Handling of Discs (audiosystem type 2) E00735901066
This explains care that should be taken in the handling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
l Fingerprints or other marks on the read
surface of the disc may result in its con-
tent being more difficult to read. When
holding the disc, grip both edges, or one edge and the centre hole, in order that
the read surface is not touched.
l Do not affix paper or stickers, or other-
wise damage the disc.
l Do not forcefully insert a disc if another
is already within the device. This can re- sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
l Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a
circular motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.
l New discs may have burring around the
outer edge or in the hole in the centre.
Ensure you check for these. If there are
burrs, these may lead to faulty operation, therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
l When not using discs, ensure these are
kept in cases, and stored out of direct
sunlight.
l If discs are not going to be used for a
long period of time, remove these from
the product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turn-ing the heater on and immediately trying to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter droplets) to form on the disc and internal optical components, and this may prevent the product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.

E01000200925
For ordinary use, there are no particular pre-cautions.
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used
with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation andprevent possible catalyst damage.CAUTIONl Damage to the catalytic converter can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operat-ing condition. In the event of an engine mal-
function particularly involving engine mis-
fire or other apparent loss of performance, have your vehicle serviced promptly.
Continued operation of your vehicle with a
severe overheated condition may result in possible damage to the converter and vehi-cle.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.
The catalytic converter itself gets hot quickly,
and may be damaged if overheated. The fol- lowing points should be noted in order to pre-vent the ignition of unburned fuel within the
catalytic converter.
