1996 OLDSMOBILE AURORA radio antenna

Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and work well
if it’s cleaned from time to time.
To clean the
antenna mast:
1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna.
t
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or
I equivalent solvent.
3- Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing
any dirt.
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the
radio or ignition
off and on.
6. Repeat if necessary.
t-
I NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
could damage it.
I NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio to make the power antenna go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged.
If the antenna does not go down when
you turn the radio off, it may be damaged
or
need to be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna
by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the mast portion of your antenna is damaged, you can
easily replace it. See your retailer for a replacement kit
and follow the instructions in the kit.
