CAUTION:
An improperly stored cargo cover could be
thrown about the vehicle during a collision or
sudden maneuver. You or others could be
injured. If you remove the cover, always store it
horizontally between the front seatbacks and rear
seat cushion. When you put it back, always be
sure that it is securely reattached.
To install the cargo cover:
1. Raise the rear seatback.
2. Place the cover into its retainers and slide it gently
away from you until it is secure.
3. Attach the lifter lines to the hatchback lid.
Ashtray and Cigarette Lighter
Pull the door to open the ashtray. To remove it, press
down on the silver tab and pull the ashtray out.
NOTICE:
Don't put papers and other things that burn into
your ashtray. If you do, cigarettes or other smoking
materials could set them on fire, causing damage.
To use the lighter, push the lighter in all the way and let
go. When it's ready, it will pop back by itself.
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the visors.
You can also swing them to the side. If the visors swing
too easily, tighten the screw on the roof rail.
Your sun visors may have pockets. You can put light
items, such as a map, in the pockets.

--- to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may

player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Antenna (If Equipped)
Use the knob on the end of the antenna to raise the
antenna. To lower it, hold the antenna mast near the roof
and feed it into the holder. Do not try to lower the
antenna using the knob. Keep the antenna mast clean for
good performance.
Always lower the antenna before entering a car wash.
