3-33 Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
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 CLEAN
PLAYR 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.The recommended cleaning method for your
cassette tape player is the use of a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
The recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your dealer (GM Part No. 12344789).
When cleaning the cassette tape player with the
recommended non
-abrasive cleaning cassette, it is
possible that the cassette may eject, because the cut tape
detection feature on your radio may recognize it as a
broken tape. To prevent the cleaning cassette from being
ejected, use the following steps.

Turn the ignition to ON or ACC.

Turn the radio off.

Press and hold the TP CD button for five seconds.

Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.

Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning time.

3-34
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject on its own. A non
-scrubbing action cleaner may
not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
The use of a non
-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette is not recommended.
After you clean the player, press and hold the eject
button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN PLAYR
indicator. The radio will display CLEANED 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.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Backglass Antenna
Your AM-FM antenna is integrated with your rear
window defogger, located in the rear window. Be sure
that the inside surface of the rear window is not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio's
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.

4-11 Precision Control System (PCS) (Option)
If your vehicle is equipped with PCS, this system helps
your vehicle to go in the direction you are steering in
difficult driving conditions. This is accomplished when
the computer senses that your vehicle is starting to spin
and assists the driver by selectively applying any one of
the vehicle's brakes.
When PCS is active, the
LOW TRAC light will
come on. Continue to steer
in the direction you want
the vehicle to go and apply
the brakes normally to slow
the vehicle as desired.
You may hear or feel the system working, but this is
normal. You should adjust your driving accordingly.
See ªLow Traction Active (LOW TRAC) Lightº in
the Index.
United States Canada
When you first start the vehicle, the PCS light should
come on briefly. If the light doesn't come on then, have
your vehicle serviced so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
If you ever see the PCS warning light come on, it means
there is a PCS problem. If both the PCS and TRAC OFF
lights are on, neither the PCS nor the traction control
system are functioning. You can try resetting the system:
stop, turn off the engine, wait a few seconds and then
start the engine again. If both lights are still on, you
should have your vehicle serviced.

Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your disabled vehicle towed. See
ªRoadside Assistanceº in the Index. If you want to tow
your vehicle behind another vehicle for recreational
purposes (such as behind a motorhome), see
ªRecreational Vehicle Towingº in the Index.
Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage and a warning
light about a hot engine on your instrument panel
cluster. See ªEngine Coolant Temperature Gageº in the
Index. You also have a low coolant light on your
instrument panel cluster. See ªLow Coolant Lightº in
the Index.
Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode
This emergency operating mode allows your vehicle
to be driven to a safe place in an emergency situation.
If an overheated engine condition exists, an overheat
protection mode which alternates firing groups of
cylinders helps prevent engine damage. In this mode,
you will notice a significant loss in power and engine
performance. The low coolant light may come on
and the temperature gage will indicate an overheat
condition exists. Driving extended miles (km) and/or
towing a trailer in the overheat protection mode should
be avoided.
NOTICE:
After driving in the overheated engine protection
operating mode, to avoid engine damage, allow
the engine to cool before attempting any repair.
The engine oil will be severely degraded. Repair
the cause of coolant loss, change the oil and reset
the oil life system. See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.

6-15 When to Change Engine Oil
(GM Oil Life System

)
Your vehicle has a computer that lets you know when to
change your engine oil. This is based on engine
revolutions, and engine temperature and not on mileage.
10,000 miles (16 000 km) since your last oil and filter
change. Under severe conditions, the system may come
on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
vehicle more than 10,000 miles (16 000 km) or
12 months (whichever occurs first) without an
oil change.
The system won't detect dust in the oil. So, if you
drive in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil and
filter every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner.
Remember to reset the CHANGE OIL light whenever
the oil is changed. For the Oil Life System to work
properly, you must reset the system each time the oil
is changed.How to Reset the CHANGE OIL Light
After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset.
To reset the CHANGE OIL light after an oil change do
the following:
1. With the ignition key turned to ON, but the engine
off, fully push and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within five seconds.
2. If the CHANGE OIL light flashes, the system
is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF after the light has finished
flashing, then start the vehicle.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes back on, the engine oil
life system did not reset. Repeat the procedure.
