Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to the highest speed for a few moments
before driving
off. This helps clear the intake outlets
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the area around the base of the center
instrument panel console and air path under the seats
clear of objects. This helps air circulate throughout
your vehicle.

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than
that are
so thin they may not work well in this player. If
a tape is inserted when the ignition is on but the radio is
off, the tape
will begin playing. A tape symbol is shown
in the center of the graphic display whenever a tape is
inserted. When
a tape is active, the tape symbol will be
accompanied by a direction arrow.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, AUTO TONE,
BAL, FADE, BASS and TREB controls just as you do
for the radio. Other controls may have different

tape is playing.

not be in squarely. Press EJECT to remove the tape and
start over.

the beginning of the current selection. Your tape must
have at least three seconds of silence between each
selection for PREV or SEEK to work. The tape direction
arrow blinks during PREV or SEEK operation. The
sound will mute during PREV or SEEK operation. Press
this button or one of the SEEK arrows again to return to
normal play.
