Air Vents - Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1971 Owner's Manual

windshield wipers work electrically
and are not affected by engine op-
eration.
Push the control lever to the
right to start the electric wind-
shield wiper. The two-speed elec-
tric wiper has both a "low" and a
"high" speed position.
Pressing the control will send a
measured amount of water or other
cleaning agent onto the windshield
and will also cause the wiper lever
to move thus starting the wiper
motor. The wiper will continue to
operate until manually turned off
at the wiper lever.
Fill the washer jar only % full
during the winter to allow for ex-
pansion if the temperature should
fall low enough to freeze the solu-
tion.
• Check washer fluid level regu-
larly-do it frequently when the
weather is bad.
• Use GM OPTIKLEEN to pre-
vent freezing damage, and to
provide better cleaning.
• Do not use radiator anti-freeze
in windshield washer; it could
cause paint damage.
• In cold weather, warm the wind-
shield with defrosters before
using washer - to help prevent
icing that may seriously obscure
vision.
Air Vents
Two control knobs located in
each kick panel open and close the
air vents. With Astro-Ventilation
dash outlets and kick panel outlets
complement each other to provide
the desired air flow into the car.
For maximum air flow from the
dash outlets, the kick pad control
should be pushed in to close the
kick pad vents. The amount of air
entering the car through this sys-
tem is dependent upon vehicle
speed.

Four Season Air Conditioning
equipped cars have no kick panel
vents since the vents are a part of
the air conditioning system. How-
ever, the upper (Astro) vent con-
trol knob can be adjusted to regu-
late or shut off the desired amount
of air flowing through the upper
vent outlet.
NOTE: See engine exhaust gas
caution at the beginning of this
