Cassette Tape Messages If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it could be for one of the following reasons: TIGHT TAPE: When this message is displayed, the tape is tight and the player can'tturn the tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is working properly. BROKEN TAPE: If this message is displayed, the tape is broken. Try a new tape. WRAPPED: When this message is displayed, the tape is wrapped around the tape head. Attempt to get the cassette out. Try a new tape. CLEAN PLAYR (Clean Player): This message may also appear on the radio display to indicate that the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. For additional information see Care of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-65. A (Eject): Press this button, located next to the cassette tape slot, to eject a tape. Eject may be activated with either the ignition or radio off.

If your radio displays an error message, write it down and provide it to your dealer when reporting the problem. 3-62
