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.
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. 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
improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls and Audio Systems
Clean your tape player with a
wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette
(GM Part No. 12344600), and
follow the directions provided with
it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape is
in good condition before you have your
tape player serviced.
. . .I18
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in theil
original cases or other protective cases
and away from direct sunlight and dust.
U
the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution and clean it, wiping
from the center to
the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling discs. Pick up discs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the
hole and the outer edge.
Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and
work well if it’s cleaned from time to
time.
To clean the antenna mast:
1. Turn on the radio to raise the antenna.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral
spirits or an equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe the cloth over the mast, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe the mast dry with a clean cloth.
5. Turn the radio off and on to make the
antenna go down and up.
If the antenna is still dirty, repeat the steps.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine According to the American Medical
Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person
who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml)
bottles
of beer in an hour will end up with
a BAC of about
0.06 percent. The person
would reach the same BAC by drinking
three 4-ounce (1 20
ml) glasses of wine or
three mixed drinks if each had 1
- 1/2
ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey,
gin or vodka.
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For
example, if
the same person drank three
double martinis (3 ounces or
90 ml of
liquor each) within
an hour, the person’s
BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A
person who consumes food just before or
during drinking will have
a slightly lower
BAC level.

The law in most U.S. states sets the legal
limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent.
In Canada
the limit is
0.08 percent, and in some
other countries it’s lower than that. The
BAC will be over
0.10 percent after three
to six drinks (in one hour). Of course, as
we’ve seen, it depends on how much
alcohol is in the drinks, and how quickly
the person drinks them.
.,. c. .-’ .t
But it’s very important to keep in mind
that the ability to drive is affected well
below a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research
shows that the driving skills
of many
people ai-e impaired at a BAC
approaching
0.05 percent, and that the
effects are worse at night. All drivers are
impaired at BAC levels above
0.05
percent. Statistics show that the chance of
being in an accident increases sharply for
drivers who have a BAC of
0.05 percent
or above. A driver with a BAC level of
0.06 percent (three beers in one hour for a
180-pound or 82 kg person) has doubled
his or her chance of having an accident.
At a BAC level of 0.10 percent, the
chance of that driver having an accident is
six times greater; at a level of
0.15.
percent, the chances are twenty-five times
greater! And, the body takes about an
hour to rid itself
of the alcohol in :one
drink.
No amount of coffee or number of
cold showers will speed that
up.
“I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer.
What if there’s
an emergency, a need to
take sudden action, as when a child darts
into the street? A person with a higher
BAC might not be able to react quickly
enough to avoid the collision.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This is a mistake. Your brakes may not
have time to cool between hard stops.
Your brakes will wear out much faster if
you do a lot
of heavy braking. If you keep
pace with the traffic and allow realistic
following distances, you will eliminate a
lot of unnecessary braking. That means
better braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re
driving, brake normally but don’t pump
your brakes. If you do, the pedal may get
harder to push down. If your engine stops,
you will still have some power brake
assist. But you will use it
when you brake.
Once the power assist is used up, it may
take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.

Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Your Corvette has an advanced electronic
braking system that will help prevent
skidding.
This light on the instrument panel will go
on when you start your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and begin to
drive away, you may hear a momentary
motor or clicking noise. And you may
even notice that your brake pedal moves
,
little while this is going on. This is the
ABS system testing itself. If there’s a
problem with the anti-lock brake system,
the anti-lock brake system warning light
will stay on.
See “Anti-lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index. Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s, say
the road
is wet. You’re driving safely.
Suddenly an animal jumps out in front
You slam on the brakes. Here’s &at

ABS. ..
A computer senses that wheels &g,
slowing down. If one of the wheels is
about to stop rolling, the computer will

wheel and at the rear wheels.
The anti-lock system can change

could. The computer is programmed to
