If your vehicle has
power door locks,
push the power door
lock switch to lock or
unlock all the doors at
once.
The power door lock switch will not lock or unlock the rear hatch and Dutch
doors.
You must use the HATCH REL switch. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch
Doors Release’’ in this section.
Every vehicle with power door locks has
a pulse lock system. A pulse lock
system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you push the power door lock switch, the
sliding door will not lock immediately. After
you close the door, the system
comes on and, in about five seconds, locks the sliding door.
All models have overriding door locks. When
a door is locked, the door
handle will not work the latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened. However, power door locks do
not affect the operation
of the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set the
locks from inside. Then get
out and close the door.
Keyless Entry System
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or hatch
from up to

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will
not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as
you own,
provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only two transmitters matched
to it.

Delco LOC II@ is an anti-theft feature for the compact disc player. It can be
used or ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally. If it is used, your
player won’t be usable
if it is ever stolen, because it will go to LOC mode
any time the battery power is removed. After a
loss of battery power, the
player cannot be turned on unless an unlock code is entered.
The instructions below tell you how to enter
a secret code into the system. If
your vehicle loses battery power for any reason, you must unlock the system
with the secret code before the radio will turn on.

the display shows “SEC”, the disabling sequence was
unsuccessful and
the numbers did not match either of the codes and the
unit will remain
in the SECURED mode.
Understanding Radio Reception
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 sound to come and
go.
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.
AM Stereo means the DelcoB system can receive C-QUAM@stereo
broadcasts. Many AM stations around
the countr use C-QUAM@ to
produce stereo, though some do not. (C-QUAM
4 is a registered trademark
of Motorola, Inc.) If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light
will come on when you’re receiving 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.

The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to
be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good
braking. Vehicles we design and test have topquality
GM brake parts in
them, as your vehicle does when it is new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
- for example, when your brake linings wear down and
you have to have
new ones put in - be sure you get new genuine GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly.
For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change
- for
the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change in
many other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Hydro-Boost Brake System
The power steering pump also powers the Hydro-Boost. Refer to “Power
Steering Fluid” in this section when checking the fluid level or adding fluid.
Battery
Every new vehicle has a Delco Freedom’ battery. You never have to add
water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend
a
Delco Freedom’ battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative (-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
Contact your dealer
to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
