Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With anti-lock, this light will go on
when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds. That’s
normal. If the light doesn’t come on,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there is
a problem.
If the light stays
on, or comes on when
you’re
driving, your Oldsmobile needs
service.
If the regular brake system
warning light isn’t
on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock
brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is
also on, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem
with your regular brakes. See
Brake
System Warning Light earlier in this part
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon Light)
A computer monitors operation of your
fuel, ignition and emission control
systems. This light should come on
when the ignition
is on, but the engine
is not running, as a check to show you
it is working. If it does not come on at
all, have it fixed right away. If it stays
on, or it comes on while you are driving,
the computer is indicating that you
have a problem. You should take your
vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle
with this light on, after a while the
emission controls won’t work as
well, your fuel economy won’t be
as good and your engine may not
run as smoothly. This could lead
to costly repairs not covered by
your warranty.

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 and console clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio
systems available for your Oldsmobile,
and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the
system in your vehicle.
Hearing damage from loud noise is
almost undetectable until it is too late.
Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems
normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting
the volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your hearing
adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
2. Increase the volume slowly until you
hear comfortably and clearly.
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, Delcom 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). 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 also pick up noise from things
like storms and power lines. To lower
this noise, try reducing the treble level.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
receive C-QuamB 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@ signals, your stereo indicator
light will come
on when you are
receiving it.
