CD Messages
If the CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
•It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
•You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
•The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
•The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
•There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
•The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other
reason, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot
be corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it down
and provide it to your dealer when reporting
the problem.

Care of the Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly
can cause reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes
or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes
should be stored in their cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight and extreme heat.
If they aren’t, they may not operate properly
or may cause failure of the tape player.
The tape player should be cleaned regularly after
every 50 hours of use. The radio may display
CLN to indicate that the tape player has been used
for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean
timer. If this message appears on the display, the
cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It
will still play tapes, but it should be cleaned as
soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes
and player. If there is a reduction in sound
quality, try a known good cassette to see if the
tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality,
clean the tape player.For best results, use 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.
The cut tape detection feature of the cassette tape
player may identify the cleaning cassette as a
damaged tape. 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 button for
two seconds until the radio produces
one beep. CAS will flash on the display for
five seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the
manufacturer’s recommended cleaning time.
After the cleaning cassette is ejected, the
cut tape detection feature will be active again.
202
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
will not eject on its own. A non-scrubbing action
cleaner may 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 three seconds to reset the
CLN indicator. The radio will display --- to show
the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound
quality may 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 will 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.

Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most
vehicle washes without being damaged. If the mast
should ever become slightly bent, straighten it
out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is
still tightened to the fender. If tightening is
required, tighten by hand, then with a wrench
one quarter turn.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime
level. To change the volume level of the chime,
press and hold pushbutton 6 with the ignition on
and the radio power off. The volume level will
change from the normal level to loud, and HI will
appear on the radio display. To change back to the
default or normal setting, press and hold
pushbutton 6 again. The volume level will change
from the loud level to normal, and LO will appear on
the radio display. Each time the chime volume is
changed, three chimes will sound as an example of
the new volume selected. Removing the radio and
not replacing it with a factory radio or chime module
will disable vehicle chimes.
