.. 
Keep the  hood  and  front air inlet free 
of  ice,  snow,  or any  other obstruction 
(such as  leaves). The heater  and 
defroster  will  work  far better,  reducini 
the chance  of fogging  the inside  of 
your  windows. 
When  you enter  a vehicle in cold 
weather,  adjust  the  fan to the highest 
speed  for  a  few  moments  before 
driving 
off. This  helps  clear the intake 
ducts  of  snow  and  moisture, and 
reduces  the chance  of fogging the 
inside  of your  windows. 
Keep  the air path  under  the  front seats 
clear  of objects.  This  helps  air to 
circulate  throughout  your  vehicle.

Audio Systems 
Your Delco@ audio  system  has  been 
designed  to operate  easily  and  give years 
of  listening  pleasure.  But  you  will  get the 
most  enjoyment out  of 
it if you  acquaint 
yourself  with  it first.  Find out what  your 
Delco@  system  can  do and  how  to operate 
all  its  controls,  to  be sure you’re getting 
the  most  out of the advanced engineering 
that  went  into it. 
NOTICE: 
Before  you  add  any  sound  equipment 
to your 
;chicle - like  a  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.

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. 
117.. .   

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.
