Safety Belts
- and fhe Answers
Q:
Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a
safety belt?
A: You could be - whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle
a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And
your chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear
safety belts?
A: Air bags are in some vehicles today and will be in more of them in the
future. But they are supplemental systems only
- so they work with
safety belts, not instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered for
sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if you’re in
a vehicle that
has air bags, you still have to buckle up
to get the most protection.
That’s true not only
in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident - even
one that isn’t your fault
- you and your passengers can be hurt. Being
a
good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control,
such
as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number of serious iniuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than
40 mph (65 kdh).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take
it with you.
Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition. If you have an automatic transmission, taking your key out
also
locks your transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them
in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lig\
hts, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog
lamps
only when your lower beam headlights are also on, or that headlights
be turned
on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that
you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
Headlight High-Low Beam
To change the
headlights from low
beam to high or high
to
low, pull the turn
signal lever all the
way toward you. Then
release
it.
When the high beams
are
on, this blue
indicator light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.

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 pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing
the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
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,
though some do not. (C-QUAM’ is a registered trademark
of Motorola,
Inc.)
If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your “STEREO” light will
come on when you’re receiving
it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a
1 tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it’s very important
to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
