ENGINE COOLING – Thermostat14-4
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ATHERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the thermostat so that the jiggle valve is facing
straight up.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that no oil is adhering to the
rubber ring of the thermostat. If the rubber ring is
damaged, replace the thermostat.
(2) When assembling the thermostat, be careful not to fold
over or scratch the rubber ring.
BRADIATOR LOWER HOSE CONNECTION
(1) Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water
inlet fitting.
(2) Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.
INSPECTION
THERMOSTAT CHECK
(1) Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value: 76.5 ± 1.5C
(2) Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard
value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 90C
Amount of valve lift: 8.5 mm or more
NOTE
Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, calculate the valve lift by subtracting this
measurement from the valve height when the thermostat
is fully open.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM – General / On-vehicle Service35A-2
GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGE
The service procedures for left-hand drive vehicles have been established as described below.
The service procedures for the front and rear disc brakes have been changed since they had been
replaced by a different type.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn up the carpet, etc under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the brake
pedal height is not within the standard value, follow the
procedure below.
Standard value: 163.5 –166.5 mm
(1) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.
(3) Secure by tightening the lock nut of the operating
rod.
(4) Push the stop lamp switch in the direction of the
pedal stroke until it stops. (The switch will slide if
it is pushed firmly.)
(5) Lift up the pedal until the operating rod is fully
extended, and then slide the stop lamp switch back
to the required position. Adjust the position of the
switch by turning it until the distance shown in the
illustration is correct.
(6) Connect the connector of the stop lamp switch.
(7) Check that the stop lamp is not illuminated with the
brake pedal unpressed.
3. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two
or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met
(the free play) is within the standard value range.
