Care of the videocassette player (VCP)
Environmental extremes
Videocassette players subjected to harsh environmental conditions may
be damaged or perform at less than maximum capability. To avoid these
outcomes, avoid leaving the VCP:
•in extremely hot or cold temperatures.
•in direct sunlight.
•in high humidity.
•in a dusty environment.
•in locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
•on a surface that is instable or subject to vibrations.
Temperature extremes
When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.
High/low temperature sensor circuit
•Excessively high or low temperatures may cause damage to the VCP.
•When the temperature of the VCP becomes too high or low, the
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation, ejects the
cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp will remain
illuminated until the system has returned to a safe operating
temperature.
Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the VCP under extremely humid
conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one. Moisture
condensation on the tape playback head drum may damage the
videocassette and/or drum. If moisture condensation occurs, do not
insert a videocassette into the player. If a videocassette is already in the
player, remove it. Turn the VCP power ON to dry the moisture before
inserting a videocassette. This could take an hour or more.
Dew sensor circuit
•Under high moisture (dewed) conditions, the tape heads and cassette
tape may be damaged if the VCP is operated.

CELL PHONE USE
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to
avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to
operate Mobile Communications Equipment.
AUXILIARY POWER POINT
Power outlets are designed for
accessory plugs only. Do not
hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not
covered by your warranty.
The auxiliary power point is located
on the instrument panel.
A second power point (if equipped)
is located behind the driver’s seat on the upper trim panel.
Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the power point.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element.
The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse
rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts,
a 15A fuse should supply a maximum of 180 Watts and a 10A fuse should
supply a maximum of 120 Watts. Exceeding these limits will result in a
blown fuse.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
