Navigation/Radio System (Option)
Navigation/Radio Display and Controls
The display screen is located in the center of the
instrument panel.Your vehicle may be equipped with an AM
-FM radio
navigation radio system that includes digital sound
processing (DSP), Radio Data System (RDS) with
program type selections (PTY) that will seek out the
kind of music you want to listen to. The radio system
can also communicate with your navigation system to
broadcast announcements on traffic, weather and
emergency alert communications. For information on
how to use this system, see the ªNavigation/Radio
Systemº supplement.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK
is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. Your vehicle has a ªbuilt
-inº theft-deterrent
feature on each radio that is automatic
-- there is no
programming required. The radio in your vehicle cannot
be used in any other vehicle. When the radio was
originally installed in your vehicle at the factory, it
stored the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Each
time the ignition is turned on, the VIN is verified. If the
vehicle's VIN does not match the VIN stored in the
radio, THEFTLOCK will be activated and the audio
system will not play. If the radio is removed from your
vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to
trace the radio back to your vehicle.

3-28 Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls can be adjusted at the steering
wheel. They include the following:
Volume: Turning the
knob increases and
decreases volume.
(Band/Source): Press this button to select AM,
FM1, FM2 or a source, either radio, cassette tape or CD.
The cassette or CD must be loaded to play. Available
loaded sources are shown on the display as a tape or a
CD symbol. (For vehicles with the six
-disc changer
radio
- If none of the audio sources are loaded, and this
button is pressed, NO SOURCE LOADED will appear
on the display.)
(Mute): Press this button to silence the system.
Press it again to turn on the sound. If your vehicle has
the Navigation system, this button does not have a
mute function.
See ªReconfigurable
Steering Wheel Controls
(SWC)º in the Index for
more information on
this feature.

3-31 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 will display CLEAN TAPE
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 the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.
For best results, use 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).For vehicles with the single compact disc player, use the
following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ON or ACCESSORY.
2. Turn the radio on.
3. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
4. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning time.
For vehicles with the six
-disc compact disc player, 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, in error.
To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use
the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ON or ACCESSORY.
2. Turn the radio on.
3. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
4. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning time.
