Fuel Gauge
*
[IS09700(ALL)01/96]
The fuel gauge displays approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the
ignition switch is ON.
*
[IS09850(ALL)01/96]
For a proper fuel gauge indication after adding
fuel, the ignition switch should be in the OFF
position while the vehicle is being refueled.
*
[IS09900(ALL)01/96]
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly while
the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel
movement within the tank. An accurate reading
may be obtained with the vehicle on smooth,
level ground.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
*
[IS11201(ALL)02/96]
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
*
[IS11301(ALL)05/96]
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into
the NORMAL band as the engine coolant warms
up. It is acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate
within the NORMAL band under normal driving
conditions. Under certain driving conditions,
such as heavy stop and go traffic or driving up
hills in hot weather, the pointer may move to
the top of the NORMAL band.
*
[IS11401(ALL)04/96]
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves
above the NORMAL band, the engine is
overheating and continued operation may cause
engine damage.

Before playing, inspect the disc for any
contamination. If needed, clean the disc with
an approved disc cleaner, such as the
DiscwasherHCompact Disc Cleaner or the
Allsop 3HCompact Disc Cleaner, by wiping
from the center out to the edges.Do not use
a circular motion to clean.
*
[AS03286(ALL)04/96]
q
Do not clean discs with solvents such as
benzine, thinner, commercially available
cleaners or antistatic spray intended for
analog records.
*
[AS03291(ALL)04/96]
q
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as defroster and floor
heating ducts. Do not leave any discs in a
parked car in direct sunlight where there may
be a considerable rise in temperature or
damage may result.
*
[AS03296(ALL)04/96]
q
After playing, store the disc in its case.
*
[AS03300(ALL)04/96]
q
If a disc has already been inserted, do not try
to insert another disc. Doing so may damage
the disc player.
*
[AS03325(ALL)04/96]
q
Do not insert anything other than a disc into
the disc player.
*
[AS03350(ALL)04/96]
NOTE: The use of optical instruments with
this product will increase eye hazard as
the laser beam used in this compact
disc player is harmful to the eyes. Do
not attempt to disassemble the case.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.

[AS04850(ALL)08/95]
Your cassette tape player is equipped with
power loading. Once you insert a tape and push
slightly (with theopen edge to the right), the
loading mechanism draws the tape the rest of

Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme
conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.

Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and
Tapes
*
[AS07575(ALL)08/95]
In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS07600(ALL)05/96]
q
Using a Ford or equivalent cassette cleaning
cartridge to clean the tape player head after
10-12 hours of play will help maintain the
best playback sound and proper tape
operation.
*
[AS07625(ALL)08/95]
q
Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less should be used. Tapes longer than 90
minutes are thinner and subject to breakage
or may jam the tape player mechanism.
*
[AS07650(ALL)08/95]
q
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme
conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.
*
[AS07675(ALL)08/95]
q
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a
pencil into one of the holes and turning the
hub until the tape is tight.
*
[AS07700(ALL)08/95]
q
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.
*
[AS07725(ALL)08/95]
q
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape
player when not in use. High heat in the
vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.

ªshadowº of the structure will allow the station
to return to normal.
*
[AS07900(ALL)05/96]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can
become quite severe in hilly terrain and
depressed roadways.
*
[AS07905(ALL)05/96]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this
system. This feature automatically switches a
weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS07910(ALL)05/96]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS07915(ALL)05/96]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While
passing the tower, the station may switch back
and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS07920(ALL)05/96]
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas), several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in
considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS07925(ALL)05/96]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM
and FM bands has been incorporated into this
system to reduce strong signal capture and
overload.
