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) . 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.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
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@ signals, your stereo indicator
light will come on when you are
receiving it.

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.
Power Antenna. Mast ,Care
Your power antenna will lodlr~its best
and work well
if it's cleaned from time

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

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
down.
If the mast portion of your antenna is

Your Driving,and the,Road
Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about
driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety
device in your Oldsmobile: Buckle up.
(See
Safety BeZts 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 pedestriansor other
drivers are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they
might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
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.
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.
