INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
.A(STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION
To center the clock spring, line up the “NEUTRAL” markof the clock spring with the mating mark.
CautionIf the clock spring’s mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be completely
rotational during a turn, or the flat cable within the
clock spring may be severed, obstructing normal op-eration of the SRS and possibly leading to serious
injury to the vehicle’s driver.
INSPECTION
(1) Remove the knee protector and the column cover. (Refer
(2)
to GROUP 52A - Instrument Panel.)
Disconnect the column switch left connector (16 terminals)
and check the continuity between the terminals for each
switch.
LIGHTING SWITCH CHECK
Operate the switch and check the continuity between the termi-
nals.

NOTE
About FM waves:
FM waves have the same properties as light, and
can be deflected and blocked. Wave reception isnot possible in the shadow of obstructions such
as buildings or mountains.
1.The signal becomes weak as the distance from
the station’s transmission antenna increases.
Although this may vary according to the signal
strength of the transmitting station and interven-ing geographical formations or buildings, the
area of good reception is approx.
20-25 km
(12-l 6 miles) for stereo reception, and 30-40km (19-25 miles) for monaural reception.
2. The signal becomes weak. when an area of
shadow from the transmitting antenna (places
where there are obstructions such as mountains

or buildings between the antenna and.the car),
and noise will appear. and gives a steady buzzing noise.>
If a direct signal hits the antenna at the same
time as a signal reflected by obstructions such
as mountains or buildings, interference of the
two signals will generate noise. During traveling,
noise will appear each time the vehicle’s anten-
na passes through this kind of obstructed area.The strength and interval of the noise varies
according to the signal strength and the condi-tions of deflection.

has a weaker field than monaural, it is often
accompanied by a hissing noise.FM Broadcast Good Reception Areas

The following factors can be considered as possible
causes of noise appearing at night.1. Factors due to signal conditions: Due to the
fact that long-distance signals are more easily
received at night, even stations that are received
without problem during the day may experience
interference in a general worsening of reception
conditions. The weaker a station is the more
susceptible it is to interference, and a changeto a different station or the appearance of a
beating sound* may occur.
Beat sound*: Two signals close in frequency
interfere with each other, creating a repetitious
high-pitched sound. This sound is generated
not only by sound signals but by electrical waves
as well.
2.Factors due to vehicle noise: Generator noisemay be a cause.
