appears on the display:
The disc may be upside down.
The disc may be dirty, scratched or
wet.
There may be too much moisture in
the air (wait about one hour and
try
again),
The player may be too hot, or the road
may be too rough for the disc to play.
As soon as things get back to normal,
the disc should play.
While a disc is playing, the
CD indi-
cator is displayed on the digital screen,
as is the clock.

CD Player Anti-Theft Feature
Delco LOC II@ is an anti-theft feature
for the compact disc player. It can be
used or ignored. If ignored, the system
plays normally. If it is used, your player won’t be usable if it is ever stolen,
because it will go to
LOC mode any
time battery power is removed. It will also go to LOC mode any time power
from the battery is turned
off by the
Battery Rundown Protection feature (see
the
Index under Battery Rundown
Protection). Until an unLOC code is
entered, it will not turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to
enter a secret code into the system. If
your vehicle loses battery power for any reason, you must unlock the system with

1 CAUTION
A -'-u can be burned if you spill
A Luolant on hot engine parts.
Loolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Don't spill coolant
on a hot engine.
Surge Tank Pressure Cap
When you replace your surge tank
pressure cap, a
GM cap is
recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled
by a thermostat
in the engine coolant
system. The thermostat stops the
flow of
coolant through the radiator until the
coolant reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace your thermostat, an
AC@ thermostat is recommended.

Wheel Alignment and
Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at
the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However, if
you notice unusual tire wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need to be reset. If you
notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked
or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If
the wheel leaks air out, replace it
(except some aluminum wheels, which
can sometimes be repaired).
See your
Pontiac dealer if any of these conditions
exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel
you need.
Each new wheel should have the same
load carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them
only with new GM
original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure
to have the right wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
Pontiac model.
CAUTION I
Using the wrong replacement
I. wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts
on your vehicle can'be
dangerous.
It could affect the
braking and handling
of your
vehicle, make your tires lose air
and make you lose control. You
could have a collision in which you
or others could be injured. Always
use the correct wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts for replacement.
