NOTICE: 
Before you add  any sound equipment  to your  vehicle - 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. 
How to Operate Your AM ETR Radio 
To Play the Radio 
Press  the PWR-VOL-TONE knob to  switch  the  radio on and off. This 
knob does  two other  things: 
It controls  the  volume.  Rotate  the VOL knob clockwise to increases  the 
volume. 
The  knob  behind  the PWR-VOL knob is the TONE knob.  Rotate  this 
knob  clockwise 
for more  treble  and counterclockwise for more  bass.

Stereo (AM) 
Your Delco@  radio can receive C-QUAM@stereo broadcasts.  Many  AM 
stations around the country use C-QUAM@to  produce stereo, though 
some 
do not. If your  Delco@  system can get C-QUAM@ signals, your 
“STEREO” light will come on when  you  are receiving  stereo. (C-QUAM@ 
is a registered trademark of Motorola  Inc.).

What should  you  do if this  ever  happens?  Ease up on the  accelerator  pedal, 
steer  the  vehicle  the  way 
you want  it to go, and slow down. 
Speed limit  signs  near curves warn  that 
you should  adjust  your  speed.  Of 
course,  the  posted  speeds  are based  on good  weather  and  road  conditions. 
Under  less  favorable  conditions  you’ll  want 
to go slower. 
If you need  to  reduce  your  speed  as you  approach  a  curve, do it before you 
enter the  curve,  while  your  front wheels  are straight  ahead. 
Try 
to adjust  your  speed so you  can  “drive”  through  the  curve. Maintain  a 
reasonable,  steady  speed.  Wait 
to accelerate  until  you  are out  of  the curve, 
and  then  accelerate  gently 
into the straightaway. 
Steering  in  Emergencies 
There  are times  when  steering can  be  more  effective  than  braking.  For 
example, 
you come over  a  hill  and  find  a  truck  stopped in your  lane, or a car 
suddenly pulls out from nowhere,  or a  child  darts out from  between  parked 
cars  and stops  right 
in front of you. You can avoid  these  problems  by 
braking 
- if  you  can  stop  in  time.  But  sometimes you can’t; there  isn’t 
room.  That’s  the  time  for  evasive action 
- steering  around  the  problem. 
Your  vehicle  can  perform  very  well 
in emergencies  like  these.  First  apply 
your  brakes.  It is  better  to remove  as much  speed  as you  can from  a possible 
collision.  Then steer  around  the  problem,  to the  left  or right  depending  on 
the space  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 ii good reason 
to  practice  defensive driving  at  all  times  and  wear  safety  belts  properly.

Q: What should I do if my  vehicle  stalls, or is about  to  stall,  and I 
can’t  make  it up the  hill? 
A: If this happens,  there are some things  you should  do, and there are 
some  things  you must not do. First,  here’s  what  you 
should do: 
Push the  brake  pedal to stop  the  vehicle  and keep  it  from  rolling 
backwards. Also, apply  the parking brake. 
If your  engine  is  still running,  shift the transmission  into reverse, 
release  the  parking  brake,  and slowly back down the hill  in reverse. 
If your engine  has stopped  running, you’ll need to restart  it. With  the 
brake  pedal  depressed  and  the  parking brake still applied,  shift the 
transmission to 
“P” (Park)  (or, shift  to “N’ (Neutral)  if your vehicle  has 
a manual  transmission)  and restart the engine.  Then, shift to reverse, 
release  the parking  brake, and slowly back  down the 
hill as straight  as 
possible  in reverse. 
wheel  at  the 
12 o’clock  position.  This way,  you’ll  be able  to tell  if your 
wheels  are straight and maneuver  as you  back  down.  It’s best  that you 
back  down  the hill  with  your wheels straight rather  than in the  left  or 
right direction. Turning  the wheel  too far to  the  left  or  right will 
increase  the  possibility of a rollover. 
As you  are backing  down the hill, put your  left hand on  the steering 
Here  are  some things  you 
must not do if  you  stall, or are  about  to stall, 
when  going 
up a hill. 
0 Never  attempt  to prevent a stall  by shifting  into “N” (Neutral) (or 
depressing  the  clutch, if  you have  a  manual transmission) to  “rev-up” 
the  engine  and regain forward momentum.  This won’t  work.
