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
163

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.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, 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.
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.
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 ignition and radio to raise the antenna to full mast
extension.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe cloth over the mast sections, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe dry with clean cloth before retracting.
5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the radio or ignition on
and
off.
6. Then repeat if necessary. I II

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
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 down.
If the mast portion of your antenna
is damaged, you can easily replace it.
See your dealer for a replacement kit and follow the instructions in the
kit.

YOUR DRIVIlNG AND THE ROAD
Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and
in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on driving.
DEFENSZFE DMNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a
very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle
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.”
