was successful (the numbers matched
the user-selected code or
the factory
back-up code) and the audio system is in the

SEC, the disabling
sequence was unsuccessful and the
numbers did not match either
of the
codes. In this case, the audio system
will remain in the
SECURED mode.
To Unlock the System After a Power
Loss:
When battery power is reapplied to a
secured audio system after a loss of
power, the audio system will not turn on
and

display. You will need to unlock the
Delco LOC
II@ system.
1 . Turn the ignition to the Accessory or
Run position, and turn the radio off.
2. Press SET, and 000 will appear on
the display.
3. Follow steps 4-8 for disabling your
anti-theft system.
4. Press the lower knob. The time will
appear on the digital display if you
are successful. If
SEC appears,
however, the numbers did not match
and your audio system is still locked.
Understanding Radio Reception
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). 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 also pick up noise from things like
storms and power lines.
To lower this
noise, try reducing the treble level.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
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@
signals, your stereo indicator light will
come on when you are receiving it.

CAUTION
A
Coasting downhill in
N (Neutral) or with the
ignition
off is dangerous. Your
brakes will have to do all the work
of slowing down. They could get
so hot that they wouldn’t work
well. You could crash. Always
have your engine running and your
vehicle in gear when you go
downhill.
Know how to go uphill. Drive in the
highest gear possible.
Stay in your own lane when driving on
two-lane roads in hills or mountains.
Don’t swing wide or cut across the center
of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay in your own lane. That way,
you won’t be surprised by a vehicle
coming toward you
in the same lane.
It takes longer to pass another vehicle
when you’re going uphill. You’ll want
to leave extra room to pass. If a
vehicle
is passing you and doesn’t have
enough room, slow down to make it
easier- for the other vehicle to get by.
As you go over the top of a hill, be
alert. There could be something in
your lane, like a stalled
car or an
accident.
You may see highway signs on
mountains that warn of special
problems. Examples are long grades,
passing or no passing zones, a falling
rocks area, or winding roads.
Be alert
to these and take appropriate action.
