2008 Saturn ASTRA
Technology
16
The new ASTRA offers numerous advanced features and state-of-the-art audio
systems that make traveling much more enjoyable. This level of technology is
quite surprising in the small entry-level car market. It is critical that you take the
time to learn how to properly operate these features so that you can effectively
demonstrate them to customers.
It is important that you know how to use
ASTRA’s numerous features and can
properly explain their operation to your
customers, both during the selective
presentation/demo drive and at delivery.
Make sure you review the ASTRA
Owner’s Manual and Audio Systems
Quick Reference Guide as well as the Get
to Know Your ASTRA Guide. Also, watch
the ASTRA Launch Training DVD/CD-
ROM for video instructions on how to
operate key features.
