Cassette Tape Messages
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it
could be for one of the following reasons:
·The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning
the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Flip
the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not
turn easily, your cassette tape may be damaged
and should not be used in the player. Try a
new tape to be sure your player is working properly.
·The cassette tape is broken. (Check to see if
your tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
CLEAN TAPE:If this message appears on the display,
the 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 the tapes and player.
See
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-106.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer.
Playing a Compact Disc
Insert a disc partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in. If the ignition and the radio are on
and the underlined compact disc symbol appears on
the display, the disc will begin playing. A compact disc
may be loaded with the radio off but it will not start
playing until the radio is on. If you want to insert a disc
when the ignition is off, ®rst press the eject button.
The integral CD player can play the smaller 8 cm
compact discs. Full-size compact discs and the smaller
compact discs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in ®nding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.
Do not add paper labels to discs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
Do not play 3 inch discs without a standard adapter disc.
If an error appears on the display, see ªCompact Disc
Messagesº later in this section.

Your radio can store home and away presets. Home
and away presets allow you to use one set of preset
radio settings in the area where you live, and another set
when you go out of town. That way, you will not need
to reprogram your presets every time you travel.
With the radio off and the clock displayed, use fast
forward and reverse to select home or away presets. To
select the away presets, press and hold FF for ®ve
seconds until you hear a beep. The next time the radio
comes on, the away presets will be active. To select
the home presets, press and hold RW for ®ve seconds
until you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes
on, the home presets will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets
because the radio remembers them. However, you will
have to reset your away radio presets.Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCKžis designed to discourage theft of your
radio. Your vehicle has a ªbuilt inº theft-deterrent feature
on each radio that is automatic ± there is no
programming required. The radio in your vehicle cannot
be used in any other vehicle. When the radio was
originally installed in your vehicle at the factory, it stored
the Vehicle Identi®cation Number (VIN). Each time
the ignition is turned on, the VIN is veri®ed. If the
vehicle's VIN does not match the VIN stored in the
radio, THEFTLOCK
žwill be activated and the audio
system will not play. If the radio is removed from your
vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to trace
the radio back to your vehicle.

How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle ¯uid to use. SeePart D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-15.
If the ¯uid level is low, add only enough of the proper
¯uid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the
dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough ¯uid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn't take much ¯uid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Don't over®ll.
Notice:We recommend you use only ¯uid labeled
DEXRONž±III, because ¯uid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by ¯uid other than DEXRON
ž±III is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
3. After adding ¯uid, recheck the ¯uid level as
described under
How to Check.
4. When the correct ¯uid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way and turn the handle
clockwise.
How to Reset the Transaxle Fluid
Indicator
After the transaxle ¯uid has been changed, the transaxle
¯uid change indicator must be reset. To reset the
indicator, do the following:
1. Press the INFO button on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) until TRANS FLUID LIFE is displayed.
2. Press and hold the RESET button until 100%
is displayed. This resets the transaxle ¯uid change
indicator.
The percentage of transaxle ¯uid life remaining may be
checked at any time by pressing the INFO on the
DIC until the TRANS FLUID LIFE message appears.

CAUTION: (Continued)
vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the
proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the
wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot
but you wouldn't get the overheat warning.
Your engine could catch ®re and you or others
could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
žcoolant.
Notice:In cold weather, water can freeze and crack
the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. You can
remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap
when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is
no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise (left) until it ®rst stops. (Don't
press down while turning the pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
