quest that you inform the buyer about
the supplemental air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate
sections in this Owner's Manual.

CASSETTE TAPE OPERATIONS
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, then
insert the cassette tape into the tape door
by lightly pushing it. Because of the power
loading feature, the cassette tape is auto-
matically pulled into the player and begins
to play.
Do not force the cassette tape into the tape
door. Forcing a tape in or pushing too hard
could damage the player.
When a cassette is inserted into the audio
system, the word TAPE and a cassette sidesymbol (either 1 or 2) illuminate in the
display window.
A cassette tape can be loaded with the
ignition ON whether or not the radio power
is on. Inserting a cassette tape with the
radio power off causes the audio system to
turn on. After the cassette is ejected, the
audio system turns off. Also, the power
antenna (if so equipped) stays in the down
position during cassette tape operation.
The cassette tape automatically changes
directions to play the other side when the
first side is completed.
cTo maintain good quality sound, NIS-
SAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
moisture, and magnetic sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
