Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK" is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.
The THEFTLOCK feature for the radio may be used
or ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK is
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio will display
LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power has been interrupted. If your battery loses power
for any reason, you must unlock the radio with the
secret code before it will operate.
Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The instructions which follow, explain how to enter your
secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK system. It is
recommended that you read through all nine steps
before starting the procedure.
NOTE: If you allow more than
15 seconds to elapse
between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to
time and you must
start the procedure over at Step 4.

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 pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
Tips About Your Audio System
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.
3-28

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
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. 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.
Care of Your C.assette 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 may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLN to indicate
that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without
resetting the tape clean timer.
If this message appears
on the display, your cassette tape player needs to be
cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it
as soon as possible to prevent damage to your tapes and
player. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a
known good cassette to see if it
is the tape or the tape
player at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement
in sound quality, clean the tape player.
3-29

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
It
is normal for the cassette to eject while cleaning.
Insert the cassette at least three times to ensure
thorough cleaning. A scrubbing action cleaning
cassette
is available through your dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type
of cleaning cassette will not
eject and, it may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing type cleaner.
After you clean the player, press and hold EJECT for
five seconds to reset the
CLN indicator. The radio will
display
--- to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality
may degrade over time. Always make sure 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.
Integrated Windshield and Rear
Window Antennas
The antennas in your vehicle are located in the
windshield and the rear window. The connectors are
at the top of the windshield and the top of the rear
window above the rear window defogger.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TCS Light
The SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM message and the
TCS warning light will
come on to let you know if
there’s a problem with your TCS system. See
“SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM Message” in
the Index.
When this light and the SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM message are on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The TCS system automatically comes on whenever you
start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin, especially in
slippery road conditions, you should always leave the
system on. But you can turn the
TCS system off if you
ever need to. (You should turn the system off if your
vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or
snow. See
“Rocking
Your Vehicle” in the Index.) To
turn the system
off, press the button located on the
console. You can turn the system ON or
OFF at any time
by pressing the TCS switch. The DIC will display the
appropriate message when you push the button.

You will find an engine coolant temperature gage on the
instrument cluster and a COOLANT OVER TEMP
message on the Driver Information Center.
Overheated Engine Protection
Operating
Mode
Should a low coolant condition exist and the messages
COOLANT OVERTEMP and REDUCED ENGINE
POWER
are displayed, along with the CHECK
ENGINE light, an overheat protection mode which alternates firing groups of four cylinders helps prevent
engine damage. In this mode, you will notice a loss in
power and engine performance. This operating mode allows your vehicle to be driven to a safe place in an
emergency; you may drive up to
50 miles (80 km).
NOTICE:
After driving in the overheated engine protection
operating mode, to avoid engine damage, allow
the engine to cool before attempting any repair.
The engine
oil will be severely degraded. Repair
the cause of coolant
loss, change the oil and reset
the oil life monitor. See “Engine Oil, When to
Change” in the Index.

9 CAUTION:
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle’s handling
capabilities
will be reduced during severe
maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose
control
of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don’t drive over
55 mph (90 km/h) when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.
If a tire goes flat, you won’t need to stop on the side of
the road to change the tire.
You can just keep on driving.
The shorter the distance you drive and the slower the
speed, the greater the chance that the tire will not
have to be replaced.
If you drive on a deflated EMT
for
50 miles (80 km) or less and at speeds of 55 mph
(90 km/h) or less, there is a good chance that the tire can
be repaired. The tire can operate effectively with no air
pressure for up to 200 miles (320
km) at speeds up to
55 mph (90 kdh), but the tire would then have to be
replaced. When a tire is filled with air,
it provides a
cushion between the road and the wheel. Because you
won’t have this cushion when driving on a deflated tire,
try to avoid potholes that could damage your wheel and
require replacement of it.
Some road hazards can damage a tire beyond repair.
This damage could occur even before you’ve driven
on the tire in a deflated condition. When a tire has
been damaged, or if you’ve driven any distance on
a
deflated EMT, check with an authorized Goodyear
EMT Service Center to determine whether the tire can
be repaired or should be replaced. To maintain your
vehicle’s extended mobility feature, all replacement tires
must be Extended Mobility Tires.
As soon as possible,
contact the nearest authorized Chevrolet or Goodyear
EMT servicing facility for inspection and repair or
replacement. Call Chevrolet at 1-800-CHEV-USA
(1-800-243-8872) or Goodyear at 1-800-789-9878
24-hours a day for information on the location of the
nearest EMT servicing facility. In Canada, contact the
Customer Communication Center at 1-800-263-3777, or
Canadian Roadside Assistance at 1-800-268-6800. You
can also use the Goodyear number listed above to locate
an authorized EMT servicing facility.
