For 1990-2009 cars only
For the best operation of the cassette tape player, do not use cassette tapes that are longer than 90 minutes in playback time (45 minutes per side). Cassette tapes that are longer than 90 minutes may cause tape slippage or jamming.
| • | Access the head and the capstan through the tape door with the tape player in the vehicle. |
| • | Clean the head and the capstan every 50 hours of operation. |
| • | Use a cotton swab dipped in ordinary alcohol in order to clean the head and the capstan. |
| • | Do not contact the tape head with magnetized tools. Cassette sound quality will degrade if you magnetize the head. |
Purchase a cleaning cassette kit as an alternate way to clean the head and the capstan. Follow the instructions included with the kit in order to clean the tape player.
Do not perform any service on tapes. Cassette manufacturers warrant cassette tapes, not the dealer.
Store cassettes in their original containers away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
