Care and maintenance
To avoid deterioration of the tone qual
ity, periodically clean the tape head
with the special cleaning tape kit avail
able at your authorized MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer.
Cassette tapes should be properly
stored when not in use. It is recom
mended that cassettes be stored in a
cassette box designed to prevent un
winding and the accumulation of dust.
If the cassette ejects during playback,
this may be caused by binding of the
tape in the cassette. To eliminate this
condition, fast forward the cassette to
the end of the track and then rewind to
the beginning of the track.
Protect cassette tapes from direct sun
light or other temperature extremes.
