Handling of compact discs
E00723000106
l Use only
the
type of compact discs that have
the mark shown in the illustration below. Play-
back of CD-R or CD-RW discs may cause
problems. l
The use of
special shaped, damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact discs (like warped discs or burrs on the
discs) will damage the CD player. l
In the
following
circumstances, moisture can
form on discs and inside the audio system,
preventing normal operation. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, 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.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work. l
When
storing compact
discs, always store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc with-
out a label. This will damage the disc surface
and could affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by the
outer edge and the centre hole.
l To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Wipe directly from the centre hole towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc. l
Do not
use
a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc.
l Do not put additional labels (A) or stickers
(B) on compact discs. Also, do not use any
compact disc on which a label or sticker has
started to peel off or any compact disc that
has stickiness or other contamination left by
a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such
a compact disc, the CD player may stop work- For pleasant driving

jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury. WARNING
l Do not use
the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and
cause personal injury. Always use the
jack on a flat, hard surface. Before set-
ting the jack, make sure there are no
sand or pebbles under the jack base.
5. Move the jack handle up and down to raise
the ram
until just before the jack contacts the
jacking point of the vehicle. Ensure that the
jack will properly contact the vehicle jacking
point.
NOTE l This jack is a 3 stage expansion type.
6. Raise the vehicle until the tyre is slightly off the ground. WARNING
l Stop jacking
up
the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.

WARNING
l Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (I) facing outboard. If you cannot
see the valve stem, you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident. 9. Finger-tighten the
wheel
nuts. (Turn them
clockwise.)
Vehicles with steel wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (tapered nuts) until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose. With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts in
the same way.
Vehicles with aluminium wheels
Tighten the
wheel
nuts (flange nuts) until
their flange section comes in contact with the
wheel and is no longer loose. CAUTION
l
Never apply oil
to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE l Flange
nuts can
be temporarily used on the
steel wheel as shown in the illustration, but
return to the original wheel and tyre as soon
as possible. l
If all
four
aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
