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 contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly or cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each
month or after every
15 hours of use. 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.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette, aild follow the directions
provided with it.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short
circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and
fusible thermal links in the wiring itself.. This greatly
reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
Be sure to use the correct fuse if you need to replace
one.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one
of the correct
value. Just pick some feature
of your car that you can
get along without
- like the radio or cigarette lighter -
and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need. Replace it
as soon as you can.
There are two fuse block areas inside your vehicle. One is located on the left side of the console under a carpeted
panel cover. Remove the cover to access the fuses.
