Understanding Radio Reception
F” Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound,
but FM signals will reach only about 10 to
40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come
and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at night.
The longer range, however, can cause
stations to interfere with each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing
the treble to reduce this noise if you
ever get it.
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.

Comfort Controls & Audio Systems
Clean your tape player with a
wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette and follow the directions
provided with
it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape
is in good condition before you have
your tape player serviced.
Antenna
Use the knob on the end of the antenna
to raise the antenna
or to push it back
down. Keep the antenna mast clean for good performance. Always lower the antenna before
entering a car wash.
If you have the canvas top, also lower
the antenna before removing
or
installing the top.

Your Driving and the Road
m Road Signs
The road signs you see everywhere are
coded by color, shape and symbols. It’s
a good idea to know these codes
so that
you can quickly grasp the basic meaning
or intent
of the sign even before you
have a chance to read it.
A
WAY I
Color of Road Signs
RED means STOP. It may also indicate
that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
DO NOT ENTER and
WRONG WAY.
NARROW BRIDGE
YELLOW indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see
a yellow sign. It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no-passing zone, or
line
some
other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid
painted on
the road means “Don’t
Cross.”
LA w7
LOW
SHOULDER
ORANGE indicates road construction or
maintenance. You’ll want to slow down
when you see an orange sign, as part
of
the road may be closed off or torn up.
And there may be workers and
maintenance vehicles around, too.
GREEN is used to guide the driver.
Green signs may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or
show the direction you
should turn to reach
a particular place.
