TALK: This setting is used when listening to
non-musical material such as baseball games, talk

spoken words. The high and low frequencies are
lowered, the mid-range
is increased and the audio is
moved to the front speakers.
DRIVER SEAT This setting adjusts the audio to
give
the driver the best possible sound qualities. This
has been done
by tailoring the sound arrival times
and equalization
for the driver seat. DRIVER SEAT
can be used at any time for
any material. Other
passengers in
the vehicle may not perceive the same
effect.
LIVE: This setting is used to imitate the sound of a
live performance.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings
or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
AM 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.
Tips About Your Audio System
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:
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, Cadillac radio or other systems, and even
damage them. 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.

Battery
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, take
off the black, negative (-) cable from the battery.
This will help keep your battery from running down.
A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt
if you
aren’t careful, See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around
a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your Cadillac dealer service department.
Halogen Bulbs
I A CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst
if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured.
Be sure to read and
follow the instructions
on the bulb package.
