A tape player  that  is not  cleaned regularly can cause 
reduced  sound  quality,  ruined  cassettes or a damaged 
mechanism.  Cassette  tapes  should  be stored 
in their 
cases  away  from  contaminants, direct  sunlight  and 
extreme  heat. 
If they aren’t,  they  may  not  operate 
properly  or may  cause  failure of the tape  player. 
Your  tape  player  should  be cleaned regularly after every 
50 hours of use. Your  radio may display  CLN to indicate 
that  you  have 
used your  tape player  for 50 hours  without 
resetting  the tape clean  timer. 
If this  message  appears  on 
the  display,  your  cassette tape player  needs  to  be 
cleaned.  It will  still play  tapes,  but  you  should  clean 
it as 
soon  as possible  to  prevent  damage  to your  tapes  and 
player.  If  you notice a reduction  in sound  quality, 
try a 
known  good  cassette to see if it  is  the  tape or the  tape 
player  at fault.  If this  other  cassette  has 
no improvement 
in  sound  quality,  clean  the  tape  player. 
Cleaning  may  be done with a scrubbing action, 
non-abrasive  cleaning  cassette with  pads  which  scrub 
the tape  head  as the hubs 
of the  cleaner cassette  turn. 
A  scrubbing  action  cleaning cassette is  available  through 
your  Chevrolet  dealership.  When  using  a cleaning 
cassette, 
it is  normal  for the cassette  to eject  while 
cleaning  because  your  unit  is equipped  with 
a cut  tape 
detection  feature and  some  cleaning cassettes  may appear  as 
a broken  tape.  If the  cleaning cassette 
is 
ejected  immediately from the  tape  player, you will need 
to override  the cut tape feature. 
To temporarily  override this feature for  vehicles  with 
Automatic  Tone  Control  (for one insertion), follow 
these  steps: 
Turn  the  ignition  on. 
Turn the radio off. 
Press  and  hold  TAPE AUX until  the  tape  symbol 
flashes  on  the  display.  (For  vehicles  without 
Automatic  Tone  Control, press both 
SEEK arrows.) 
Insert the cleaning  cassette.  (Insert  the  cassette at 
least three  times  to ensure thorough  cleaning.) 
Eject  the  cleaning  cassette. 
When  the cleaning  cassette has  been  ejected, the  broken 
tape  detection  feature is  active  again. 
After 
you clean  the  player,  press  and  hold  EJECT  for 
five  seconds  to  reset 
the CLN  indicator.  The  radio  will 
display 
--- to  show  the  indicator was  reset. 
Cassettes  are subject  to wear  and  the  sound  quality 
may  degrade  over  time.  Always  make  sure 
the cassette 
tape  is  in  good  condition before  you  have  your  tape 
player  serviced.

can reach,  but  be sure the  vehicles  aren’t  touching 
each  other. 
If they are, it could  cause a ground 
connection 
you don’t  want. You wouldn’t  be able  to 
start  your  Chevrolet,  and  the  bad  grounding  could 
damage  the electrical  systems. 
To avoid the possibility  of the  vehicles  rolling, set 
the  parking  brake  firmly on both  vehicles  involved 
in  the  jump start procedure.  Put  an  automatic 
transaxle  in 
PARK (P) or a manual  transaxle  in 
NEUTRAL (N) before setting  the  parking  brake. 
3. Turn off the ignition  on  both  vehicles.  Unplug 
unnecessary  accessories plugged into the cigarette 
lighter. 
Turn off all lamps  that aren’t needed  as  well 
as  radios. 
This will  avoid sparks  and help  save  both 
batteries.  In addition, 
it could save  your radio. 
NOTICE: 
If you  leave  your  radio  on,  it could  be  badly 
damaged.  The  repairs  wouldn’t  be  covered  by 
your  warranty. 
4. Open the hoods  and  locate the batteries. 
An electric  fan  can  start up even  when  the  engine 
is  not  running  and  can  injure  you.  Keep  hands, 
clothing  and  tools  away  from  any  underhood 
electric  fan.
