stolen but left in the following conditions,
the audio system with anti-theft system
does not operate even if the power supply
from the battery is returned to the normal
condition.
(1) The battery is discharged.
(2) The fuse has blown.
(3) Power supply from the battery has
been disconnected.
In these cases, input the security code by
the procedure shown below.

tery to the normal condition.
2. Place the ignition key in the “ACC” po-
sition.

Handling of cassette tapesEH02B-Ad
CAUTIONTo maintain the cassette tape player
in good condition, observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
(1) Do not use cassette tapes
longer than C-90, otherwise
sound quality and tape durabil-
ity will be greatly diminished.
(2) Keep the cassette tape in
its case to protect from tape
looseness and dust when it
is not used.
(3) Keep the cassette tape away
from direct sunlight, heat and
magnetic fields such as the ra-
dio speakers.
(4) Before inserting the cassette,
make sure that the label is ad-
hered securely to the cassette.
(5) A loose tape should be correct-
ed before use.
(6) Do not oil any part of the player
and do not insert any object
other than tape cassettes into
the slot, or the tape player may
be damaged. Also, avoid insert-
ing your fingers into the slot.
There is a danger of being burnt
by the hot internal parts.

Handling of compact discsEH12E-Dc
(1) Use only the compact discs with the
mark shown in the illustration above.
(Playback of CD-R discs may cause
problems. CD-RW discs cannot be
played.) The use of heart-shaped, oc-
tagonal, or any other non-circular
discs will result in damage.
(2) When the temperature suddenly
rises, i.e. immediately after the heater
is turned on in cold weather, dew con-
densation on the disc or in the player
might occur resulting in failure of op-
eration. In such a case, allow some
time before use.
(3) When the CD player is subjected to
violent vibration as during off-road
driving, detracking may result.(7) Do not use a disc that is cracked or
badly warped. Doing so might cause
a malfunction of the disc player.
(8) Do not use a ballpoint pen, felt pen,
pencil, etc. to write on the label sur-
face of the disc, and do not attach any
other labels, seals, etc.
CD player laser warning
Use of controls or adjustments, or per-
formance of procedures other than
normal use, may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Avoid direct exposure to beam. (4) When storing compact discs, always
store them in their individual cases.
Never place compact discs in direct
sunlight, or in any place where the
temperature or humidity is high.
(5) Take care never to touch the flat sur-
face of the disc where there is no
label. Doing so will contaminate the
disc surface and might adversely
affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by
grasping the outer circumference and
the centre hole.
(6) To clean the disc, use a soft, clean,
dry cloth. Wipe directly from the cen-
tre hole toward the outer-edge, do not
wipe in a circular pattern.
Never use any substances such as
benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

NOTE
On an air conditioned vehicle, the cool air
from the ventilators may appear as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will
clear after a few moments.NOTE

CAUTIONWhen using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase

is switched on/off automatically.
Especialy for vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission, while the vehi-
cle is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the vehicle
from creeping.
Heater/Air conditioning*
EH04ABNa
The heater/air conditioning can be oper-
ated while the engine is running.
The performance of the heater is directly
related to the temperature of the engine
coolant, so operate the heater after the
engine has had a chance to warm up. The
amount of air flow can be regulated by ad-
justing the blower speed.
1 - Air conditioning switch*
Push the switch, and the air condition-
ing unit (cooling/dehumidifying func-
tion) will operate, turning the oper-
ation indicator lamp on.
Push the switch again, and the air
conditioning unit will stop.

The heater will not operate if the dial
is set all the way to the left.
The air flow temperature will gradually
increase as the dial is turned to the
right.
NOTE
When the engine coolant temperature is
low, temperature of air introduced into the
passenger compartment does not change
even if the temperature control dial is
moved to the high temperature side.A: From front and side demister
