InspectionNBEL0007FUSENBEL0007S01IIf fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of problem
before installing new fuse.
IUse fuse of specified rating. Never use fuse of more than
specified rating.
IDo not partially install fuse; always insert it into fuse
holder properly.
IRemove fuse for ªELECTRICAL PARTS (BAT)º if vehicle is
not used for a long period of time.

FUSIBLE LINKNBEL0007S02A melted fusible link can be detected either by visual inspection or
by feeling with finger tip. If its condition is questionable, use circuit
tester or test lamp.
CAUTION:
IIf fusible link should melt, it is possible that critical circuit
(power supply or large current carrying circuit) is shorted.
In such a case, carefully check and eliminate cause of
problem.
INever wrap outside of fusible link with vinyl tape. Impor-
tant: Never let fusible link touch any other wiring harness,
vinyl or rubber parts.

CIRCUIT BREAKER (PTC THERMISTOR TYPE)NBEL0007S03The PTC thermister generates heat in response to current flow.
The temperature (and resistance) of the thermister element varies
with current flow. Excessive current flow will cause the element's
temperature to rise. When the temperature reaches a specified
level, the electrical resistance will rise sharply to control the circuit
current.
Reduced current flow will cause the element to cool. Resistance
falls accordingly and normal circuit current flow is allowed to
resume.

Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0189WARNING:
IThe xenon headlamp has a high-tension current generating area. Be extremely careful when remov-
ing and installing. Be certain to disconnect the battery negative cable prior to removing or install-
ing.
IWhen the xenon headlamp is lit, do not touch the harness (covered with red or amber insulation),
bulb itself or the bulb socket with your bare hands.
INever service a xenon headlamp with wet hands.
IWhen checking body side harness with a circuit tester, be certain to disconnect the harness con-
nector from the xenon headlamp.
IWhen the xenon headlamp is lit, the xenon bulb must be installed in the headlamp housing. (Never
turn on xenon headlamp, if the bulb is out of the headlamp housing.)
CAUTION:
Make sure to install the bulb securely; if the xenon bulb is improperly installed in its socket, high-ten-
sion current leaks occur. This may lead to a melted bulb and/or bulb socket.

IEarth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
IOutside air temperature.
ICaution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYNBEL0153S01Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ªÉFº.
ISelecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ªÉFº to ªÉCº.
IWhen the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
IWhen the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ª---º though it is operating. This is not a problem.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.

System Description=NBEL0210OPERATIVE CONDITIONNBEL0210S01The drive position can be set in 2 ways, manually and automatically.
Manual OperationNBEL0210S0101The driver's seat can be adjusted for sliding, reclining, front cushion height and rear cushion height with the
LH power seat switches. The manual operation can be adjusted with the IGN key in any position.
Automatic OperationNBEL0210S0102The driver's seat is adjusted to the proper positions for the driver automatically, in 3 different ways: MEMORY
AUTOMATIC SET, AUTOMATIC EXITING SETTING and AUTOMATIC SET RETURN. (Automatic Drive Posi-
tioner = ADP)
CONDITIONS INHIBITING AUTOMATIC OPERATIONNBEL0210S02Automatic memory setting procedures are suspended under any of the following conditions:
1) When vehicle speed is more than 7 km/h (4 MPH).
2) When driver's side power seat switch is turned on.
3) When any two of the switches (set switch and memory switches 1 and 2) are turned ON.
4) When cancel switch is turned on.
5) When selector lever is in any position other than ªPº.
6) When ignition switch is turned to ªSTARTº position.
(Operation resumes when ignition switch is returned to ªONº.)
7) When detention switch malfunction is detected:
IDetention switch failure is sensed when detention switch remains off for at least 2 seconds at a vehicle
speed of greater than 7 km/h (4 MPH).
FAIL-SAFE SYSTEMNBEL0210S03Output FailureNBEL0210S0301When the ignition switch is in the ON position, if any of the parts (indicated in the following chart) move more
than the specified amount within a period ªT2º when no ªONº input is sent from any of the switches (indicated
in the following chart), or an output from the automatic drive positioner is not produced, an output failure is
sensed. Motor operation will be suspended automatically, and all automatic operations will be ineffective. (In
this case, the motor will not operate manually.)
OPERATED PORTION T2 Allowable measurement
Seat sliding Approx. 2.5 sec. Within 6 mm (0.24 in)
Seat reclining Same as above Change angle within 1É
AbsolvingNBEL0210S0302When moving selector lever back to ªPº position after having moved it to any position except ªPº, fail-safe
operation will be canceled.
INITIALIZATIONNBEL0210S04After reconnecting battery cable, perform initialization procedure A or B. If initialization has not been performed,
automatic drive positioner will not operate.
PROCEDURE A
1) Insert key in the ignition key cylinder. (Ignition switch is in ªOFFº position.)
2) Open,close,open driver side door. (Do not perform with the door switch operation.)
3) End
PROCEDURE B
1) Drive the vehicle at more than 25 km/h (16 MPH).
2) End
