Care of Your Compact Discs

Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.

Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer 
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

Care of Your Compact Disc Player

The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.

Fixed Mast Antenna

The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, you can straighten it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, as it might be by vandals, you should
replace it.

Check every once in a while to be sure the mast is 
still tightened to the fender. If tightening is required,
tighten by hand, then with a wrench one quarter turn.

Backglass Antenna (If Equipped)

Your AM

-

FM antenna is integrated with your 

rear window defogger, located in the rear window. 
Be sure that the inside surface of the rear window is 
not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception. Also, for proper radio
reception, the antenna connector at the top

-

center of 

the rear window needs to be properly attached to the
post on the glass.

NOTICE:

Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio’s
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

Because this antenna is built into your rear window,
there is a reduced risk of damage caused by car washes
and vandals.
