●In the following circumstan ces, moisture can form on
discs and inside the audio system, preventing normal
operation. • When there is high humidity (for example, when it is raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.
● When the CD player is subj ected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road dr iving, the tracking may not
work.
● When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where th e temperature or humidity is
high.
● Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the centre hole. ●
To clean a disc, use a soft, cl ean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the centre hole towards the outer edge. Do not wipe
in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.
● Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.

E00801101206
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently and make
sure it is ready for emergency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pres-
sure will ensure that it can al ways be used under any conditions
(city/high-speed driving, varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored ben eath the luggage floor board of
the luggage compartment.
Compact spare wheel
The compact spare tyre is desi gned to save space in the lug-
gage compartment and its lighter weight makes it easier to use
if a flat tyre occurs.
WARNING!
● Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tyre is
raised off the ground. It is dangerous to raise the
vehicle any higher.
● Do not get under your vehi cle while using the jack.
●Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on
the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
●Do not use a jack except th e one that came with your
vehicle.
● The jack should not be us ed for any purpose other
than to change a tyre.
● No one should be in you r vehicle when using the
jack.
● Do not start or run the en gine while your vehicle is
on the jack.
● Do not turn the raised wh eel. The tyres still on the
ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the
jack.
CAUTION!
● The pressure should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is
stowed.
Driving with insufficient ty re pressure can lead to an
accident. If you have no choice but to drive with
insufficient tyre pressure , keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 8-19.)
● The compact spare wheel is for temporary use only
and should be removed as soon as the original wheel
can be repaired or replaced.
