ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BATTERY
JUMP STARTING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
WITH AUXILIARY (BOOSTER) BATTERY
Both booster and discharged battery should be treated carefully when using jumper cables. Follow procedure
outlined below, being careful not to cause sparks.
1) Set parking brake and place automatic transmission in PARK (NEUTRAL on manual transmission). Turn off
ignition, turn off lights and all other electrical loads.
2) Check electrolyte level. If it is below low level line, add distilled water.
3) Attach end of one jumper cable to positive terminal of booster battery and the other end of the same cable to
positive terminal of discharged battery. (Use 12-volt battery only to jump start engine).
4) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to negative terminal of booster battery, and the other end to
a solid engine ground (such as exhaust manifold) at least 45 cm (18 in.) away from battery of vehicle being
started.
5) Start engine of vehicle with booster battery and turn off electrical accessories. Then Start engine of the vehi-
cle with discharged battery.
6) Disconnect jumper cables in the exact reverse order.
WITH CHARGING EQUIPMENT
CAUTION:
If vehicle is manual transmission model and has a catalytic converter, do not push or tow it to start.
Damage to its emission system and/or to other parts may result.
WARNING:
Departure from these conditions or procedure described below could result in:
–Serious personal injury (particularly to eyes) or property damage from such causes as battery
explosion, battery acid, or electrical burns.
–Damage to electronic components of either vehicle.
Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry. Wear approved eye protection.
Be careful so that metal tools or jumper cables do not contact positive battery terminal (or metal in
contact with it) and any other metal on vehicle, because a short circuit could occur.
WARNING:
Do not connect negative cable directly to negative terminal of dead battery.
CAUTION:
When jump starting engine with charging equipment, be sure equipment used is 12-volt and negative
ground. Do not use 24-volt charging equipment. Using such equipment can cause serious damage to
electrical system or electronic parts.

6K-2 EXHAUST SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The exhaust system consists of an exhaust manifold, three-way catalytic converter (TWC) in catalyst case,
exhaust pipes, a muffler and seals, gasket and etc.
The three-way catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to lower the levels
of Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) pollutants in the exhaust gas.
MAINTENANCE
At every interval of periodic maintenance service, and when vehi-
cle is raised for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent
and damage.
If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified
torque.
Refer to “GENERAL DESCRIPTION”.
Check nearby body areas damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned part, open seam, hole connection or any other defect
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from underbody to avoid overheating and possible
damage to passenger compartment carpet.
Any defect should be fixed at once. WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the
exhaust system when the system is hot. Any service on
the exhaust system should be performed when the sys-
tem is cool.

6K-4 EXHAUST SYSTEM
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Refer to Section 6A1 for removal and installation procedures of exhaust manifold.
INSPECTION
Check gasket and seal for deterioration or damage.
Replace them as necessary.
EXHAUST PIPE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
For replacement of exhaust pipe, be sure to hoist vehicle and observe WARNING under “MAINTENANCE” and
the following.
Tighten bolts and nuts to specified torque when reassembling. Refer to “GENERAL DESCRIPTION” for
location of bolts and nuts.
After installation, start engine and check each joint of exhaust system for leakage. CAUTION:
Exhaust pipe have three way catalytic converter in it, it should not be exposed to any impulse.
Be careful not to drop it or hit it against something.
