Caution
1.  Always  apply  the  brakes  when  shifting  the  select or  lever  to   ran&,  or  vehicle  will 
forward.
2.  Driving  tests  always  need  another  personnel.
NOTE
In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km (300 mile) or less], the volume air  sensor output 
is  sometimes  10   higher  than  the  standard  frequency.
The  injector  drive  time  represents  the  time  when  the  cranking  speed  is  at  250  or below when the 
supply  voltage  is  11  V.
  In  a  new  vehicle  [driven  approximately  500  km  (300   mile)  or  less],  the  injector  drive  time  is  sometimes 
  longer  than  the  standard  time.
  Fuel  is  injected  into  all  cylinders  simultaneously.
In a new vehicle [driven approximately  km (300 mile) or less], the step of the stepper mo tor is sometimes
30  steps  greater  than  the  standard  value.
  If  the  throttle  position  sensor  voltage  rises 100  from  the  voltage  when  the  engine  is  at  idle  and  th e
closed  throttle  position  switch  turns  from  on  to  of f  at  this  time,  the  sensors  are  normal.  If  the  throttle  position
sensor  voltage  rises  100 
  from  the  voltage  when  the  engine  is  at  idle,  the  t hrottle  valve  opens,  and  the
closed  throttle  position  switch  turns  from  on  to  of f  at  this,  time,  the  sensors  should  be  adjusted.
