you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Specially Treated Windshield
(ZR-I)
Your ZR-1 windshield is treated to reduct
the amount of solar heat entering your
vehicle. It makes it easier for your air
conditioning system to keep you
comfortable.
The windshield treatment reduces the
effectiveness of some carry-on electrical
equipment. There is an opening in the
windshield treatment at the bottom
center of the windshield.
Vow-Through Ventilation

Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducini
the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold
weather, adjust the fan to the highest
speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.

Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been
designed to operate easily and give years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the
most enjoyment out of
it if you acquaint
yourself with it first. Find out what your
Delco@ system can do and how to operate
all its controls, to be sure you’re getting
the most out of the advanced engineering
that went into it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment
to your
;chicle - 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, Delco@ radio or other systems, and even damage them. And, 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.

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. 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 15
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.
117.. .
Page 119 of 274
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls and Audio Systems
Clean your tape player with a
wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette
(GM Part No. 12344600), 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.
. . .I18
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in theil
original cases or other protective cases
and away from direct sunlight and dust.
U
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.
Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and
work well if it’s cleaned from time to
time.
To clean the antenna mast:
1. Turn on the radio to raise the antenna.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral
spirits or an equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe the cloth over the mast, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe the mast dry with a clean cloth.
5. Turn the radio off and on to make the
antenna go down and up.
If the antenna is still dirty, repeat the steps.
Page 120 of 274
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Don't lubricate the power antenna.
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. If the antenna does
not go down when you turn the radio
off, it may be damaged or need to be
cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna by hand by carefully
pressing the antenna dbwn.
If the antenna mast is damaged, you can
replace
it. See your dealer for a
replacement
kit and follow the
instructions in the kit. The antenna mast
can be replaced without removing the
entire antenna from the vehicle.
