Service Vehicle Soon Light


Fuel Gage


SERVICE VEHICLE SOON


If your vehicle has this feature, this light will come on briefly as a bulb check when your ignition is turned to ON.


This light will come on and a warning chime will sound if you have certain non-emissions related vehicle problems. These problems may not be so obvious and may not affect vehicle performance or durability. Consult a qualified dealership for necessary repairs to maintain top vehicle performance. On vehicles with the supercharged engine and a DIC, the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON light is replaced by the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON message. See -.- ... UIL vvarnings ana iviessayes v r i paye S-SC fzlr EGE information.

When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have in your tank. When the gage reads in the colored band, a warning chime will sound and the CHECK GAGES warning light will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you need to get more fuel right away.


3-53


On vehicles with a DIC, the CHECK GAGES LOW FUEL message will be displayed when the fuel gage reads in the yellow band. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-60 for more information. Here are some things that owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:


At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. It takes a little more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more (or less) than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.


Boost Gage


Vehicles equipped with the supercharged engine have this boost gage that indicates vacuum during light to moderate throttle and boost under heavier throttle.


The gage displays the air pressure level going into the engine’s combustion chamber. The gage is automatically centered at zero every time the ignition key is turned to ON. Actual vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing weather, will slightly change the zero reading.

Electronic Compass 2 COMPASS


If your vehicle has a DIC, it also is equipped with an electronic compass. As with all compasses, this unit senses the earth’s magnetic field to show the direction the vehicle is pointing.


The earth’s magnetic field is not always the same direction as true north as we know it. So, you must enter a zone number to tell the compass the difference between magnetic and actual north. This tells the compass where in the country you are driving. The compass remembers your zone, so you only have to change it if you drive to a new zone on the map. The compass adjusts only a small amount for each zone, so you may not notice a difference if you drive from one zone to the next one, until you cross several zones.


DRIVER INFORMATION


3-68


Choosing Your Zone Number


Locate your zone number on the above map. If your number is different than the one shown when you turn the key on, follow the steps to change your zone number. If you live on the line, you can pick the zone area you are most likely to drive in. (In Alaska, use Zone 9 or IO. In Hawaii, use Zone 7.) Changing Your Zone Number 1. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION. 2. Press SELECT to display RESET


CHANGES ZONE.


3. Press RESET until your number appears. 4. Press MODE to exit the COMPASS CALIBRATION MODE and store the new zone number. When the MODE button is pressed, the DIC will return to the VEHICLE DATA mode.


3-69


Calibrating the Compass All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic profile of your vehicle. This is called calibration and is done automatically by your compass. However, if you would like to manually calibrate the compass, the following instructions will show you how. Sometimes, strong magnetic fields can affect the compass. If the compass display does not show a direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows:


1. Drive the vehicle to an open, flat area. 2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION. 3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO


RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET button.


4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN


SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small circles. Don’t drive faster than 10 mph (1 6 km/h).


5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION COMPLETE message is displayed on the DIC and a direction is shown for the compass.


Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this when a direction is shown and the CALIBRATE COMPASS message is no longer displayed.


3-70


Compass Accuracy Your compass may show different headings around bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills. This is normal and is true of compasses in general. If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk they could affect accuracy. If the affect is minimal, the compass will adapt to these objects over time. If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to mount it away from the center of the trunk near the rear window. The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the compass corrects for the rear defog. However, if the rear defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off again, the accuracy returns to normal. Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know they are there. As an example, many concrete roads have metal reinforcements inside. Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.


Audio System(s) 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, Delphi Electronics 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. Your audio system has been designed to operate easily and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your audio system can do and how to operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting I‘- - LI It: I I I U S 1 vu1 VI 11 IC U U V U l into it.

Understanding Radio Reception


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. FM Stereo FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (I 6 to 65 km). Tal! buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go. XMTM Satellite Radio Service XMTM Satellite Radio gives you digital radio reception from coast to coast. Just as with FM, tall buildings nr hills can interfere with Satellite radio signals, causing the sound to come and go. Your radio may display "NO SIGNAL" to indicate interference.

Care of Your Cassette 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 contarninants, 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 CLEAN PLAYER 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 the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player. For best results, use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The recommended 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 on its own. A non-scrubbing action cleaner may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner. The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning cassette is not recommended. After you clean the player, press and hold the eject button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN PLAYER indicator. The radio will display CLEANED 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 CDs 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 side without writing when handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.


Care of Your CD Player The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism. Diversity Antenna System Your AM-FM antennas are located in the windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside surfaces of the windshield and rear window are not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged, they could interfere with radio reception. Do not appiy an aftermarket glass tinting. The metaffic film in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the incoming radio reception. Notice: Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the rezr defngger grid and affect your radio’s ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the grid line must be repaired.


If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for the AM-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone antenna over the grid lines.


XM Satellite Radio Antenna System Your XMTM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.
