Playing a Compact Disc
With the radio on, insert a disc into the CD slot, label
side up. The player will pull it in. The disc should begin
playing. A CD symbol is shown in the center of the
graphic display whenever a disc is inserted.
Don't use the smaller discs (three
-inch singles). They
won't eject. Use full
-size compact discs.If you're driving on a very rough road or if it's very hot,
the disc may not play and Err (error) may appear on the
display. Press RECALL to take Err off the display.
When things get back to normal, the disc should play. If
the disc comes out, it could be that:

The disc is upside down. The player will not pull the
disc in.

It is dirty, scratched or wet.

It is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour and
try again.)
While the CD is playing, use the VOLUME, FADE,
BAL, TREB, BASS and TONE controls just as you do
for the radio. The CD player automatically begins
playing again when it reaches the end of the disc.
A disc that has been ejected but is still sitting in the
remote CD player will be pulled back into the player
after approximately 30 seconds. This protects the disc
and player from damage. The disc will not start playing.
To remove the disc, press the EJECT button and remove
the disc from the player.
REV (TUNE): Press and hold the left arrows to reverse
rapidly within a track. Release it to resume playing.

4-11 Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can
avoid these problems by braking
-- if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can't; there isn't room. That's
the time for evasive action
-- steering around
the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes
-- but, unless you have
anti
-lock, not enough to lock your wheels. (See
ªBraking in Emergenciesº earlier in this section.) It is
better to remove as much speed as you can from a
possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the
left or right depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

5-16 How to Add Coolant to the Radiator
1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap
and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the
pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until it first
stops. (Don't press down while turning the
pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push
down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap.

5-20 Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The equipment you'll need is in the rear area under the
carpet and cover.
Unbutton the carpet at the two outside corners. Pull back
the carpet and remove the cover over the spare tire.
Remove the compact spare tire by turning the wing nut
on the top of the spare counterclockwise and removing
it. See ªCompact Spare Tireº later in this section for
more information about the compact spare. Now you
have access to the compact spare tire. Pull it up to
remove it.
The jack is located behind the compact spare. Turn the
jack screw to remove the jack from the clamps. The
wheel wrench is located underneath the wing nut and the
jack handle is attached to the cardboard cover that is on
top of the spare tire. Remove all of these items.

clockwise to raise the lift head.

CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even make
the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal injury and
vehicle damage, be sure to fit the jack lift head
into the proper location before raising
the vehicle.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle
clockwise. Raise the vehicle far enough off the
ground so there is enough room for the spare tire
to fit.
5. Remove all the wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.
