. You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD player. If you insert a DualDisc into the player, the disc may not come out again, possibly causing the player to malfunction. . In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can form inside the CD player, preventing normal operation. this happens, eject the CD and wait for the player to dry out. . Skipping may occur when the CD player is subjected to severe vibration (for example, when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface). . To remove a disc from the case, press the center of the case and hold both edges of the disc. If the disc surface is touched directly, contamination could cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the disc surface. . Use a clean disc whenever possible. If

Audio 5-31

there are deposits, wipe the disc surface from the center outward with a dry, soft cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. . Do not use any disc that is scratched, deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use any disc that has a non-standard shape (for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions or problems might result. . A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never keep it either in places exposed to direct sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles parked in the sun or on hot days.

. Use of an electric appliance in the accessory power outlet for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge.

. Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appliance will not interfere with your shifting gears and operating the accel- erator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.

Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is available at any of the outlets when the ignition switch is either in the “Acc” or “ON” position. You can use an in-vehicle use electrical appliance by connecting it to an outlet. When both outlets are used at the same time, the total power consumption of the electric appliances must be 120W or less.

CAUTION

. Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory power outlet.

. Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory power outlet. That could cause a short circuit. Al- ways put the cap on the acces- sory power outlet when it is not in use.

. Use only electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC and which consume less than 120W. Overloading the accessory power outlet can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adap- ters or more than one electrical appliance.
