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, the tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player. Try a new tape to make sure the player is working properly. BROKEN TAPE: If this message appears on the radio display, the tape will not play because of one of the following: • The tape is broken. Try a new tape. • The tape is wrapped around the tape head. Attempt to get the cassette out. Try a new tape. CLEAN TAPE: If this message appears on the display, the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but it should be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. See Care of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-116. If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, contact your GM dealer.
