Delco LOC II@ is an Anti-Theft feature for the compact disc player. It can
be
used or ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally. If it is used, your
player won’t be usable
if it is ever stolen, because it won’t turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to enter a secret code into the system. If
your car loses battery power for any reason, you must unlock the system
with the secret code before the radio will turn
on.
To Lock The System:
1. Write down any 6 digit number and keep it in a safe place.
2. Turn the ignition to the ACC (Accessory) or RUN position.
3. Press the PWR knob to turn the radio off.
4. Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down until “- - - ” shows
on the display.
You are now ready to enter your secret code. Don’t wait more than
15
seconds between steps.
5. Press SET and “000” will appear on the display.
6. Press the SEEK or 4 button to make the first number appear.

5. Enter the second three digits of the code. The display will show the
numbers as entered.
6. Press the BAND knob. If the display shows “- - - ”, the disabling
sequence was successful. The numbers matched the user-selected code
or the factory back-up code, and the unit is in the UNSECURED
mode. If the display shows “SEC”, the disabling sequence was
unsuccessful and the numbers did not match either of the codes and the
unit will remain in the SECURED mode.
Understanding Radio Reception
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can interfere
with
FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
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 pick up noise from things like storms and power lines.
Try reducing
the treble
to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
AM Stereo means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@stereo
broadcasts. Many AM stations around the count use C-QUAM@ to
produce stereo, though some do not. (C-QUAM
2 is a registered trademark
of Motorola, Inc.)
If your DelcoB system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when you’re receiving it.
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.

Your vehicle has an advanced electronic braking system that can help you
keep
it under control. When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away,
you may hear a momentary motor
or clicking noise. This is the ABS system
testing itself.
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely.
Suddenly an animal jumps
out in front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS.
A
computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is
about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the b\
rakes at each
front wheel and at the rear wheels. The anti-lock system can change the
brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to
make the most
of available tire and road conditions. You can steer around
the obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and\
controls braking pressure accordingly.
4-6

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get \
your foot up to
the brake pedal. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t
have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows \
or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti\
-lock brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and \
let anti-lock work for you.
You may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise,
but this is normal. On vehicles with four-wheel drive, your anti-lock brakes
work at all times
-- whether you are in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
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.
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is
not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
Steering lips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot
of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news \
happen
on curves. Here’s why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of
physics when driving on curves. The traction
of the tires against the road
surface makes it possible
for the vehicle to change its path when you turn
the front wheels. If there’s no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in
the same direction.
If you’ve ever tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll
understand this.
The traction you can get
in a curve depends on the condition of your tires
and
the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and your
speed. While you’re in a curve, speed is the one factor you can control.
Suppose you’re steering through a sharp curve. Then you suddenly
accelerate. Both control systems
- steering and acceleration - have to do
their work where the tires meet the road. Adding the sudden acceleration
can demand too much
of those places. You can lose control.
