Audio System (on vehicles without navigation system)
Caring for the Tape Player The tape player picks up dirt and oxides from the tape. This contamination builds up over time and causes the sound quality to degrade. To prevent this, you should clean the player after every 30 hours of use.
Store tapes in their cases to protect them from dust and moisture. Never place tapes where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, high heat, or high humidity. If a tape is exposed to extreme heat or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before inserting it into the player.
Never try to insert a foreign object into the tape player.
If you do not clean the tape player regularly, it may eventually become impossible to remove the contamination with a normal cleaning kit.
Use 100-minute or shorter tapes. Tapes longer than that may break or jam in the drive.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning the hub with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, remove it or it could cause the tape to jam in the player. Never try to insert a warped or damaged tape in the player.
