noses”.
TermsBAS0007B

The captions WARNING and CAUTION warn you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal
injury and/or damage to some part of the vehicle.
WARNING indicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed.
CAUTION indicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed.
BOLD TYPED STATEMENTS except WARNING and CAUTION give you helpful information.
Standard value:Tolerance at inspection and adjustment.
Limit value:The maximum or minimum limit value that should not be exceeded at inspection and adjust-
ment.
UnitsBAS0007C

The UNITS given in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit),
and alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
Also with regard to tightening torque of bolts and nuts, there are descriptions both about range and about
the standard tightening torque.

ContentsBAS0007D

ALPHABETICAL INDEX is provided at the end of this manual so that you can rapidly find the item and
page you are searching for.

A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g. ) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find
the first page of each section by matching it to the section's black tab.

THE CONTENTS are listed on the first page of each section.

THE TITLE is indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system.

THE PAGE NUMBER of each section consists of two or three letters which designate the particular sec-
tion and a number (e.g. “BR-5”).

THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONS show the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks
of work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic tran-
saxle or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.Outer Socket Lock Nut : 59 - 78 N·m (6.0 - 8.0 kg-m, 43 - 58 ft-lb)
