certified receiver, your  radio  can 
produce  quality AM sound  comparable 
to 
FM stereo.  AMAX  reduces noise 
without  reducing  the high frequencies 
you need for  the best  sound. In addition 
to  improved  sound quality,  AMAX

on the AM  band. 
You don't  have to  do  anything  to your

Compact  Disc Controls 
Many  of the  controls  for the  radio  also 
have  functions  for the  compact  disc 
player,  as  explained  here. 
To  Play  a  Compact  Disc: 
Don’t  use  mini-discs  that  are called 
singles.  They won’t  eject. Use  only  full- 
size  compact  discs. 
1. Press POWER to  turn  the  radio  on. 
2. Insert  a  disc  part-way into  the  slot, 
with  the  label side  up.  The  player  will 
pull  it  in.  In  a  few seconds,  the disc 
should  play. 
If  the  disc  comes  back out: 
The  disc  may  be upside  down. 
The  disc  may be  dirty,  scratched  or 
wet. 
There  may be  too  much  moisture  in 
the  air (wait  about  one  hour  and 
try 
again). 
The player  may  be  too  hot,  or the  road 
may  be too  rough  for the  disc  to play. 
If  the  word 
HOT appears  on  the 
display,  the player  is  too  hot.  Press 
RCL to remove HOT from  the 
display. As  soon  as  things  get back  to 
normal,  the  disc  should  play. 
While  a  disc is  playing,  the 
CD 
indicator is displayed  on  the digital 
screen,  as  is the  clock. 
RCL  (Recall): Press once  to see  which 
track  is  playing.  Press again within  five 
seconds  to  see how long  your  selection 
has  been  playing.  The  track  number 
also  will be displayed  when  the volume 
is  changed  or  a new  track  starts  to  play.

again.  If you  hold  or keep pressing  the 
PREV button,  the disc will keep 
backing  up  to previous  tracks. 
NEXT: Press  when  you want  to  hear 
the  next  track  before the  track  you are 
listening  to  has finished.  If you  hold  or 
keep pressing  the 
NEXT button,  the 
disc  will keep advancing  to  other tracks. 
REV (Reverse): Press  and  hold to 
rapidly back  up to a favorite passage.

To Add Coolant 
If you  need  more  coolant, add  the proper 
mix 
at  the  coolant  recovery  tank. 
Add  coolant  mix at  the  recovery  tank, 
but  be  careful  not  to spill it. 
Radiator  Pressure  Cap 
NOTICE: 
Your radiator  cap  is a 15 psi (105 
kPa)  pressure-type  cap and  must  be 
tightly  installed  to prevent  coolant 
loss  and possible engine damage 
from  overheating.  Be sure  the 
arrows  on  the  cap  line up  with  the 
overflow  tube  on  the  radiator  filler 
neck. 
When  you replace  your radiator 
pressure  cap,  an  AC8 cap is 
recommended. 
Thermostat 
Engine  coolant  temperature  is 
controlled  by a  thermostat  in  the  engine 
coolant  system. The  thermostat  stops 
the  flow  of coolant  through  the  radiator 
until  the  coolant  reaches  a  preset 
temperature. 
When  you  replace your  thermostat,  an 
AC@ thermostat is recommended. 
Power  Steering  Fluid 
How To Check  Power  Steering 
Fluid 
Unscrew  the cap  and  wipe  the  dipstick 
with  a  clean rag.  Replace  the  cap  and 
completely  tighten  it.  Then  remove the 
cap  again  and look  at the  fluid  level  on 
the  dipstick. 
When  the engine  compartment  is hot, 
the  level  should  be at  the 
H (Hot) 
mark. 
When  the engine  compartment  is 
cool,  the level  should  be  at  the 
C 
(Cold) mark.

(P Metric)  tires  must  conform to 
Federal safety  requirements  in  addition 
to  these  grades. 
Wheel  Alignment  and  Tire 
Balance 
The  wheels  on your  vehicle  were 
aligned  and balanced  carefully at  the 
factory  to give  you  the longest  tire  life 
and  best  overall performance. 
In  most  cases,  you  will  not need  to have 
your wheels aligned  again. However, 
if 
you notice  unusual  tire  wear  or  your 
vehicle  pulling one way  or the  other,  the 
alignment  may need  to be  reset.  If you 
notice  your vehicle  vibrating  when 
driving  on a smooth  road,  your wheels 
may  need 
to be rebalanced. 
Wheel  Replacement 
Replace  any wheel  that is bent, cracked 
or  badly  rusted.  If wheel  nuts keep 
coming  loose, the wheel, wheel  bolts, 
and  wheel  nuts should  be  replaced. 
If 
the wheel  leala  air,  replace  it  (except 
some  aluminum  wheels, which  can 
sometimes  be  repaired).  See your  Oldsmobile dealer 
if any  of these 
conditions  exist. 
Your dealer  will know  the kind  of wheel 
you  need. 
Each new wheel  should have the same 
load carrying  capacity,  diameter,  width, 
offset,  and be mounted  the same  way as 
the  one  it  replaces. 
If you need  to replace  any of your 
wheels,  wheel bolts, or wheel  nuts, 
replace  them only with  new GM 
original  equipment  parts.  This  way, you 
will  be sure  to  have the right  wheel, 
wheel  bolts,  and  wheel nuts  for  your 
Oldsmobile  model. 
NOTICE: 
The wrong  wheel can also  cause 
problems  with bearing  life, brake 
cooling,  speedometer/odometer 
calibration,  headlight aim,  bumper 
height,  vehicle ground  clearance, 
and  tire  or tire  chain  clearance  to 
the  body  and  chassis.
