CD Player Theft Deterrent Feature
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 will go to LOC mode
any time battery power is removed. It will also go to
LOC mode any time power from the battery is turned
off
by the Battery Protection feature (see “Battery Rundown
Protection” in the Index). Until an unlock code is
entered,
it will not turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to enter a secret
code into the system. If your vehicle loses battery power
for any reason, you must unlock the system with the
secret code before the radio will turn on.
Setting the Anti-Theft System
1. Write down any six-digit number and keep it in a
safe place. This is your secret code.

Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should
adjust your speed. Of course, the posted speeds are
based on good weather and road conditions. Under less
favorable conditions you’ll want to go slower.
If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a
curve, do it before you enter the curve, while your front
wheels are straight ahead.
Try to adjust your speed so you can “drive” through the
curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until
you are out of the curve, and then
accelerate gently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective than
braking. For example,
you come over a hill and find a
tsuck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out
from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked
cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these
problems by braking
-- if you can stop in time. But
sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time \
for
evasive action
-- steering around the problem.
Your Pontiac can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. It is better to remove as
much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then
steer around the problem, to the left or right depending
on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick
decision.
If you are holding the steering wheel at the
recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can turn it a
full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand.
But
you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly
straighten the wheel once
you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
