Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Care of bur 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 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.

Care of Your Cassette Tape
Player
(CONT.)
Clean your tape player with a wiping-
action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette,
and follgw 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.
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.

Road Signs
The road signs you see everywhere are
coded
by color and shape. It's a good
idea to
know these codes so that you can
quickly grasp the basic meaning or
intent
of the sign even before you have a
chance to read it.
SrOP DO NOT WRONG ENTER WAY
;_.
Color of Road Signs
Red means Stop. It may also indicate
that some movement is
not allowed.
Examples are
Do Not Enter and Wrong
Way.
.... YTDU
Green is used to guide the driver. Green
signs may indicate upcoming freeway
exits
or show the direction you should
turn to reach a particular place.
RR ADVANCE NARROW NO PASSING
CROSSING BRIDGE ZONE
Yellow indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be carefbl when
you see
a yellow sign.
It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no passing zone, or
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid
line
painted on the road means Don't Cross.
HOSPITAL INFORMATION
Bhe signs with white letters show
motorists' services.
... I24

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine LOW WORKERS FLAGGER SHOULDER AHEAD AHEAD
Orange indicates road construction or
maintenance.
You’ll want to slow down
when you see an orange sign, as part
of
the road may be closed off or tom up.
And there may be workers and
maintenance vehicles around, too.
:I
CANOEING SWIMMING
Brown signs point out recreation areas
or points
of historic or cultural interest.
Shape of Road Signs
The shape of the sign will tell you
something,
too.
An octagonal (eight-sided) sign means
Stop. It is always red with white letters.
A
A triangle, pointed downward, indicates
Yield. It assigns the right
of way to
traffic
on certain approaches to an
intersection.
A diamond-shaped sign is a warning of
something ahead-for example, a curve,
steep hill,
soft shoulder, or a narrow
bridge.
A triangular sign also is used on two-
lane roads to indicate a
No Passing
Zone. This sign
will be on the left side
of the roadway.

Symbols on Road Signs
There are many international road signs
in use today.
NO U NO NO
TURN PARKING BICYCLES
The
basic message of many of these
signs
is in pictures or graphic symbols.
A picture within a circle with a diagonal
line across it shows what not to do.
L
Traffic 1 ights
We’re all familiar with traffic lights or
stop lights. Often green arrows are being
used
in the lights for improved traffic
control. On some multilane roads, green
arrows light up, indicating that traffic
in
one or more lanes can move or make a
turn. Green arrows don’t mean
“go no
matter what.’’ You’ll still need to
proceed
with caution, yielding the right
of way to pedestrians and sometimes to
other vehicles.
Some traffic lights also use red arrows
to signify that
y~u must.stop before
turning
on red.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine REVERSIBLE LANE ON MULTILANE ROADWAY
Many city roads and expressways, and
even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic
control during rush hours. A red
X light
above
a lane means no driving in that
lane at that time. A green arrow means
you may drive in that lane.
Look for the
signs posted
to warn drivers what hours
and days these systems are in effect.
NO PASSING ZONE
Pavement Markings
Pavement markings add to traffic signs
and signals. They give information to
drivers without taking attention from the roadway.
A solid yellow line on your
side
of the road or lane means Don’t
Cross.
Mur Own Signals
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not
only more polite, it’s safer
to let other
drivers
know what you are doing. And
in some places the law requires driver
signals.
Turn and Lane Change Signals:
Always signal when you plan to turn or
change lanes.
If necessary,
you can use hand signals
out the window: Left arm straight out for a left
turn, down for slow or about-
to-stop, and up for a right
turn.
Slowing Down: If time allows, tap the
brake pedal once or twice in advance of
slowing or stopping. This warns the
driver behind you.
Disabled: Your four-way flashers signal
that your vehicle is disabled or is a
hazard. See the
Index under Hazard
Warning Flashers.
Traffic Officer
The traffic police officer is also a source
of important information. The officer’s
signals govern, no matter what the
traffic lights or other signs say.
The next section discusses some
of the
road conditions
you may encounter.

Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about
driving is: Drive defensively.
Please
start with a very important safety
device in your Chevrolet: Buckle up. (See the
Index under Safety Belts.)
Defensive driving really means “be
ready for anything.” On city streets, rural roads, or freeways, it means
“always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers
are going to be careless and make
mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
Expect children to dash out from behind
parked cars, often followed by other
children. Expect occupants in parked
cars to open doors into traffic. Watch for movement in parked cars-someone
may be about to open a door.
213
Expect other drivers to run stop signs
when you are on a through street. Be
ready to brake if necessary as you go
through intersections. You may not have
to use the brake, but if you do, you will
be ready.
If you’re driving through a shopping
center parking lot where there are well-
marked lanes, directional arrows, and
designated parking areas, expect some
drivers to ignore
all these markings and
dash straight toward one part of the lot.
Pedestrians can be careless. Watch for
them.
In general, you must give way to
pedestrians even if you know you have
the right of way.
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.
Here’s a final bit
of information about
defensive driving. The most dangerous
time for driving in the
U.S. is very early
on Sunday morning.
In fact, GM
Research studies show that the most and
the least dangerous times for driving,
every week, fall on the same day. That
day is Sunday. The most dangerous time
is Sunday from
3 a.m. to 4 a.m. The
safest time is Sunday from
10 a.m. to
11 a.m. Driving the same distance on a
Sunday at
3 a.m. isn’t just a little more
dangerous than it is at
10 a.m. It’s about
134 times more dangerous!
That leads to the next section.
