Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up
to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes
longer than that are
so thin they may not work well in
this player. The longer side with the tape visible should
face to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is
off, the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. If
you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not
be in squarely. Press the eject button to remove the
tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the
VOL, BAL, FADE,
TONE, EQ and SEEK controls just as you do for
the radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow
showing which side
of the tape is playing. The
tape player automatically begins playing the other side
when it reaches the end of the tape. Your
tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted.
If you want to insert a
tape while the ignition is
off, first press the eject button
or push the RCL knob.

Care of Your CD Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the
CD optics
with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antennas are located in the windshield and
rear window. Be sure that the inside surfaces of the
windshield and rear window are not scratched and that
the lines on the glass are not damaged.
If the inside
surfaces are damaged, they could interfere with
radio reception.
Do not appiy an aftermarket glass tinting. The metaffic
film in some tinting materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio reception.
Notice: Do not try to clear frost or other material
from the inside
of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that
is sharp. This may damage
the rezr defngger grid and affect your radio’s ability
to pick up stations clearly. The repairs wouldn’t
be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that
a defogger grid line has been damaged.
If this is true,
the grid line
must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone
to your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to
the glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid
lines for the AM-FM antennas
or place the cellular
telephone antenna over the grid lines.
XM Satellite Radio Antenna System
Your XMTM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the
roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of
snow and ice build
up for clear radio reception.

to do all the work
of slowing down. They could
get
so hot that they wouldn’t work well. You
would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill. You could crash. Always
have your engine running and your vehicle in
gear when you go downhill.
Know how to go uphill. Drive in the highest gear
possible.

roads in hills or mountains. Don’t swing wide or
cut across the center of the road. Drive at speeds

You may see highway signs on mountains that
warn of special problems. Examples are long
grades, passing or no-passing zones, a falling rocks

appropriate action.

Adding Washer Fluid
The washer fluid warning light will come on when the
ignition switch is on and the fluid container is less than
one-third full. On vehicles with the optional Driver
Information Center (DIC), a WASHER FLUID LOW
message
will be displayed and a chime will sound letting
you know to add windshield washer fluid to your
vehicle.
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it. Add
washer fluid until the
tank is full.
Notice:

When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution to freeze and
damage your washer fluid tank and other parts
of the washer system.
Also, water doesn’t
clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only three-quarters
full when
it’s very cold. This allows for
expansion if freezing occurs, which could damage the tank if
it is completely full.
Don’t use engine coolant (antifreeze)
in your
windshield washer. It can damage your
washer system and paint.

Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered
by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling
it
won’t work, and it could damage your vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
Notice:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual transmission in
NEUTRAL (N) before setting the parking brake. Notice:
If you
leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the accessory power outlet. Turn
off
the radio and all lamps that aren’t needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate the
positive
(+) and the negative (-) terminal locations
on that vehicle.
Open the hood on your vehicle and find the remote
positive
(+) terminal located in the engine
compartment
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
See
Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-14
for more information on location.
