Audio System(s)
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. Your
audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to 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 audio system can do and
how to operate
all of its controls to be sure you’re
getting the most out of the advanced engineering that
went into it.
Your vehicle has
a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned
off. See Retained
Accessory Power under
Ignition Positions on page 2-18.

you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the
tape and start over.

tape is tight and the player can’t turn the tape hubs.
Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the open end down
and try to turn the right hub counterclockwise with a
pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not
turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should
not be used in the player. Try a new tape to make sure
your player is working properly.
BROKEN TAPE: This message is displayed when the
tape is broken. Try a new tape.
WRAPPED TAPE: This message is displayed when the
tape is wrapped around the tape head. Attempt to get
the cassette out. Try a new tape.
