FUNCTION
The TCU has the following control functions.
Item Details of control
Direction indicatorsSwitches the director indicators (Left, Right or All) when the combination switch or
hazard switch is operated.
Trailer direction indicator buzzer Sounds a buzzer during direction indicator operation when towing a trailer.
Light warning buzzerSounds warning buzzer when driver’s door is opened with light switch in the 1st or
2nd position and ignition switch“OFF”.
Ignition key warning buzzerSounds warning buzzer when driver’s door is opened with key in ignition and the
driver door lock knob is moved from the“unlock”position to the“lock”position.
Rear window defogger timerTurn off rear window defogger and door mirror heater, if equipped, about 15 minutes
after the rear window defogger switch is turned“ON”.
Battery saverShuts off interior lamp in 30 minutes if any door is left open when ignition switch is
“OFF”. The battery saver will reset if ignition switch is cycled or any door is opened
or closed.
Interior lamp timerKeep interior lamp illuminated for about 30 seconds when:
driver’s door is unlocked,
the ignition is switched off,
driver’s door is opened and then closed.
The timer is cancelled, and interior lamp turns off when:
driver’s door is locked, or
ignition switch is turned“ON”.

Preparation
EM-167
lWear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
lDo not put oily rags in pockets.
lAvoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
lHeavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should
not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
lFirst Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
lUse barrier creams, applying them before each work period,
to help the removal of oil from the skin.
lWash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations contain-
ing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been
removed.
lDo not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners
or solvents for cleaning skin.
lIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without
delay.
lWhere practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
lWhere there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in
addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating
system must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pol-
lution for small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt check
with the appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the
approved appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local author-
ity for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into water courses.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the environment
will vary between regions.
Precautions for Fuel
GASOLINE ENGINE:
Unleaded gasoline of at least 95 octane (RON)
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the catalytic converter.
DIESEL ENGINE*:
Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or win-
ter fuel properly according to the following temperature con-
ditions.
lAbove þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
lBelow þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
