The instructions below tell you how to

radio automatically reverts to time and
you must
start the procedure over at step 4.

seconds with the ignition on and
radio power off. The display will
show SEC, indicating the unit is in

time appears, the disabling sequence
was successful (the numbers matched
the secret code) and the unit is in the

not match) and the
unit will remain

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.

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
Oldsmobile, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
You could be injured
if the

brake
firmly on each vehicle. Put
an automatic transaxle in

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!
