Comfort Controls & Audio Systems
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always verify that the cassette tape is
in
good condition before obtaining service
on your tape player.
Please note that cassette tape adapter kits
for portable
CD players will not work in
your cassette player. These adapter
cassettes will be ejected by
the radio.
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.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand
most car washes without being damaged.
If the mast should ever become slightly
bent, you can straighten
it out by hand. If
the mast is badly bent, as
it might be by
vandals, you should replace it.
Check every once
in a while to be sure
the mast
is still tightened to the fender.

5. Make the antenna go up and down by
turning the radio or ignition on
and off.
6. Then repeat if necessary.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna.
Lubrication could damage it.
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car
wash, turn
off your radio to make
the power antenna go down. This
will prevent the mast from possibly
getting damaged. If the antenna
does not go down when you
turn the
radio off,
it may be damaged or
need to be cleaned. In either case,
lower the antenna
by hand by
carefully pressing the antenna down.
If the mast portion of your antenna is
damaged, you can easily replace it. See
your dealer for a replacement
kit and
follow the instructions
in the kit.
Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and
work well
if it’s cleaned from time to
time.
To Clean the Antenna Mast:
1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise
the antenna to
full mast extension.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral
spirits or an equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe a cloth over the mast sections,
removing any dirt.
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth before
retracting.
