Playing A Cassette Tape - Pontiac 2003 Montana Owner's Manual

TRAF (Traffic): If TRAF appears on the display, the
tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements.
To receive the traffic announcement from the tuned
station, press this button. Brackets will be displayed
around TRAF and when a traffic announcement comes
on the tuned radio station you will hear it.
If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic
announcements, press this button and the radio
will seek to a station that does. When the radio finds a
station that broadcasts traffic announcements, it will
stop and brackets will be displayed around TRAF. When
a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station you will hear it. If no station is found, NO
TRAFFIC will appear on the display.
If the brackets are on the display and TRAF is not, you
can then press the TRAF button to remove the
brackets or use the TUNE knob or the SEEK arrows to
go to a station that supports traffic announcements.
If no station is found, NO TRAFFIC will appear on the
display.
Your radio will play the traffic announcements even if
the volume is muted or interrupt the play of a cassette
tape or CD if the last tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements.

CALIBRATE: Your audio system has been calibrated
for your vehicle from the factory. If CALIBRATE appears
on the display, it means that your radio has not been
configured properly for your vehicle and must be
returned to the dealership for service.

Playing a Cassette Tape

Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes
longer than that are so thin they may not work well in
this player. The longer side with the tape visible should
face to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is
off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. If
you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the
tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, BAL, FADE,
TONE, EQ and SEEK controls just as you do for
the radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow
showing which side of the tape is playing. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other side
when it reaches the end of the tape.
