This light will come on
when you
turn the key to
start and stay on until the
vehicle starts.
It will also
come on and stay on if your
key is too dirty or wet for
the PASS-Key% system to
read the resistor pellet.
,
If the light stays on,, stop the vehicle on a level surface
and turn the engine
off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.) If
thti light does not flash, have
the low oil level sensor
system repaired
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
The
oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally,
an oil level check.is
only performed if the engine has been turned
off for- a
considerable period
of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drkn back into the oil pan.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the light will
flash.
If you’re driving and the security light comes on
and remains on, your PASS-Key’II system is not
working pro erly. Your vehicle is not protected by
PASS-Key

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
EM Stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (14 to 45 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 F”,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere withveach other.
AM can also
pick up noise from things like storms and power lines.
To lower this noise, try reducing the treble level.
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.
3-17

To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
0 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. And, 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 retailer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly is subject to
reduced sound quality, ruining the cassette or damaging the mechanism. Tape cassettes that are not properly
stored
in their plastic cases away ,from contaminants,
direct sunlight, and extreme heat may not operate
properly and could cause premature failure
of the tape
player.
Your tape player should be cleaned with every
50 hours
of use to provide optimum performance. Your radio may
display Cln to indicate that you have used your tape
player for
50 hours without resetting the tape clean
timer. If you notice a reduction in sound quality,
regardless
of when the tape player was last cleaned, try
playing a different cassette to see if the tape or the tape
player is at fault. If the second cassette results
in no
improvement in sound quality, try cleaning the tape
player.
Proper tape player cleaning should be done with a
scrubbing action, nonabrasive cleaner cassette. This is a
wet-type cleaning system that uses a cleaning cassette
with pads that scrub the tape head as the hubs
of the
cleaner cassette turn.
To properly clean your tape player,
follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette. If you
