bias, “equalization”
is 70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds
(120 p). Chrome and metal tapes are 70 1-1 sec and standard iron tapes are
120 p sec. Your tape player will adjust automatically for either type of

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 cause
failure
of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned after every
50 hours of use. 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.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette. This system uses a cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the
tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It is normal for the
cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert the cassette at least
3 times to
ensure thorough cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Cadillac dealership.
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. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing
type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject
to wear and the,sound quality and may degrade over
time. Always make sure that 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.

6. Then repeat if necessary.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication could damage
it.
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off your radio to
make the power antenna go down. This
will prevent the mast
from possibly getting damaged.

I- - c-
Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and
in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on driving.
DEFENSm DmNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device
in your Cadillac: Buckle
up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other -drivers are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their
mistakes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
DRUNKElN DRWZNG
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national
tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll,
claiming thousands
of victims every year. Alcohol takes away three things
that anyone needs to drive a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Police records show that almost half
of all motor vehicle-related deaths
pedestrian, had been drinking. In most cases, these deaths are the result
of someone who was drinking and driving. About 20,000 motor
vehicle-related deaths occur each year because
of alcohol, and thousands
of people are injured.

Just how much alcohol is too much if a person plans to drive? Ideally, no
one should drink alcohol and then drive. But if one does, then what’s “too
much”? It can be a lot less than many might think. Although it depends
on each person and situation,
here is some general information on the
problem.
The Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of someone who is drinking depends
upon four things:
How much alcohol is in the drink.
The drinker’s body weight.
The amount of food that is consumed before and during drinking.
The length of time it has taken the drinker to consume the alcohol.
