Your Cassette Tape Player
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin that they may not
work well
in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label or box, it should say whether its bias,
or “equalization,” is 70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are
120 p sec. Your tape player will adjust automatically for either type
of cassette tape.

Tips about Your Audio System
Be aware that 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:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase 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, 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Traction Control System
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is
especially useful in slippery road conditions.
The system operates only if it
senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power (by shutting off
fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin.
c
The TRACTION ACTIVE message will display on the Driver
Information Center when the traction control system is limiting wheel
spin. See “Driver Information Center Messages”
in the Index. You may
feel
the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is
in cruise control when the traction control system begins
to
limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When
road conditions allow you to safely use
it again, you may re-engage the
cruise control. (See “Cruise Control”
in the Index.)
The TRACTION DISABLED message
will display on the Driver
Information Center to let
you know if there’s a problem with your traction
control system. See “Driver Information Center Messages”
in the Index.
When this message is displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you
can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can
help you more than even the very best braking.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine Cooling When Trailering
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during severe operating
conditions such as:
Climbing gradcs steeper than 4% at ambient temperatures above
90" F (32" C) with a loaded vehicle and trailer.
0 Stopping after high-speed driving.
Idling for long periods in stop and go traffic.
If the
ENGINE HOT-A/C COMPRESSOR OFF message appears on the
Driver Information Center,
do not be alarmed. This is a normal function
designed to reduce the load
on the engine and cooling system. You can
continue to drive your vehicle.
If the ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINE message appears on
the Driver Information Center, pull off to the side of the road as soon as
it
is safe to do so. When the vehicle is at a complete stop, shift the
transaxle selector
to PARK (P) and allow the engine to idle. Do not turn
off the engine
or increase engine speed above a normal idle. After several
minutes, resume driving at
a reduced speed. Return to normal driving
after
1.0 minutes if the ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINE
message is not displayed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ENGINE OKEMEATING
The Driver Information Center will display either ENGINE COOLANT
HOT-IDLE ENGINE or
STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATING.
In addition you will find the warning light about a hot engine on your
instrument panel on Canadian vehicles.
Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode
Should a low coolant condition exist and the message STOP ENGINE
ENGINE OVERHEATING is displayed, an overheat protection mode
which alternates firing groups of four cylinders helps prevent engine
damage. This operating
mode allows your vehicle to be driven to a safe
place
in an emergency; you may drive up to 50 miles (80 km). Towing a
trailer in the overheat protection mode should be avoided.
NOTICE:
After driving in the “Overheated Engine Protection Operating
Mode,” to avoid engine damage, allow the engine
to cool before
attempting any repair. The engine oil may be severely degraded.
Change the oil and reset the
oil life indicator. See “Engine Oil,
When
to Change” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ENGINE OIL
A CHECK OIL LEVEL message will appear whcn the engine oil is
approximately a quart low. If the message is displayed, check the dipstick
level
and add oil as needed.
It's
a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get
an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
Turn off the engine and
give the oil a few
minutes to drain back
into the
oil pan. If you
don't, the oil dipstick
might not
show the
actual level.
