Test  conditions/procedure
1. All  of  the  following  conditions  should  be  satisfied   when  the  drive  test  is  carried out.
(1)  Engine  coolant  temperature: 
  or  higher  (when  engine  is 
(2)  Outside  air  temperature:   or  higher

2.  Carry  out  one  trip  monitoring  according  to  the  f ollowing  drive  pattern  (from  starting  of   engine
until  ignition  is  turned  off).  (Takes  approximately   10  minutes.)’
  the  engine  is  fully  warmed  up,  turn  the  ignition  s witch  to  OFF.

[After  the  first  monitoring  (deceleration),  an  inte rval  of  20  seconds  or  more  is  necessary  before
the  next  monitoring  (deceleration)  is  made.]
Repeat  steps
