Part 3
INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: PRECAUTION
(a) Before removing the hose, check the clamp position so that it can be reinstalled in the same position.
(b) Replace any deformed or dented clamps with new ones.
(c) When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the clamp track portion of the hose.
(d) For a spring type clamp, you may want to spread the tabs slightly after Installation by pushing in the direction of the arrows as shown in the illustration.
11. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
(a) Install the antenna as far away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems as possible.
(b) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensor locations, refer to the section of the applicable components.
(c) Keep the antenna and feeder separate from other wiring as much as possible. This will prevent signals from the communication equipment from affecting vehicle equipment and vice versa.
(d) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(e) Do not install a high-powered mobile communication system.
12. HEADLIGHT INSPECTION MAINTENANCE
(a) for HID Headlight
(1) When the headlight dimmer switch assembly is set to HEAD, do not touch the discharge headlight's high-voltage socket area.
(b) for LED
(1) When the headlight dimmer switch assembly is set to HEAD, do not touch the LED.
(c) When the headlights are illuminated, do not cover the headlights for 3 minutes or more.
NOTICE:
* As the headlight's outer lens is made of resin, the resulting heat created when covering the headlight for an extended period of time may deform the headlight.
* When performing inspection maintenance, the discharge headlight's precautions must be followed Service Precautions.
13. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TRC (TRACTION CONTROL) SYSTEM AND VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL) SYSTEM
(a) Notices for when using a chassis dynamometer.
(1) Position the front wheels on free rollers or support the vehicle with rigid racks and make sure the front wheels can rotate freely.
(2) When testing with a speedometer tester, a combination tester for the speedometer and brake, a chassis dynamometer or similar, be sure to enter "Test mode" and prohibit the TRC and VSC controls.
(3) After completing the inspection, be sure to exit "Test mode".
NOTICE:
Never drive the vehicle while in "Test mode".
CAUTION:
* If the vehicle is tested in normal mode on the drum tester, TRC and VSC operation may cause the vehicle to jump out from the drum tester.
* When switching to TRC OFF mode, the VSC OFF switch must be held for 3 seconds or more with the vehicle stopped. TRC and VSC operation must both be turned off before beginning testing.
*
During VSC OFF mode, VSC OFF is displayed in the multi-information display, and the combination meter's VSC OFF indicator light illuminates.
* Fix the vehicle in place with chains for safety.
(b) NOTICES FOR VSC RELATED PROCEDURES
(1) For VSC related parts, adjustments are required after removal and Installation. Therefore, perform removal and Installation only when necessary.
(2) When performing VSC related procedures, be sure to strictly follow the preparation and completion procedures.
(3) When performing removal and Installation or replacement of VSC related parts, first disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
14. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If a large amount of unburned gasoline or gasoline vapors flow into the converter, it may cause overheating and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid idling the engine for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Perform the spark test and cylinder compression check only when necessary, and as quickly as possible.
(d) Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
15. INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF JOINT ANGLE DURING REMOVAL AND Installation OF PROPELLER SHAFT
(a) When performing operations which involve the removal and Installation of the propeller shaft, always check the joint angle. Make adjustments if necessary.
