§&!reo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km). 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
r Audio Syste
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The braking system on a modem 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.
Your vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality
GM brake parts. 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 approved
CM 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.
e
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.
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.
Batteries have acid that can burn YOU and gas
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting’’ in the Index
for tips
on working around a battery without
that
can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
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.
