CLEANIf this message appears on the display, the
cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will
still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon
as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and
player. See "Care of Your Cassette Tape Player"
in the Index.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't
be corrected, contact your dealer.10. Care of Your Cassette Tape PlayerA tape player that is not cleaned regularly can
cause reduced sound quality, reined cassettes
or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes
should be stored in their case away from con-
taminants, direct sunlight and extreme heat. If
they aren't they may not operate properly or
may cause failure of the tape player.Your tape player should be cleaned regularly
after every 59 hours of use. Your radio may
display CLEAN to indicate that you have used
your tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still
play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as
possible to prevent damage to your tapes and
player. If you notice a reduction in sound quality,
try a known good cassette to see of it is the tape
or the tape player or fault. If this other cassette
has no improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.
The recommended cleaning method for your
cassette tape player is the use of a scrubbing
action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette with
pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of
the cleaner cassette turn. The recommended
cleaning cassette is available through your
dealer.
When cleaning the cassette tape player with the
recommended non-abrasive cleaning cassette,
it is possible that the cassette may eject, be-
cause the cut tape detection feature on your
radio may recognize it as a broken tape. To
prevent the cleaning cassette from being
ejected, use the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ON or ACC.
2. Turn the radio off.

The base of the jack should be placed
on firm, level ground. The jack should
be positioned as shown in the drawing.
D060F02E-AAT5. Raising the Car
After inserting a wrench bar into the
wheel nut wrench, install the wrench bar
into the jack as shown in the drawing.
To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut
wrench clockwise. As the jack begins
to raise the vehicle, double check that
it is properly positioned and will not slip.
If the jack is on soft ground or sand,

D060D01A-AAT3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To loosen
the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun-
terclockwise. When doing this, be sure
that the socket is seated completely
over the nut so it cannot slip off. For
maximum leverage, position the wrench
so the handle is to the left as shown in
the drawing. Then, while holding the
wrench near the end of the handle, push
down on it with steady pressure. Do not
remove the nuts at this time. Just
loosen them about one-half turn.

7. Reinstall Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs
and tighten them finger tight. The nuts
should be installed with their small di-
ameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the

If there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting sur-
face between the wheel and hub, the
wheel nuts could come loose and
cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a
wheel may result in loss of control of
the vehicle. This may cause serious
injury or death.WARNING:

The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil
filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the
drain plug by turning it counterclockwise with
a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a
drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it
drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine oil
as it may be hot enough to burn you!4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace
the drain plug using a new gasket and re-
tighten by turning it clockwise.
Oil pan drain plug tightening torque:
3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter-
clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper
size. A certain amount of oil will come out
when you remove the filter. So be sure to
have your drain pan in place underneath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions on the carton or on the filter itself.
Do not over-tighten. (Tightening torque :
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m) Be sure that the mounting
surface on the engine is clean and that the
old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate
the new gasket on the filter with clean engine
oil before installation.
7. Remove the engine oil level dipstick.
8. Refill the crankcase with the recommended
engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-
ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil using by
a funnel. Do not overfill! Engine damage
may occur if overfilled.
9. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil
is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
10.Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level.NOTE:Always dispose of used engine oil in an
environmentally acceptable manner. It is
suggested that it be placed in a sealed
container and taken to a service station for
reclamation. Do not pour the oil on the
ground or put it in with the household
trash.
