When cleaning the cassette tape player with the
recommended non-abrasive cleaning cassette,
it is possible that the cassette might eject, because
the cut tape detection feature on the radio can
recognize it as a broken tape, in error. To prevent
the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use
the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the TAPE DISC button for
five seconds. READY displays and the
cassette symbol flashes for five seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the
manufacturer’s recommended cleaning time.
When the cleaning cassette has been ejected,
the cut tape detection feature activates again.
A non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which
uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape
head can be used. This type of cleaning cassette
does not eject on its own. A non-scrubbing
action cleaner might not clean as thoroughly
as the scrubbing type cleaner. The use of a
non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning cassette
is not recommended.After the player is cleaned, press and hold the
eject button for five seconds to reset the CLEAN
indicator. The radio displays --- or CLEANED
to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound
quality can degrade over time. Always make sure
the cassette tape is in good condition before
the tape player is serviced.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is
damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched,
the CD does not play properly or not at all. If the
surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth
or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it.
Make sure the wiping process starts from the center
to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling
it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole
and the outer edge.

Spare Tire
Your vehicle, when new, had a fully inflated
spare tire. A spare tire may lose air over time,
so check its inflation pressure regularly. See
In ation - Tire Pressure on page 354andLoading
Your Vehicle on page 261for information regarding
proper tire inflation and loading your vehicle. For
instructions on how to remove, install or store a
spare tire, seeRemoving the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire on page 370andStoring a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools on page 380.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire
than the road tires originally installed on your
vehicle. This spare tire was developed for use
on your vehicle, so it is all right to drive on it.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle,
you should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare tire is correctly inflated. Have
the damaged or flat road tire repaired or
replaced as soon as you can and installed
back onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire
will be available in case you need it again.Do not mix tires and wheels of different sizes,
because they will not fit. Keep your spare tire and
its wheel together. If your vehicle has a spare
tire that does not match your vehicle’s original road
tires and wheels in size and type, do not include
the spare tire in the tire rotation.
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes
of heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
