(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. Once armed, the system will sound the
horn and flash the parking lamps if the vehicle is
broken into.
Shock Sensor
Coupe Convertible
The shock sensor is what triggers the alarm when it
detects a blow
to your vehicle. It is located over the
right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch
area. There are two levels
of alarms via the shock
sensor: Two horn blasts and parking lamp flashes for
non-threatening blows to the vehicle and
a full
two-minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle.
Its sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity
is desired. (Note:
If sensitivity is increased too much,
it may give false alarms caused by gusts
of wind or
other natural events that may shake the vehicle.)
To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment
knob and adjust
as desired. Turn to the right
(clockwise) to increase sensitivity and turn to the left
(counterclockwise) to decrease sensitivity. The shock
sensor is ignored by
the alarm system when the ignition
is on, when the hatch is open, when the alarm is
disarmed, when customized
to be ignored and for
five seconds after the horn sounds an alarm or chirp.
The shock sensor is ignored after triggering three full
alarms until the system is rearmed.

Audio Systems
Your Delco Electronics audio system has been designed
to operate easily and give years of listening pleasure.
You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint
yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco

advanced engineering that went into
it.

PWR-VOL: Press this
knob to turn the system on and
off. To increase volume, turn the knob to the right. Turn
it to the left to decrease volume. The knob is capable of
rotating continuously.
RECALL: Press this button to recall the station being
played. If
you press the button when the ignition is off,
the clock will show for
a few seconds.
SCW Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise as you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob to the right to adjust the
SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same to you as you drive.
If you don’t want to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each notch on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
AM-FM: Press this button to switch between AM, FM1

station. Press SEEK again to stop scanning. The sound
will mute while scanning.

you return
to your favorite stations. You can set up to
