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). And, 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 pick
up noise from things like storms and
power lines. Try reducing the treble to
reduce this noise if you ever get it. 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 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls and Audio Systems
Clean your tape player with a
wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette
(GM Part No. 12344600), 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.
. . .I18
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in theil
original cases or other protective cases
and away from direct sunlight and dust.
U
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 radio to raise the antenna.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral
spirits or an equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe the cloth over the mast, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe the mast dry with a clean cloth.
5. Turn the radio off and on to make the
antenna go down and up.
If the antenna is still dirty, repeat the steps.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Don't lubricate the power antenna.
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 dbwn.
If the antenna mast is damaged, you can
replace
it. See your dealer for a
replacement
kit and follow the
instructions in the kit. The antenna mast
can be replaced without removing the
entire antenna from the vehicle.

If your battery has run down, you may
want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your Corvette.
But please follow the steps below to
do it safely.
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result
in costly damage to your vehicle
that wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Trying to start your Corvette by
pushing or pulling it could damage
your vehicle,
even if you have a
manual transmission. And if you
have an automatic transmission, it
won’t start that way.
Ib Jump Start Your Corvette:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery with a- negative
ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt
system with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each
other. If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t
want.
You wouldn’t be able to start your
Corvette, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles.
Turn
off all lights that aren’t needed,
and radios. This will avoid sparks and
help save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!
I NOTICE:
I
If you leave your radio on, it could be
badly damaged. The repairs wouldn’t
be covered by your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the
batteries. Find the positive
(+) and
negative
(-) terminals on each.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of maxi-fuses, mini-fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
There are three fuse centers on your
vehicle. One
is in the right side of your
instrument panel. Turn the knob and pull
the door to access the fuses. The other
two fuse blocks are in the
engine compartment. One is part of the
Forward Lamp wiring harness
(A), and
the other is part of the ECM-Engine
wiring harness
(B).
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse with a new one of the correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can
get along without
- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
- and use its fuse, if it
is the size you need. Replace it as soon
as you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker
in the switch. An electrical
overload will cause the lights to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
off. If this
happens, have your headlight wiring
checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some
electrical problem and not snow, etc.,
be sure to get
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power
windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
