Care and m aintenance
To avoid deterioration of the tone qual­

with the special cleaning tape kit avail­

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.
ON OFF
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 tem perature extremes.
Radio anti-theft protection
Removal of the radio with the vehicle
anti-theft alarm armed will render the
radio inoperative indicated by a dashed
