Rear Window Defogger (Option)
b
I -c
1 The lines you see on
I the rear window warm
the glass. Press the
button to start warming
your window. After
10
minutes, it will go off
by itself or pressing the
button again during the
heating cycle will shut
it
off. If you need
additional warming
time, push the button
again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could
cut and damage the heater. Your warranty would
not cover this damage.
And don’t plat decals
there; you might have to scrape them
off.
Audio Systems
Your Delcom audio system has been designed to operate
easily and give years of listening pleasure.
But you will
get the most enjoyment out
of it if you acquaint yourself
with it first. Find out what your Delcoa 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.
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). And,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound
to come and go.
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.
