If battery power is lost for any reason, the
secret code must be entered again before
your audio system can be turned on.

keep it in a safe place. This is your
secret code.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Rotate the PWR-VOL knob to turn
the radio

8. Press the TUNE knob. If the display
shows
"- - -," the radio is unsecured
and
will play again. If the display

steps
1-8 for disabling your system, and
the time will appear
if you are successful.
If
SEC appears, the numbers did not
match and
YOUK unit is still locked.
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 la). 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 also pick up noise from things
like storms and power lines. To lower
this noise,
try reducing the treble level.
Care of Your Cassette Tape
Player
A tape player that is not cleaned
regularly
is subject to reduced sound
quality, ruining the cassette, or
damaging the mechanism. Tape
cassettes that are not properly stored in
their plastic cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat may not operate properly
and could cause premature failure of I'
the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned
monthly or with every
15 hours of use,
as regular maintenance. If you notice a ll
reduction in sound quality, try a good
cassette to see
if the tape or the tape
player is at fault. If the second cassette
results in no improvement in sound

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine quality, try cleaning the tape player.
Proper tape player cleaning should be
done with
a wiping action nonabrasive
cleaner cassette.
To properly clean your
tape player, you should follow the
directions on the cleaning cassette.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always verify that the cassette tape is in
good condition before obtaining service
on your tape player.
.," c.
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.

Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about
driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety
device in your Chevrolet: Buclde 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 mistaltes.
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.
I Drunken Driving
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 involve
alcohol
- a driver, a passenger or
someone else, such as a 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine According to the American Medical
Association, a 180-pound (82 kg)
person who drinks three 12-ounce
(355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will
end up with a BAC
of about 0.06
percent. The person would reach the
same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce
(120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed
drinks
if each had 1 H ounces (45 ml) of
a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
It’s the amount
of alcohol that counts.
For example, if the same person drank
three double martinis
(3 ounces or 90
ml of liquor each) within an hour, the
person’s BAC would
be close to 0.12
percent. A person who consumes food
just before or during drinking will have
a slightly lower BAC level.
Drinking That WIN Resuit in a
BAC of -05% in the Time Shown

1 HOUR
100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 BOQY WEIGHT IN POUNDS
rhe law in most U.S. states sets the
legal limit at a BAC of
0.10 percent. In
Canada the limit is
0.08 percent, and in
some other countries it’s lower than
that. The BAC will be over
0.10 percent
after three to six drinks (in one hour).
Of course, as we’ve seen,
it depends on
how much alcohol is in the drinks, and
how quickly the person drinks them.
But it’s very important to keep in mind
that the ability to drive is affected well
below
a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research
shows that the driving skills of many
people are impaired at a BAC
approaching
0.05 percent, and that the effects
are worse at night. All drivers are
impaired
at BAC levels above 0.05
percent. Statistics show that the chance
of being in an accident increases sharply
for drivers who have a BAC
of 0.05
percent or above. A driver with a BAC
level
of 0.06 percent (three beers in one
hour for a 180-pound or 82 kg person)
has doubled his or her chance
of having
an accident. At a BAC level of 0.10
percent, the chance of that driver
having an accident is six times greater;
at a level of 0.15 percent, the chances
are twenty-five times greater! And, the
body takes about an hour to rid itself
of
the alcohol in one drink. No amount of
coffee or number
of cold showers will
speed that up.
“I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer.
What
if there’s an emergency, a need to
take sudden action, as when a child
darts into the street? A person with
a
higher BAC might not be able to react
quickly enough to avoid the collision.
There’s something else about drinking
and driving that many people don’t
know. Medical research shows that
alcohol in a person’s system can make
crash injuries worse. That’s especially
