Subaru Outback (BR): Precautions to observe when handling a compact disc
Use only compact discs (CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs) that have the mark shown in the following illustration. Also, some compact discs cannot be played.
● You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD player. If you insert a DualDisc into the player, the disc may not come out again, possibly causing the player to malfunction.
● In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can form inside the CD player, preventing normal operation. If this happens, eject the CD and wait for the player to dry out.
● Skipping may occur when the CD player is subjected to severe vibration (for example, when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface).
● To remove a disc from the case, press the center of the case and hold both edges of the disc. If the disc surface is touched directly, contamination could cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the disc surface.
● Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are deposits, wipe the disc surface from the center outward with a dry, soft cloth. Be sure not to use a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc.
● Do not use any disc that is scratched, deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use any disc that has a non-standard shape (for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions or problems might result.
● A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never keep it either in places exposed to direct sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles parked in the sun or on hot days.
● Insert discs one by one into the CD player.

WARNING
Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires
to deform severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increase in temperature could
cause tread separation, and destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of vehicle
control could lead to an accident.
