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 to
prevent dust from setting in the cas-
sette body.
o We strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60
minutes total). Tapes such as C-
120 or C-180 are very thin and do
not perform as well in the automo-
tive environment. o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage
to replay one given tune or tape
section. This can cause poor tape
winding to occur, and eventually
cause excessive internal drag and
poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be
corrected by fast winding the tape
from end to end several times. If this
does not correct the problem, do not
continue to use the tape in your
vehicle.
B860A01A-AAT
CARE OF CASSETTE TAPES
Proper care of your cassette tapes will
extend the tape life and increase your
listening enjoyment. Always protect
your tapes and cassette cases from
direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty
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 become more
comfortable before listening to your
cassettes.
o Never leave a cassette inserted in
the player when not being played.
This could damage the tape player
unit and the cassette tape. B860A01L

ANTENNA
Roof Antenna
Your car uses a roof antenna to re-
ceive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
This antenna is a removable type. To
remove the antenna, turn the antenna
counterclockwise. To install the an-
tenna, turn the antenna clockwise.
o The playback head, capstan and
pinch rollers will develop a coating
of tape residue that can result in
deterioration of sound quality, such
as a wavering sound. They should
be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning
tape or special solution available
from audio specialty 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 in-
serting in the player. Rotate a pencil
in the drive sprockets to wind up any
slack. B860A03L
NOTE:
Look at a tape before you insert it.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by
turning one of the hubs with a pen-
cil or your finger.
If the label is peeling off, do not put
it in the drive mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where
they are exposed to hot, warm, or
high humidity, such as on top of
the dashboard or in the player.
If a tape is exposed to extreme heat
or cold, let it reach a moderate tem-
perature before putting it in the
player.

CAUTION:
o Be sure to remove the antenna before washing the car in an au-
tomatic car wash or it may be
damaged.
o Before entering a place with a low height clearance, be sure to
adjust the roof antenna low.
o When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tight-
ened to ensure proper reception.!

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion and damage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system,ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intake control is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. o Load Carrying. If it is necessary to carry long objects which do not permit the boot lid to be fully closed, the side windows must remain closed and the heating air intake control set to the "Fresh" position with the blower running at the highest speed setting. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

C055B01B-GAT STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE FOR TURBO CHARGER INTERCOOLER (DIESEL EN-GINE)
(1) Do not race the engine or sudden
accelerate the engine immediately after start it. If the engine is cold,allow the engine to idle for severalseconds before it is driven to en-sure sufficient lubrication of the turbo charger unit.
(2) After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load, the engine should be allowed to idleabout 1 minute before turning it off.This idle time will allow the turbo charger to cool prior to shutting the engine off.
WARNING:
Do not turn the engine off immedi-ately after it has been subjected to a heavy load. Doing so may cause severe damage to the engine orturbo charger unit.
WARNING:
Be sure that the clutch is fully de-pressed when starting a manualtransaxle vehicle. Otherwise thereis the potential to cause damage tothe vehicle or injury to someone inside or outside the vehicle as a result of the forward or backwardmovement of the vehicle that willoccur if the clutch is not depressedwhen the vehicle is started. SC060B1-E FUEL ECONOMY The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the greatest degreeof fuel economy.
o Maintaining a constant check on
fuel consumption will enable the most economical use pattern anddriving style to be adopted.
o Avoid using the vehicle for very short journeys if possible, particu-larly when a cold start is involved.
o Ensure that tyre pressures are main-
tained at the correct level.
o Use only the recommended grade
of fuel.
o Avoid carrying unnecessary weight,
and if a roof rack is in use, remove it as soon as possible after use.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead to enable adjustments in speed to be made smoothly. Avoidheavy acceleration and sharp brak-ing.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high
speeds.
5. Turn the ignition key to the "Start"
position and release it when theengine starts.
