NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio sys-
tem operation:
Be careful not to spill bever-ages over the audio system.
Do not put anything other thana cassette tape or Compact
Disc into the slot.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a problem
with your radio Ðit is just the normal
result of conditions outside the ve-
hicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or telephone wires can
interfere with AM signals. And of
course, radio signals have a limited
range, and the farther you are from a
station, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle
moves. Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not indicate
a problem with your radio: FM
Fading and drifting stationsÐGeneral-
ly, the effective range of FM is about
40 km (25 miles). Once outside this
range, you may notice fading and
drifting, which increase with the dis-
tance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi- pathÐFM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to
reach your antenna at the same time.
If this happens, the signals will cancel
each other out, causing a momentary
flutter or loss of reception.
Static and flutteringÐThese occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increas-
ing the bass level may reduce static
and fluttering.
Station swappingÐIf the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another strong
station nearby on the FM band, your
radio may tune in the second station
until the original signal can be picked
up again.

Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
Do not wash the vehicle floor
with water, or allow water to get
onto the floor when cleaning the
vehicle interior or exterior. Water
may get into audio components
or other electrical components
above or under the floor carpet
(or mat) and cause a malfunction;
and it may cause body corrosion.
Vinyl interior
The vinyl upholstery may be easily
cleaned with a mild soap or deter-
gent and water.
First vacuum over the upholstery to
remove loose dirt. Then, using a
sponge or soft cloth, apply the soap
solution to the vinyl. After allowing it
to soak in for a few minutes to loosen
the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off
the soap with a clean damp cloth. If
all the dirt does not come off, repeat
the procedure. Commercial foaming-
type vinyl cleaners are also available
which work well. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
NOTICE
Do not use solvent, thinner, gaso- line or window cleaner on the in-terior.
Carpets
Use a good foam- type shampoo to
clean the carpets.
Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to re-
move as much dirt as possible. Sever-
al types of foam cleaners are avail-
able; some are in aerosol cans and
others are powders or liquids which
you mix with water to produce a foam.
To shampoo the carpets, use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles.
Do not apply waterÐthe best results
are obtained by keeping the carpet as
dry as possible. Read the shampoo
instructions and follow them closely.
Seat belts
The seat belts may be cleaned with
mild soap and water or with luke-
warm water.
Use a cloth or sponge. As you are
cleaning, check the belts for exces-
sive wear, fraying, or cuts.
NOTICE
Do not use dye or bleach on the
beltsÐit may weaken them.
Windows
The windows may be cleaned with
any household window cleaner.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of thewindows, be careful not toscratch or damage the heaterwires on the rear window.
Air conditioning control panel, car
audio, instrument panel, console
panel, and switches

lukewarm water then lightly wipe off
any dirt.
