The other positions let you perform these functions:
ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is
off. To get into “ACC”, push in the key and turn
it toward
you. Yoursteeringwheel will remain locked, just as it was
before you inserted the key.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like “Lock.” Use “Off”
if you
must have your car in motion while the engine is
off (for example, if your
car is being pushed).
RUN This is the position for driving.
START This starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Lock” and you can’t turn it, be sure
it
is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while. you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch.
If none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your,,engine won’t
start in
any other position -- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use “N” (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park).. if your Cadillae is moving. If you
do, you could .damage the transmission. Shift to “P” (Park) only
when your vehicle
is stopped. ”. .

don’t put decals there; you might have to scrape them
off.
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delco sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. 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.
Be aware that 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.
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 I
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to pour vehicle -- 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.
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 popping, crackling, or a momentary
hissing sound.
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.
Speed Sensitive Volume
Your Delco radio automatically adjusts the volume level to compensate
for road and wind noise as you are driving.
Dolby@
This feature automatically removes noise on Dolby encoded tapes (no
button is required).

AM Stereo
This means the belco’ system can 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@, your “ST” light will
come on when you’re receiving it.
This means that your sound system can produce quality
AM sound
comparable to
FM stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the
high frequencies you need for the best sound. In addition to improved
sound quality,
AMAX@ includes more stations on the AM band. You
don’t have to do anything in your radio because
AMAX@ is automatic.
How To Operate Your Sound System
Your Cadillac will have one of these Delco Radio Systems.
