l Do
not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/

more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed for trailer operation.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly. l
To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption. Starting and driving

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) such as those shown 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-
ing properly and you may not be able to eject
the compact disc. Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
E00725100039
l You
may have trouble playing back some
CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their record-
ing characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
l CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high tem-
peratures and high humidity than ordinary mu-
sic CDs. Leaving them inside a vehicle for ex-
tended periods may damage them and make
playback impossible. For pleasant driving
