Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio systems
available for your Oldsmobile and how to get the best
performance from them. Please read about the system in
your vehicle.
Setting the Clock
No matter which audio system you have in your vehicle,
setting
the clock is easy.
1. With the ignition on and radio either on or off, press
SET. The SET indicator will appear on the digital
display for five seconds.
2. You must begin to set the clock to the correct hour
and minute during those five seconds.
If your audio system does not have
a compact disc
player:
Press
SCAN to set the hour.
Press SEEK to set the minute. If
your system has
a compact disc player:
Press
SCAN to set the hour.
Press the left SEEK arrow to decrease minutes or the
right
SEEK arrow to increase minutes.
If your vehicle is left with the ignition turned off for
over
24 days, battery power to your clock, audio system
and Remote Lock Control
(if you have this option) will
be turned
off to reduce battery drain. When the ignition
is turned on again, battery power will be resupplied.
However, under these conditions, it will be necessary
to
reset the clock and audio system settings. The
Delco-LOC
II@ feature on vehicles equipped with the
optional
