(Continued)
• Before touching the fuel noz-
zle or fuel filler cap, you
should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching anoth-
er metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. Do not touch, rub or slide
against any item or fabric
(polyester,satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors resulting in explosion.
If you must re-enter the vehi-
cle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When using a portable fuel
container be sure to place the
container on the ground prior
to refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehi-
cle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use
only portable fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
• Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic
interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If
you must use your cellular
phone, use it in a place away
from the gas station.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling
is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and
door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
• Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-
arette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.

To use a sunvisor, pull it downward.To use a sunvisor for a side window,
pull it downward, unsnap it from the
bracket (

To use the vanity mirror, pull down
the visor and pull up the mirror cover
(driver’s side) (

Power socket (if equipped)
The power outlets are designed to
provide power for mobile telephones
or other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 10
amps with the engine running.

CAUTION
Close the vanity mirror cover
(driver’s side) securely and
return the sunvisor to its original
position after use. If the vanity
mirror is not closed securely, the
lamp (if equipped) will stay on
and could result in battery dis-
charge and possible sunvisor
damage.1LDN2151

Using a cellular phone or a
two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong
with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a
place as far as possible from the
audio equipment.
Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped)
• Because the thickness of a
sette tape with the total playback
time of over 60 minutes (C-60) are
too thin, we suggest that you do
not use any of them to avoid hav-
ing tapes being tangled.
• To achieve better sound qu
periodically clean the tape head
using a cotton stick with colorless
alcohol (once per month).
• If a tape is too loose, fasten
reel by winding with objects like a
pencil.
• Because dust or foreign objec
a cassette tape may damage the
playback head, always store tapes
in their cases when not in use.
• Make sure cassette tapes are
away from magnetic devices (TV,
stereo system, etc) in order to
achieve better sound quality.
• Be certain that no objects or
stances other than cassette tapes
are inserted into the cassette tape
player.• Because tape media can be
torted when exposed to direct sun-
light, Do not leave cassette tapes
on the seats, dashboard or near
the back windshield.
WARNING - Cellular
phones
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. The driver must
stop at a safe place to use a cel-
lular phone.
