How to Change Your Security Code
You can change your security code by
following these steps:
1. Using your old code, follow the
directions given under “Shutting
Off
the Theft-Deterrent Feature.”
2. Repeat directions of “Setting Your
Security Code” with your new
security code.
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). And, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come
and go.
I
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.
Care of Your Cassette Tape
Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly
can cause reduced sound quality, ruined
cassettes, or a damaged mechanism.
Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct
sunlight, and extreme heat. If they aren’t,
they may not operate properly or cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should
be cleaned
regularly each month or after every
15
hours of use. If you notice a reduction in
sound quality, try a known good cassette
to see if the tape or the tape player
is at
fault. If this other cassette has no

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
quickly 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.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is a good reason to
practice defensive driving at all times and
wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road Recovery
You may find sometime that your right
wheels have dropped
off the edge of a
road onto the shoulder (A) while you’re
driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slight11
below the pavement, recovery should be
fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and
then, if there
is nothing in the way, steer
so that your vehicle straddles the edge of
the pavement. You can
turn the steering
wheel up to
1/4 turn (B) until the right
front tire contacts the pavement edge.
Then
turn your steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.
Passing
The driver of a vehicle about to pass
another on a two-lane highway waits for
just the right moment, accelerates, moves
around the vehicle ahead, then goes back
into the right
lane again. A simple
maneuver?
Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle
on a two-lane highway is a potentially
dangerous move, since the passing
vehicle occupies the same lane as
oncoming traffic for several seconds. A
miscalculation, an error
in judgment, or a
brief surrender to frustration or anger can
suddenly put the passing driver face to
face with the worst of all traffic accidents
- the head-on collision.
So here are some tips for passing:
“Drive ahead.” Look down the road,
to the sides, and to crossroads for
situations that might affect your
passing patterns. If you have any
doubt whatsoever about making a
successful pass, wait for a better time.
Watch for traffic signs, pavement
markings, and lines. If you can see a
sign
up ahead that might indicate a
turn
or an intersection, delay your
pass. A broken center line usually

If your vehicle has optional alloy wheels,
each wheel may have one locknut
in place
of the standard wheel nut. A special
wheel lock key (removal tool) and
instructions are located
in the center
console. Attach the wheel lock key to the
socket
of the wheel wrench. Remove the

Using the wheel wrench, loosen all the
wheel nuts. Don’t remove them yet. Position
the jack under the vehicle. There
is a notch
in the vehicle’s rocker flange on
the coupe model. Raise the jack head until
it fits firmly into the notch nearest the flat
tire.
On convertible models, place the jack in a
similar location.

Stay away from the moldings or fender
flanges to avoid damaging them.
NOTICE:
Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned
will damage
the vehicle or may allow the vehicle
to fall
off the jack. Be sure to fit
the jack lift head into the proper
location before raising your vehicle.
Raise the vehicle by rotating the wheel
wrench clockwise. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground
so there is enough
room
for the spare tire to fit.
