3. Normal Type:
REMOVE SHOCK ABSORBER
(a) Remove the bolt and disconnect the shock absorber from
the axle housing.
Torque: 87 N´m (887 kgf´cm, 64 ft´lbf)
(b) Use the same procedure described above to the other
side.
(c) While holding the piston rod, remove the nut, 2 retainers,
cushion and shock absorber.

DISPOSAL
1. FULLY EXTEND SHOCK ABSORBER ROD
2. Normal Type:
DRILL HOLE TO REMOVE GAS FROM CYLINDER
Using a drill, make a hole in the cylinder, as shown in the illustra-
tion to discharge the gas inside.
CAUTION:
The discharged gas is harmless, but be careful of chips
which may fly out when drilling.
3. Auto Leveler Type:
DRILL HOLE TO REMOVE GAS FROM CYLINDER
Using a drill, make a hole on the shaded area of the cylinder,
as shown in the illustration to discharge the gas inside.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the procedure in the order, the
high pressure chamber and the low pressure cham-
ber.
Wear protective goggles and cover the absorber with
a plastic bag or like when boring.
The discharged gas is harmless, but be careful of
chips which may fly out when drilling.

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system's tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In
fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange, and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear quarter window.
NOTICE
Attaching the film (especially conduc-
tive or metallic type) on the rear
quarter glass will noticeably reduce
the sensitivity of the radio.
YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
When you insert a cassette, the exposed
tape should face to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and
do not insert anything other than cas-
sette tapes into the slot, or the tape
player may be damaged.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER (type 1)
When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. (The player will
automatically eject a disc if the label side
is down.) The player will play from track
1 through the end of the disc. Then it will
play from track 1 again.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Do
not insert anything other than com-
pact discs into the slot.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm
(4.7 in.) discs only.
