the Theft-Deterrent Feature.’’

Understanding Radio Reception
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). And, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come
and go.
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.

Comfort Controls & Audio Systems
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can
receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use
C-QUAM@
to produce stereo, though
some
do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered
trademark
of Motorola, Inc.) If your
Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when
you’re receiving
it.

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
regularly each month or after every
IS
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 a1
fault. If this other cassette has no
improvenlent in sound qualily. clean the
tape player. Clean
your tape player
with a
wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions
provided with it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape is
in good condition before you have your
tape player serviced.

I 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.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand
most car washes without being damaged.
If the mast should ever become slightly
bent, you can straighten
it out by hand. If
the mast is badly bent, as it might be by
vandals, you should replace
it.
Check every once in a while to be sure
the mast
is still tightened to the fender.

Your Driving and the Road
A
Road Sigpts
The road signs you see everywhere are
coded by color, shape and symbols.
It’s a
good idea
to know these codes so that you
can quickly grasp the basic meaning or
intent of the sign even before you have a
chance
to read it.
ISTOPI L ENTER
WRONG
WAY
Color of Road Signs
RED means STOP. It may also indicate
that some movement
is not allowed.
Examples are
DO NOT ENTER and
WRONG WAY.

RAILROAD
ADVANCE
CROSSING
YELLOW indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see a
yellow sign.
It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead,
a no-passing zone, or
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise,
a yellow solid line
painted on the road means
“Don’t Cross.”
LOW FLAGGER
SHOULDER AHEAD
ORANGE indicates road construction or
maintenance. You’ll want
to slow down
when
you see an orange sign, as part of
the road may be closed off or torn
up.
And there may be workers and
maintenance vehicles around,
too.
SyRLL I uwfl RWYTDW
GREEN is used to guide the driver.
Green signs
may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or show the direction you
should
turn to reach a particular place.

Shape of Road Signs
The shape of the sign will tell you
something,
too.
An OCTAGONAL (eight-sided) sign
means STOP.
It is always red with white
letters.
A TRIANGLE, pointed downward,
indicates YIELD.
It assigns the
right-of-way
to traffic on certain
approaches
to an intersection.
BLUE signs with white letters show
motorists’ services.
I
v CANOEING END DIVIDED HIGHWAY
A TRIANGULAR sign also is used on
two-lane roads to indicate a NO
PASSING ZONE. This sign
will be on the
left side
of the roadway.
BROWN signs point out recreation areas
or points of historic or cultural interest. A
DIAMOND-shaped sign is a warning
of something ahead - for example, the
end
of a divided highway, a curve, steep
hill,
soft shoulder, or a narrow bridge.

Your Driving and the Road
KEEP LEFT OR RIGHT TURN
RIGHT THROUGH ONLY
RECTANGULAR (square or oblong)
signs show speed limits, parking
regulations, give directions, and such
information as distances
to cities.
Symbols on Road Signs
There are many international road signs in
use today.
NO U TURN BICYCLES NO PARKING NO
The basic message
of many of these signs
is in pictures or graphic symbols.
A
picture within a circle with a diagonal line
across
it shows what not to do.
Traffic Lights
We’re all familiar with traffic lights or
stop lights. Often green arrows are being
used
in the lights for improved traffic
control. On some multilane roads, green
arrows light up, indicating that traffic
in
one or more lanes can move or make a
turn. Green arrows don’t mean “go no
matter what.’’
You’ll still need to proceed
with caution, yielding the right of way to
pedestrians and sometimes to other
vehicles.
Some traffic lights also use red arrows
to
signify that you must stop before turning
on red.
ProCarManuals.com

REVERSIBLE
LANE ON
ROADWAY MULTI-LANE
Many city roads and expressways, and
2ven bridges, use reversible-lane traffic
control during rush hours. A red
X light
above a lane means no driving
in that lane
at that time. A green arrow means you
may drive
in that lane. Look for the signs
posted to warn drivers what hours and
days these systems are
in effect.
NO PASSING ZONE
Pavement Markings
Pavement markings add to traffic signs
and signals. They give information to
drivers without taking attention from the
roadway. A solid yellow line on your side
of the road or lane means “don’t cross.”
Your Own Signals
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not only
more polite, it’s safer
to let other drivers
know what you are doing. And
in some
places the law requires driver signals.
Turn and lane change signals: Always
signal when
you plan to turn or change
lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals out
the window: Left arm straight out for a
left
turn, down for slow or about-to-stop,
and up for a right turn.

Slowing down: If time allows, tap the
brake pedal once or twice
in advance of
slowing or stopping. This warns the driver
behind you.
Disabled: Your four-way flashers signal
that your vehicle
is disabled or is a
hazard. See “Hazard Warning Flashers”
in
the Index.
Traffic Officer
The traffic police officer is also a source
of important information. The officer’s
signals govern, no matter what the traffic
lights or other signs say.
The next section discusses some of the
road conditions you may encounter.
Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about
driving
is: Drive defensively.
Please start
with a very important safety
device
in your Chevrolet: 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.
Expect children
to dash out from behind
parked cars, often followed
by other
children. Expect occupants
in parked cars
to open doors into traffic. Watch for movement
in parked cars - someone
may be about
to open a door.
Expect other drivers
to run stop signs
when you are
on a through street. Be
ready
to brake if necessary as you go
:hrough intersections.
You may not have
:o use the brake, but if you do, you will be
-eady.
If you’re driving through a shopping
center parking
lot where there are
well-marked lanes, directional arrows,
and designated parking areas, expect
some drivers to ignore all these markings
and dash straight toward one part of the
lot.
