E
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions:
ACCESSORY (A): An “on” position in which you can
operate your electrical power accessories. Press in the
ignition switch as
you turn the top of it toward you.
LOCK (B): The only position in which you can remove
the key. This locks your steering wheel, ignition and
transaxle.
OFF (C): Unlocks the steering wheel, ignition and
transaxle, but does not send electrical power
to any
accessories. In the
OFF position, the instrument cluster
and the automatic transaxle gear shift indicator have
electrical power. Use this position if your vehicle must
be pushed or towed, but never try
to push-start your
vehicle. A warning chime will sound if
you open the
driver’s door when the ignition is
off and the key is in
the ignition.
RUN (D): An “on7’ position to which the switch returns
after
you start your engine and release the switch. The
switch stays
in the RUN position when the engine is
running. But
even when the engine is not running, you
can use
RUN to operate your electrical power
accessories,
and to display some instrument panel
warning lights.
START (E): Starts the engine. When the engine starts,
release the key. The ignition switch will return
to RUN
for normal driving.
Note that even if
the engine is not running, the positions
ACCESSORY and RUN are
“on” positions that allow
you
to operate your electrical accessories, such as the
radio.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Check Oil Light
CHECK
OIL
This light should come on
briefly while you are
starting your engine.
If the
light doesn’t come
on, have
it repaired. If the light
comes
on while starting and
stays
on, your engine oil
level should be checked.
Charging System Light
The charging system light
will come
on briefly when
you turn on the ignition, and
the engine is not running, as
a check to show you
it is
working. Then it should
go
out.
Prior to checking your oil level, be sure your vehicle is
on
a level surface and has been shut off for several
minutes to allow the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Check your oil level and bring
it to the proper level.
See “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
The oil level monitoring system
only checks the oil
during the brief period between turning the key on and
when the engine starts.
It does not check the oil level
while the engine is running.
Parking
on steep grades may cause the light to come
on even when the oil level is correct. If this happens,
park the vehicle on a level surface and check the oil
level.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you
may have
a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive
belt, or another electrical problem. Have
it checked right
away. Driving while this light
is on could drain your
battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain
to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such
as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance
of
fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter
a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
mode knob
to FLOOR and the fan to the highest
speed for
a few moments before driving off. This
helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture
and reduces the chance
of fogging the inside of your
windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats cle.ar of
objects. This helps air circulate throughout your
vehicle.

Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate
easily and give years of listening pleasure.
You will get
the most enjoyment out of
it if you ac mint yourself
with
it first. Find out what your Delco 9s 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.
