you turn on
the ignition, but the engine
is not running, as a check to show you it
is working. Then it should go out when

you have a loose generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have

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.
To help avoid hearing loss or
damage:
Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until
you hear comfortably and
clearly.

equipment to
your vehicle - like a

equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle’s engine,
Delco@ radio or other systems, and
even damage them. And, your
vehicle’s systems may interfere
with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound
