o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose or peeling off or tape ejection may be difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape surfaces.
o Keep all magnetized objects, such as electric motors, speakers or trans- formers away from your cassette tapes and tape player unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the open side facing down toprevent dust from setting in the cas-sette body.
o Never leave a cassette inserted in
the player when not being played.This could damage the tape player unit and the cassette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60minutes total). Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin and do notperform as well in the automotive environment.
CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES
B860A01A-AAT Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase yourlistening enjoyment. Always protect your tapes and cassette cases from direct sunlight and severely cold anddusty conditions. When not in use, cassettes should always be stored in the original protective cassette case.When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow the interior temperature to be- come more comfortable before listen-ing to your cassettes.

NOTE: Look at a tape before you insert it. If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning one of the hubs with a pencil or your finger.If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the drive mechanism. Do not leave tapes sitting wherethey are exposed to heat or high humidity, such as on top of the dashboard or in the player.If a tape is exposed to excessively hot or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before putting it in theplayer.
o The playback head, capstan and
pinch rollers will develop a coating oftape residue that can result in dete- rioration of sound quality, such as a wavering sound. They should becleaned monthly using a commer- cially available head cleaning tape or special solution available from audiospecialty shops. Follow the supplier's directions carefully and never oil any part of the tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly wound on its reel before inserting inthe player. Rotate a pencil in thedrive sprockets to wind up any slack.

o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to
replay one given tune or tape sec- tion. This can cause poor tape wind- ing to occur, and eventually cause excessive internal drag and pooraudio quality in the cassette. If this occurs, it can sometimes be cor- rected by fast winding the tape fromend to end several times. If this does not correct the problem, do not con- tinue to use the tape in your vehicle.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run theengine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the trunk open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front ofthe windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or any other obstructions.
