Ford 1997 Aerostar Manual page 49

Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme
conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a
pencil into one of the holes and turning the
hub until the tape is tight.
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting cassette.
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape
player. High heat in the vehicle can cause the
cassette to warp.
