The following pages describe the audio
systems available for your Oldsmobile,
and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the system

Hearing damage from loud
noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can
adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Take precautions by adjusting the
volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your hearing
adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or
damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until you

I Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be
more effective than braking. For
example, you come over a hill and find
a truck stopped
in your lane, or a car
suddenly pulls out from nowhere,
or a
child darts out from between parked
cars and stops right in front of
you. You
can avoid these problems by braking-if
you can stop in time. But sometimes
you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the
time for evasive action-steering
around the problem.
Your Oldsmobile can perform very well
in emergencies like these. First apply
your brakes-but unless you have anti-
lock, not enough to lock your wheels. It is
better to remove as much speed as
you can from a possible collision. Then
steer around the problem, to the left or
right depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close
attention and a quick decision. If you
are holding the steering wheel at the
recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions,
you can turn it a full
180 degrees very
quicldy without removing either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly,
and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object. You
must then be prepared to steer back to
your original lane and then brake to a
controlled stop. Depending
on your speed, this can be
rather violent for an unprepared driver.
This is one of the reasons driving
experts recommend that you use your
safety belts and keep both hands on the
steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is
a good reason to
practice defensive driving at all times.
