Error code [NO DISC] is shown on the
radio after CD play button is pressed.1. Magazine setting
2. Magazine
3. Changer1. Con®rm the magazine is pushed completely.
2. Inspect magazine.
(Refer to testing magazines and discs.)
3. Remove the changer for repair.
Testing magazines and discs
1. Con®rm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, ®ngerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
+Discs which are marginally out of speci®cation (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.

Dispose of used oil and used oil ®lters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the environment
will vary from country to country.
Precautions for Fuel
GASOLINE ENGINE:
Three way catalyst equipped models ... unleaded gasoline of at
least 91 octane (RON)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Except for the above models ... unleaded or leaded gasoline of
above 88 octane (RON)
Use unleaded fuel if instructed on the fuel ®ller lid.
DIESEL ENGINE*:
Diesel fuel of above 45 cetane for TD42 engine and above 50 cet-
ane for RD28ET engine
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter
fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
+Above þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
+Below þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
+Do not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate
fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
+Do not use summer fuel at temperature below þ7ÉC (20ÉF).
The cold temperature will cause wax to form in the fuel. As
a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.
+Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Air Conditioning
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA section (``HFC-
134a (R-134a) Service Procedure'', ``SERVICE PROCEDURES'')
for speci®c instructions.
