Comfort Controls

With this system, you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle.

Standard Climate Control System

Fan Knob

The knob on the left side of the climate control system control panel regulates the fan speed. To increase airflow, move the knob clockwise. To decrease airflow, move it counterclockwise.

Temperature Knob

The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the relative temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area of your vehicle. Move the knob clockwise toward the red area for warmer air. Move the knob counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.

Mode Knob

The right knob on the control panel allows you to choose the direction of air delivery.

OFF: This mode turns the system off. Some outside air will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is moving forward.

MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): This mode provides maximum cooling with the least amount of work. MAX A/C recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly. This setting directs most of the air through the instrument panel vents and a small amount through the floor ducts.

3-2

A/C (Air Conditioning): This setting cools and dehumidifies the air entering your vehicle and directs most of the air through the instrument panel vents and a small amount through the floor ducts.

(Bi Level Air Conditioning): This setting cools and dehumidifies the air entering your vehicle and directs it through the floor ducts as well as the instrument panel outlets.

(Vent): This setting directs most of the air through the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through the floor outlets.

(Floor): This setting directs most of the air through the floor ducts and some air through the windshield defroster outlets.

(Blend): Airflow is divided equally between the floor ducts and the windshield defroster outlets.

(Defrost): This setting directs most air through the windshield defroster outlets and some through the floor ducts.

Air Conditioning

On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best.

For quick cool down on very hot days, use MAX A/C with the temperature knob turned to the left. This setting should be used to keep odors and/or dust from entering the vehicle. For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C with the temperature knob turned to the left.

On cool but sunny days, use Bi Level A/C to deliver warmer air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets.

When the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and power. This is normal because the system is designed to cycle the compressor on and off to keep the desired temperature.

3-3

Heating

The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it. On cold days, use floor mode with the temperature knob turned clockwise. Blend mode is useful in cool weather when you have fog or ice on the windshield or side windows.

If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine, your heating system will produce warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

Defogging and Defrosting

On cool, humid days, use blend mode to keep the windshield and side windows clear.

Use defrost mode to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extreme humid or cold conditions.

Turn the temperature knob clockwise and move the fan knob toward high.

Rear Window Defogger (If Equipped)

If your vehicle has this feature, the rear window will have lines that warm the glass.

For best results, clear the window of as much snow or ice as possible before using the rear window defogger.

To turn on the rear window defogger, find the button marked REAR with the defog symbol on the lower right corner of your climate control system. Press the button until the light in the button comes on, then release it. It will only work if the ignition switch is turned to RUN.

Pressing the REAR button on your climate control system will also activate your heated outside mirrors

(if equipped). This will help to keep ice and snow from collecting on your mirror surfaces.

3-4

The rear window defogger will stay on for five to seven minutes, then turn off. If you need additional warming time, turn it on again. You can turn the defogger off at any time by pressing the button.

Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals 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.

Ventilation System

For mild outside temperatures when little heating or cooling is needed, use vent mode to direct outside air through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument panel outlets.

Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. When the vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow through by selecting any mode except max A/C and any fan speed.

You will find air outlets in the center and on the sides of your instrument panel.

You can direct the airflow side to side by turning the thumbwheel located in the center of the vent. The vent can be tilted up and down also. To control the amount of airflow through the outlets, turn the thumbwheel below the vent.

3-5

Ventilation Tips

D 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.

D When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the fan knob 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.

D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.

Audio Systems

Your 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 audio system can do and how to operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.

Understanding Radio Reception

AM

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.

FM Stereo

FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.

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 do the following:

1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.

2. 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, Delphi 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.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player

A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or may cause failure of the tape player.

Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every

50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLN to indicate that you have used your tape player for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this message appears on the display, your cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to your tapes and player. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to see if it is the tape or the tape player at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.

The recommended cleaning method for your cassette tape player is the use of a scrubbing action, non abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.

The recommended cleaning cassette is available through your dealer (GM Part No. 12344789).

When cleaning the cassette tape player with the recommended non abrasive cleaning cassette, it is possible that the cassette may eject, because the cut tape detection feature on your radio may recognize it as a broken tape. To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use the following steps.


Cassette Tape Player do the following:



3. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.

4. Within five seconds, press and hold the REV and

FWD buttons at the same time for three seconds. The tape symbol will flash on the display, showing that the cut tape detection feature is no longer active.

5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning time.

3-76

If your vehicle is equipped with the AM FM Stereo with Cassette Tape Player and Automatic Tone Control or the AM FM Stereo with Cassette Tape Player (Bose) do the following:



3. Press and hold the TAPE AUX button for five seconds. The tape symbol on the display will flash for two seconds.

4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.

5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning time.

When the cleaning cassette has been ejected, the broken tape detection feature is active again.

You may also choose a non scrubbing action, wet type cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not eject on its own. A non scrubbing action cleaner may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.

The use of a non scrubbing action, dry type cleaning cassette is not recommended.

After you clean the player, press and hold the EJECT button for five seconds to reset the CLN indicator. The radio will display -- to show the indicator was reset.

Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette tape is in good condition before you have your tape player serviced.

Care of Your Remote Cassette Tape Player

A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or may cause failure of the tape player.

Your remote tape player should be cleaned regularly after every 50 hours of use. Your radio may display

CLN to indicate that you have used your remote cassette tape player for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this message appears on the display, your remote cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to your tapes and player.

The recommended cleaning method for your remote cassette tape player is the use of a scrubbing action, non abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.

The recommended cleaning cassette is available through your dealer (GM Part No. 12344789).

3-77

When cleaning the cassette tape player with the recommended non abrasive cleaning cassette, it is possible that the cassette may eject, because the cut tape detection feature on your radio may recognize it as a broken tape.

Use the following procedure to clean your remote cassette tape player:


2. Insert the recommended cleaning cassette.

3. If the cleaning cassette ejects, insert the cassette at least three times to ensure thorough cleaning.

4. Eject the cleaning cassette if it does not eject on its own.

After you clean the remote cassette tape player, press and hold the RECALL button on the radio until CLN appears on the radio display. While still pressing the

RECALL button, press the EJECT button on the remote cassette tape player. Release both buttons when the radio displays --, indicating that the CLN indicator has been reset.

Care of Your Compact Discs

Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.

Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

Care of Your Compact Disc Player

The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.

Fixed Mast Antenna

The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes without being damaged. If the mast should ever become slightly bent, you can straighten it out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, as it might be by vandals, you should replace it.

Check every once in a while to be sure the mast is still tightened to the fender. If tightening is required, tighten by hand, then with a wrench one quarter turn.
