Important information
Traffic safety
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic
situationatalltimes.Neveruseyourcarradio
in a way that could distract you. Should the
traffic situation become particularly deman-
ding, we would advise you not to use the
radio. Please keep in mind that you travel a
distance of 14 m per second at a speed of
only 50 km/h. When adjusting the volume,
make sure that you are still able to hear
sounds coming from outside of the vehicle,
so that you are always able to react to war-
ning signals.

Care of your audio equipment
We recommend that you use only C60/C90
cassettetapesinyour carradio.Protectyour
cassettes from dirt, dust and temperatures
exceeding 50 °C.During cold weather,allow
cold cassettes to warm up somewhat before
playing them in order to avoid uneven tape
transport. Operating problems and sound
distortions may occur after approximately
100 hours of playing time and are caused by
dust particles which adhere to the rubber
roller pad and the tape head. Use a cleaner
cassette to remove normal dirt build-up. If
moredirt than usual has accumulated, use a
cottonbuddippedinrubbingalcoholtoclean
these parts. Never use any hard tools.
