Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Before you put the key In, your ignition will be in the “LOCK” position.
This position locks your ignition, steering
wheel and transaxle. It’s an
anti-theft feature.
The other positions let
you perform these functions:
ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is off. To get into “ACC”, push
in the key and turn
it toward you. Your steering wheel
will remain locked, just as it was-
before you inserted the key.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like “Lock.” Use “Off”
if you
must have your car in motion while the engine is off (for example, if your
car is being pushed).
RUN This is the position for driving.
STARR This starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Lock” and you can’t turn it, be sure it
is
all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with your
hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition
switch. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
“N” (Neutral) only.
.-
,.
NOTICE: -
Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park) if your Cadillac is moving. If you
I
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to “P” (Park) only
when your vehicle
is stopped.

I FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only

stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition to improved sound quality, AMAX’
includes more station on the AM band. You don’t have to do anything to
your radio because
AMAX@ is automatic.
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,
although some do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark
of
Motorola, Inc.) If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your “ST”
stereo light
will come on when you’re receiving it.
Be aware that 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:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
