Front De-Ice
Here’s how to use your heated windshield in cold weather to remove ice
or frost quickly:
1. If any snow is piled up on the windshield, brush it away.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in PARK (P).

DE-ICEa
3. Press the DE-ICE
switch.
A light will
come
on to tell you it
is working.
4. Try not to use other
electrical equipment
while the system is
working.
The system will go off after a four-minute heating cycle. If you shift out
of
PARK (P), the system will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, press the switch. It will go on for two-minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by
just pressing the switch again.
Use the defroster or defog features of the Electronic Climate Control
to
clear fog from the windshield as previously described. In warm weather
the heated windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior cool by
blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar
control properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is
a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain
states radar detectors are legal.)

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, however, FM signals will only
reach about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills may
interfere with
FM signals causing sounds to fade and may also cause
popping, crackling or momentary hissing noises.
AM
-9 The range for most AM stations is greater than for EM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere
with
each other. (FCC regulations require some AM radio stations to reduce
signal strength at night to minimize interference.) 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.
This means 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@includes more stations on the AM band. You don’t have to
do
anything to your radio because AMAX@ is automatic.

This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ 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,

If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your ST stereo light will
come on when you’re receiving it.

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.
To Play a Cassette Tape
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Insert the cassette through the tape door. (The TAPE indicator in the
display
will light.)
If you hear nothing or hear just a garbled sound, the cassette may not be
in squarely. Press the EJCT button to remove the tape and start over. The
tape equalization
is automatically sensed and set. Inserting the cassette
also activates DOLBY
@ noise reduction.
DNR@ is the Dynamic Noise Reduction. It helps remove background hiss
noise from the radio.

Corporation.
3. Once the tape is playing, use the upper and lower knobs to adjust the
volume and balance, just as you do for the radio. Press the upper knob
to change tape direction. The arrow in the display shows which
direction the tape is being played.
FWD: Press this button to go forward rapidly to another part of the tape.
The radio will play during fast forward.
To stop the tape, press the same

the tape will start to play.
REV: Press this button to reverse the tape. To stop the tape, press the
same button lightly or any
of the other buttons. The radio will play during
this reverse function.
