That will force outside air into
your vehicle. See ªComfort Controlsº in
the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and

Comfort Controls
Air Conditioning with Electronic Controls
With this system, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. The system works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.
Fan Knob
The left knob selects the force of air you want. To turn
the fan off, turn the knob to OFF. The fan must be on to
run the air conditioning compressor.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan knob is
turned to the highest setting, regardless of the mode
setting, your passenger compartment air filter (if
equipped) may need to be replaced. See ªMaintenance
Scheduleº and ªPassenger Compartment Air Filter º in
the Index.Temperature Knob
The right knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob clockwise
(toward red) for warmer air. Turn it counterclockwise
(toward blue) for cooler air.
Mode Push Buttons
The upper row of push buttons control the direction of
airflow. For each setting, set the temperature to a
comfortable setting. Each button has an indicator which
will glow when the button is pressed.
UPPER: This setting directs air through the
instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air two ways. Half
of the air is directed through the instrument panel outlets.
Most of the remaining air is directed through the floor
ducts and a little to the defrost and side window vents.
FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of
the defroster and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go
to the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side
window vents. The air conditioning compressor will run

Driver Temperature Knob
The left (DRIVER) knob sets the temperature for the
entire system when the right (PASS) knob is in the center
or neutral position. Turn DRIVER knob clockwise (toward
red) to raise the temperature. Turn it counterclockwise
(toward blue) to lower the temperature. The display will
show your selection for a few seconds, then the outside
temperature will show. If you push the knob the set
temperature will again be displayed for a few seconds,
then the outside temperature will show.
Passenger Temperature Knob
The right (PASS) knob
adjusts the air temperature
on the passenger's side so it
is warmer or cooler than the
temperature set by
the driver.
Turn the PASS knob clockwise (toward red) to raise the
temperature. Turn it counterclockwise (toward blue) to
lower the temperature. The passenger temperature will
not be shown in the display.Auto Button
For the most efficient operation you should press the
AUTO button and set the system temperature. The
system will select the best fan speed and airflow settings
to keep you comfortable. The air conditioning
compressor will run if the outside temperature is above
40
F (4.5
C). You may notice a delay of three to
four minutes before the fan comes on.
Off Button
Push the OFF button to turn the system off. The display
will show OFF and outside temperature. The system will
continue to automatically control air temperature to the
last set temperature.
Manual Control
If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle, set the system to the
temperature and fan speed you want. Next, push the
desired airflow direction pushbutton. The system will
try to maintain the temperature you set using the mode
you select. The following suggestions will help the
system run more efficiently in manual mode.

Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan is running.
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, set the
mode to FLOOR or LOWER and the fan to the
highest speed 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.Audio Systems
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.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR until the correct hour appears. The
letter A or P may appear on the display for AM or PM.

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in
this player.
The longer side with the tape visible should face to the
right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape
can be inserted and will begin playing. If you hear
nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in
squarely. Press EJECT to remove the tape and start over.While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS, TONE, SEEK and SCAN controls just as
you do for the radio. Other controls may have different
functions when a tape is inserted. The display will show
TP with a box around it and an arrow to show which
side of the tape is playing.
Your tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or
chrome tape is inserted, HI
-BIAS appears on the
display. If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is
off, first press EJECT or RCL.
If E and a number appear on the radio display, the tape
won't play because of an error.

E10: The tape is tight and the player can't turn the
tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the
open end down and try to turn the right hub
counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape
may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is
working properly.

E11: The tape is broken. Try a new tape.

E14: Wrapped tape. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.
