Features of your vehicle
• Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.
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 cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.
Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped)
• Because the thickness of a cassette
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 having tapes being tan-
gled.
• To achieve better sound quality, period-
ically clean the tape head using a cot-
ton stick with colorless alcohol (once
per month).
• If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by
winding with objects like a pencil.
• Because dust or foreign objects on a
cassette tape may damage the play-
back head, always store tapes in their
cases when not in use.
• Make sure cassette tapes are kept
away from magnetic devices (TV,
stereo system, etc) in order to achieve
better sound quality.
• Be certain that no objects or sub-
stances other than cassette tapes are
inserted into the cassette tape player.
• Because tape media can be distorted
when exposed to direct sunlight, Do
not leave cassette tapes on the seats,
dashboard or near the back wind-
shield.

CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio
set inside the vehicle, a separate
external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You should stop at
a safe place to use a cellular phone.
