OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
R
ECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations require the capture, purification and reuse of automotive refrigerantgases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your airconditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation ofpurified reclaimed refrigerant. C ASSETTE TAPES ANDCDS
There are some things you should know about cassette tapes and non-commercial CDs. Labels applied to tape cassettes and home-recorded CDs may curl, buckle or peel off. Thiscan result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove aÒstuckÓ CD or cassette are not covered by warranty. In addition,some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats may notbe compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or produceerror messages. If you encounter this, check your CD player byusing a commercial CD which is known to be playable. If a CD isnot compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the playerwill not solve the problem.
