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,

replace it.

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
equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe cloth over the
mast sections,
removing any dirt.

to be sure the mast is still
tightened to the fender,
If necessary, tighten the antenna with your hand until
snug and then use a wrench to tighten it another
1/4 of a
turn.

1 CAUTION:
You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set the
parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an
automatic transaxle
in “P” (Park) or a manual
transaxle
in “N” (Neutral).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lights that aren’t needed, and radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short
circuits by a combination
of fuses, circuit breakers, and
fusible themdi links in the wiring itself.
This greatly
reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical problems.
This fuse panel is inside the
glove box. Pull the cover
down for access. Some
spare fuses and
a fuse
puller are included.
Be sure
to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem
on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow”
one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your car
that you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need.
Replace
it as soon as you can.
