9. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The LAND CRUISER is equipped with an SRS (Spplemental
Restraint System)such as the driver airbag and passenger air
bag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deployed during
servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Further, if a
mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible the SRS may
fail to operate when required. Before servicing (including re-
moval or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be
sure to read the following item carefully, then follow the correct
procedure described in the repair manual.

CHARGING
1. INSTALL CHARGING CYLINDER
HINT:
When handling the charging cylinder, always follow the direc-
tion given in the instruction manual.
(a) Charge the proper amount of refrigerant in charging cylin-
der.
(b) Connect the center hose to the charging cylinder.
CAUTION:
Do not open both high and low hand valves of manifold
gauge set.
(c) Open the valve of charging cylinder.
(d) Press the valve core on the side of manifold gauge and expel the air inside of the center hose.
2. INSPECT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve and charge refriger- ant.
(b) When the low pressure gauge indicates 98 kPa (1 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi), close the high pressure hand valve.
(c) Using leak detector, check the system for leakage.
(d) If leak is found, repair the faulty component or connection. Add evacuate air from refrigeration system (Refer to 4).
CAUTION:
Use the refrigerant recovery/ recycling machine to recover
the refrigerant whenever replacing parts.

3. CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO REFRIGERANT SYS-
TEM
If there is no leak after refrigerant leak check charge, the proper
amount of refrigerant into refrigeration system.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine when charging the system through
the high pressure side.Do not open the low pressure hand
valve when the system is being charged with liquid refrig-
erant.
(a) Open the high pressure hand valve fully.
(b) Charge specified amount of refrigerant, then close the high pressure hand valve.
HINT:
A fully charged system is indicated by the sight glass being free
of any bubbles.
4. REMOVE MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
(a) Close both hand valves of manifold gauge set.
(b) Disconnect the quick disconnect adapters from the ser- vice valves.
5. INSTALL CAPS TO SERVICE VALVES ON REFRIGER-
ANT LINES

BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspections o\
r removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1. HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They ca\
n burst if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Don’t touch the glass\
part of a bulb with bare hands.
2. SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The LAND CRUISER is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag
and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in th\
e correct sequence could cause the
SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (in\
-
cluding removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure t\
o read the precautionary notices
in the RS section.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM
If the negative (−) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 stations
stored in memory are erased, so be sure to note the stations and reset them af\
ter the negative ( −) terminal
cable is reconnected to the battery.
4. MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to \
precautions in the IN section.

AUDIO SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
1. RADIO WAVE BAND
The radio wave bands used in radio broadcasting are as follows:
LF: Low Frequency
MF: Medium Frequency
HF: High Frequency
VHF: Very High Frequency
2. SERVICE AREA
There are great dif ferences in the size of the service area for AM
and FM monaural. Sometimes FM stereo broadcasts cannot be
received even through AM can be received in very clearly.
Not only does FM stereo have the smallest service area, but it
also picks up static and other types of interference (”noise”)
easily.
3. RECEPTION PROBLEMS
Besides the problem of static, there are also the problems
called ”fading”, ”multipath” and ”fade out”. These problems \
are
caused not by electrical noise but by the nature of the radio
waves themselves.
(1) FadingBesides electrical interference, AM broadcasts are
also susceptible to other types of interference, es-
pecially at night. This is because AM radio waves
bounce off the ionosphere at night. These radio
waves then interfere with the signals from the same
transmitter that reach the vehicle’ s antenna directly.
This type of interference is called ”fading”.
