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.
Dolby@
This feature automatically removes noise on Dolby encoded tapes (no
button is required).
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many
AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of Motorola,
Inc.) If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“ST” light will
come on when you’re receiving it.
*Dolby@ is a registered trademark of Dolby Laboratories.
This means that your sound system can produce quality AM sound
comparable to FM stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the
high frequencies you need for the best sound. ,In addition to improved
sound quality,
AMAX@ includes more stations on the AM band. You
don’t have to
do anything in your radio because AMAX@ is automatic.

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 cause
failure
of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault.
If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions provided with it.
~
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over
time. Always make sure that the cassette tape is in good condition before
you have your tape player serviced.
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

L1
We’re all familiar with traffic lights or stop lights. Often green arrows are
being used in the lights for improved traffic control. On some multilane
roads, green arrows light up, indicating that traffic in one or more lanes
can move or make a turn. Green arrows don’t mean “go no matter what.”
You’ll still need to proceed with caution, yielding the right
of way to -
pedestrians and sometimes to other vehicles.
Some traffic lights also use red arrows to signify that
you must stop before
turning on red.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Many city roads and expressways, and even bridges, use reversible-lane
traffic control during rush hours.
A red X light above a lane means no
driving in that lane at that time.
A green arrow means you may drive in
that lane.
Look for the signs posted to warn drivers what hours and days
these systems are in effect.
Pavement markings add
to traffic signs and signals. They give information
to drivers without taking attention from the roadway.
A solid yellow line
on your side of the road or lane means “don’t cross.’’
YOUR OWW SIGNALS
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not only more polite, it’s safer to let
other drivers know what you are doing. And in some places the law
requires driver signals.
Turn and lane change signals. Always signal when you plan to turn or
change lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals out the window: Left arm straight
out for a left turn, down for slow or about-to-stop, and up for a right turn.
Slowing down. If time allows, tap the brake pedal once or twice in
advance of slowing or stopping. This warns the driver behind
you.
Disabled. Your four-way flashers signal that your vehicle is disabled or is
a hazard. See “Hazard Warning Flashers” in the Index.
