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.

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.
