You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one may read the correct mileage. This
is because your
car’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory. If it isn’t stored, then
this odometer
is set at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must show the
old reading and when the new one was installed.
WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that may De on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before
it becomes
serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you
or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you
know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system that works along
with.
. the ,. warning lights. See “Driver Information System” in the Index.

vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
TRANS FLUID RESET (Northstar Only)
With the engine not running and the ignition ON, press and hold the
OFF and REAR DEFOG buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET
message appears in the Information Center (between S and 20 seconds).
This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile that you have your

TRUNK OPEN
This message indicates that your trunk is open when the Ignition is ON.
VERY LOW REFRIGERANT
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is low enough to cause damage to the
NC
compressor. To avoid damage, the A/C compressor automatically turns
off and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from
“AUTO” to
“ECON” and remain there. Have vour A/C system serviced if
this message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount of steering effort is greatly increased to provide
a manual like
steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability\

The system will go
off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P7’ (Park), the system will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on
for two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off try just pushing the switch again.
Use
the defroster to clear the windshield. In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is
a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield
will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delcoa sound 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 Delcos 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.
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 if you ever get it.
