at your
front side windows.
BI-LEV NC: With this, outside air comes in through the heater floor vent and
the instrument panel vents. This setting is useful in cool weather with bright
sunlight.
NORM
NC: This setting cools the outside air. If you first used MAX, use
NORM as soon as the vehicle has cooled down,
so outside air will be going
through your vehicle.
MAX NC: This cools the air the fastest. Move the other lever all the \
way to
Cold. MAX lets in only a little air from the outside. You can use MAX at first
when it’s really hot outside and you need to cool
off quickly.
OFF: The blower is off, but air still will come from outlets at the front of your
vehicle. The system will try
to keep the air at the chosen temperature.
Engine Block Heater
If you use the optional engine block heater before starting your \
engine, your
heating system will produce warmer air faster, to heat the pas\
senger
compartment in cold weather. See “Engine Block Heater” in the Index.
Audio Systems

sound level before your hearing adapts to
it.
To help avoid hearing IOSS or damage:

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, especi\
ally 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
C-QUA@
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadca\
sts. 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? your “STEREO” light will come on
when you’re receiving it.

A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced so\
und 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 ev\
ery
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.
Clean your cassette tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasi\
ve cleaning
cassette, 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.
