1968 Pontiac Sales Manual

6-way Power Bench Front Seat (Code 561). Designed to provide greater comfort and to lessen fatigue for all size drivers. At the touch of a button, this power seat raises, lowers, tilts forward or backward and moves forward or backward. Optional at extra cost on Catalina, Executive, Bonneville and Grand Prix series.

Left-side Power Bucket Front Seat Adjuster (Code 564). Maximum convenience in settings driver’s seat “just right” for maximum comfort. Moves seat forward and backward – also up and down. Extra-cost option on all models equipped with Bucket front seats, except Firebirds.

Automatic Temperature Control Air Conditioning (Code 581). The epitome of precise climate control for car interiors. Once the desired interior comfort level ahs been preset, the system automatically maintains it all year long by mans of built-in sensors that continually “analyze” incoming air. The system cools in hot weather and warms in cold weather. For utmost mild weather comfort, the unique bi-level air distribution simultaneously directs mildly heated air through lower outlets and mildly cooled air through upper outlets. Available as option on Catalina, Executive, Bonneville and Grand Prix.

Bi-level Tri-comfort Air Conditioning (Code 582). New design incorporates improved operation and greater all-season comfort along with easier settings. New six-pushbutton panel permits pinpoint control. In mild weather, the improved air distribution sends mildly warm air through heater outlets and mildly cool air through air conditioning outlets. Central air outlet has new breakaway feature for added safety. Available at extra cost on all models, except Firebird Sprint.

Power Door Locks (Code 541). A great safety advantage. Master switches on both front doors enable either driver or front-seat passenger to lock or unlock all doors simultaneously. Right-hand switch has extra convenience, too, when driver gets out on curb side. Extra-cost option on Catalina, Executive, Bonneville and Grand Prix series.

Deck-lid Release (Code 492). What a convenience – especially in bad weather. All the driver does to unlock trunk is depress the control button which is inside the glove box. Of course, trunk may also be unlocked with key. Available at extra cost on all models, except Firebirds and station wagons.
