1996 CHEVROLET ASTRO ECO mode

Once the tape is playing, use the control knobs for VOL,
AUTO TONE, BAL, FADE, TREB and BASS just as
you do for the radio. A lighted tape symbol shows when
a cassette tape is in
the player. A lighted arrow will also
appear and show the direction of play when a tape is active.
The player automatically senses if the cassette tape is
metal or
002 and adjusts for best playback sound.
For metal tapes, the double-D symbol will appear on
the display.
Anytime a cassette tape is inserted,
the top side is
selected for play first.
PREV (1): Press PREV or the SEEK left arrow (in the
opposite direction that the lighted tape direction arrow
points) to search for the previous selection.
A minimum
three-second blank gap is needed for the player to stop
at the beginning of the selection. The tape direction
arrow will blink during the SEEK operation and the
sound is muted in this mode.
PROG: Press this button on the remote player to go
from one side
of the tape to the other.
NEXT (3): Press NEXT or the SEEK right arrow (in the
direction that
the lighted tape direction arrow points) to
search for the next selection. The tape direction arrow
will blink during SEEK operation and the sound
is
muted in this mode.
REV (4): Press this button to rapidly reverse the tape.
The tape will rapidly reverse
to the beginning of the
cassette reel or until you press REV again. The radio
plays the last selected station during REV.
(5): Press this pushbutton to turn Dolby on and off.
Dolby is active
when a tape inserted in the remote
cassette. The double-D symbol will appear
on
the display.

FWD (6): Press this button to rapidly advance the tape.
The tape will rapidly advance to the end
of the cassette
reel or until you press FWD again. The radio plays the
last selected station during FWD.
TAPE: Press the AM-FM button to switch from the
player and
the radio when a tape is playing. To return to
the tape player, press CD AUX. The lighted arrow will
appear next to
the symbol and show the direction of play
when a tape is active.

remove the tape. EJECT can be used with either the
ignition or radio off. Also,
you must press EJECT before

Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but
if you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the
rear brake linings inspected. Also, the rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires are
removed for rotation or changing. When you have the
front brakes replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there is a rapid increase
in pedal
travel. This could be a sign
of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your
rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by
backing up and firmly applying
the brakes a few times.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex.
Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts
in them, as your vehicle does when it is new. When
you replace parts of your braking system
-- for example,
when your brake linings wear down and
you have to have
new ones put
in -- be sure you get new genuine GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example,
if someone puts in
brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle,
the balance
between your front and rear brakes can change
-- for the
worse. The braking performance
you’ve come to expect
can change
in many other ways if someone puts in the
wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new vehicle 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.
