3-57 Rear Seat Audio (If Equipped)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources including AM
-FM, cassette tapes
or CDs and to use automatic tone control. The rear
seat passengers can only control the music sources
that the front seat passengers are not listening to.
For example, rear seat passengers may listen to a
cassette tape or CD through headphones while the
driver listens to the radio through the front speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of the volume for
each set of headphones. The front seat audio controls
always override the rear seat audio controls.
This feature is intended for rear seat passengers.
The following functions are controlled by the rear seat
audio system buttons:
VOL: Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume
and counterclockwise to decrease volume. The left VOL
knob controls the left headphone and the right VOL
knob controls the right headphone.
PROG: With a cassette tape in the player and the
radio playing, press this button to play a cassette tape.
Press PROG to switch between the tape and compact
disc if both are loaded. Press PROG again to return
to the radio when a cassette tape or compact disc is
playing. The inactive tape or CD will remain safely
inside the radio for future listening.
PWR: Press this button to turn the rear seat audio
system on or off. The rear speakers will be muted
when the power is turned on unless you have a Bose
equipped vehicle. You may operate the rear seat audio
functions even when the primary radio power is off.

Understanding Radio Reception
AM
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.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
Understanding DVD Distortion
You may experience audio distortion in the IR
headphones when operating cellular phones, scanners,
CB radios, Global Position Systems (GPS)*, two
-way
radios, mobile fax, or walkie talkies.
It may be necessary to turn off the DVD player when
operating one of these devices in or near the vehicle.
* Excludes the OnStar
System.
3-60 Tips About Your Audio System
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.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage do the following:
1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
-- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two
-way radio -- be sure you
can add what you want. If you can, it's very
important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation
of your vehicle's engine, Delphi Electronics
radio or other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
3-63 Diversity Antenna System
Your AM FM antennas are located in the rear side
windows. Be sure that the inside surfaces of the rear side
windows are not scratched and that the lines on the glass
are not damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged,
they could interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear side windows with a razor
blade or anything else that is sharp. This may
affect your radio's ability to pick up stations
clearly. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone
to your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to
the glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines
for the AM FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.
Chime Level Adjustment
The volume level of the vehicle's chimes can be
controlled by the radio. To change the volume level,
press and hold pushbutton 6 with the ignition on
and the radio power off. The chime volume level will
change from the normal level to loud, and LOUD will
be displayed on the radio. To change back to the default
or normal setting, press and hold pushbutton 6 again.
The chime level will change from the loud level to
normal, and NORMAL will be displayed.

Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about driving is:
Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device in your
vehicle: Buckle up. See ªSafety Beltsº in the Index.Defensive driving really means ªbe ready for anything.º
On city streets, rural roads or freeways, it means
ªalways expect the unexpected.º
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be
careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might
do. Be ready for their mistakes.
Rear
-end collisions are about the most preventable of
accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough
following distance. It's the best defensive driving
maneuver, in both city and rural driving. You never
know when the vehicle in front of you is going to brake
or turn suddenly.
Defensive driving requires that a driver concentrate
on the driving task. Anything that distracts from the
driving task
-- such as concentrating on a cellular
telephone call, reading, or reaching for something on the
floor
-- makes proper defensive driving more difficult
and can even cause a collision, with resulting injury.
Ask a passenger to help do things like this, or pull
off the road in a safe place to do them yourself.
These simple defensive driving techniques could save
your life.
