With  this  feature,  your  vehicle  will  recall  the  latest 
radio  settings  as  adjusted  the  last  time  your  vehicle  was 
operated.  This  feature  allows  two  different  drivers  to 
store  and  recall  their  own  radio  settings.  The  settings 
recalled  by the  radio  are  determined  by  which  RKE 
transmitter 
(“1” or “2”) was  used  to  enter  the  vehicle. 
The  number  on  the  back  of the  RKE  transmitter 
corresponds  to  driver 
1 or  to  driver 2. The  radio  settings 
will  automatically  adjust  to  where  they  were  last  set  by 
the  identified  driver.  The  settings  can  also  be  recalled  by 
briefly  pressing  the  memory  seat  buttons

on  the  driver’s  door. 
Your radio  can  store  home  and  away  presets.  Home  and 
away  presets  allow  you  to  use  one  set  of preset  radio 
settings  in  the  area  where 
you live,  and  another set when 
you  go  out  of  town.  That  way,  you  will  not  need  to 
reprogram  your  presets  every  time  you  travel.  With  the 
radio 
off and  the  clock  displayed,  use FF and  RW  to 
select  home  or  away  presets.

be  active.  To select  the  home  presets,  press  and  hold  RW 
for five  counts  until  you  hear  a  beep.  The  next  time  the 
radio  comes  on,  the  home  presets  will  be  active.

THEFTLOCK@  is  designed  to  discourage  theft of  your 
radio.  Your vehicle  has  a “built-in”  theft-deterrent 
feature  on  each  radio  that  is automatic 
-- there  is  no 
programming  required.  The radio  in  your  vehicle  cannot 
be  used  in any  other  vehicle.  When  the  radio  was 
originally  installed  in your  vehicle  at  the  factory,  it 
stored  the Vehicle  Identification  Number  (VIN).  Each 
time  the  ignition  is turned  on,  the  VIN 
is verified.  If the 
vehicle’s  VIN  does  not  match  the  VIN  stored  in the

Understanding  Radio  Reception 
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. 
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. 
Tips  About Your Audio System 
Hearing  damage  from  loud  noise is almost  undetectable 
until  it is  too  late.  Your hearing  can  adapt  to  higher 
volumes  of sound.  Sound  that  seems  normal  can  be  loud 
and  harmful  to  your  hearing.  Take  precautions  by 
adjusting  the  volume  control  on  your  radio  to a safe 
sound  level  before  your  hearing  adapts 
to it. 
3-38   
Page 206 of 386

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To help avoid  hearing  loss  or damage: 
Adjust  the  volume  control  to  the  lowest  setting. 
Increase  volume  slowly  until you  hear  comfortably 
and  clearly. 
I NOTICE: 
Before  you  add any  sound  equipment  to your 
vehicle 
-9 like  a  tape player,  CB  radio,  mobile 
telephone  or two-way  radio 
9- 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, radio or other  systems,  and 
even  damage  them.  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. 
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 may  cause  failure 
of the  tape  player. 
Your  tape  player  should  be  cleaned  regularly  after  every 
50 hours of use.  Your  radio  may  display  CLN or 
CLEAN TAPE to indicate  that  you  have  used  your  tape 
player  for 
50 hours  without  resetting  the  tape  clean 
timer. 
If this  message  appears  on  the  display,  your 
cassette  tape  player  needs  to  be  cleaned.  It  will  still play 
tapes,  but  you  should  clean  it as  soon  as  possible  to 
prevent  damage  to your  tapes  and  player.  If  you  notice  a 
reduction  in  sound  quality, 
try a  known  good  cassette  to 
see  if it is  the  tape or  the  tape  player  at  fault. 
If this  other 
cassette  has  no  improvement 
in sound  quality,  clean  the 
tape  player. 
The  recommended  cleaning  method  for your  cassette 
tape  player  is  the  use  of a scrubbing  action, 
non-abrasive  cleaning  cassette with  pads  which  scrub 
the  tape  head 
as the  hubs  of the  cleaner  cassette turn. 
The  recommended  cleaning  cassette  is available  through 
your  dealership 
(GM Part No. 12344789).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When  using a scrubbing  action,  non-abrasive  cleaning 
cassette,  it is  normal  for the  cassette  to  eject  because 
your  unit  is equipped  with  a cut  tape  detection  feature 
and 
a cleaning  cassette  may  appear  as  a broken  tape.  To 
prevent  the  cleaning  cassette  from  being  ejected,  use  the  following  steps. 
Turn  the  ignition  to  RUN  or  ACCESSORY 
Turn the  radio  off. 
Press  and  hold  the  SOURCE  button  for two  seconds. 
The  tape  symbol  on  the  display  will  flash  three 
times. 
Turn  the  radio  on  and  insert  the  scrubbing  action 
cleaning  cassette. 
Eject  the  cleaning  cassette after  the  manufacturer’s 
recommended  cleaning  time. 
When  the  cleaning  cassette  has  been  ejected,  the  cut  tape 
detection  feature is  active  again. 
You  may  also  choose  a non-scrubbing  action,  wet-type 
cleaner  which  uses  a cassette  with  a fabric  belt  to  clean 
the tape  head. 
This type of cleaning  cassette  will  not 
eject  on  its  own. 
A non-scrubbing  action  cleaner  may 
not  clean  as  thoroughly  as  the  scrubbing  type  cleaner. 
The  use 
of a  non-scrubbing  action,  dry-type  cleaning 
cassette  is  not  recommended. 
If your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  the  AM-FM  Stereo  with 
Cassette  Tape  Player,  press  and  hold  EJECT  for five 
seconds 
to reset  the CLN indicator  after  you clean  the 
player.  The  radio  will  display 
--- to  show  the  indicator 
was  reset. 
If  your  vehicle  is equipped  with  any  other  radio,  press 
and  hold  EJECT  for three  seconds  to  reset  the  CLEAN 
TAPE  indicator  after  you clean  the  player.  The  radio  will 
display  CLEAN  TAPE 
MSG CLEARED  to  show  the 
indicator  was  reset. 
Cassettes  are  subject  to  wear  and  the  sound  quality 
may  degrade  over  time.  Always  make  sure  the  cassette 
tape  is 
in good  condition  before  you  have  your  tape 
player  serviced. 
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.
