Care and maintenance
To avoid deterioration of the tone
quality, periodically clean the tape
head with the special cleaning tape
kit available 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
unwinding and the accumulation of
dust.
If the cassette ejects during play-
back, this may be caused by bind-
ing 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
sunlight or other temperature ex-
tremes.
Radio anti-theft protection
Removal of the radio with the
vehicle anti-theft alarm armed will
render the radio inoperative indi-
cated by a dashed line across the
display.
