PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)M1001011600056
1. Items to review when servicing SRS:
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B, Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all
warnings.
(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cable before doing any further
work. The SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even
after the battery has been disconnected.
Serious injury may result from unintended air
bag deployment if work is done on the SRS
system immediately after the battery cable is
disconnected.
(3) Warning labels must be heeded when
servicing or handling SRS components.
Warning labels can be found in the following
locations.
Front impact sensor
Hood
Sun visor
Instrument panel (passenger ’s side)
SRS-ECU
Steering wheel
Clock spring
Air bag module (Driver's or front
passenger's)
Side-airbag module (Driver's side or front
passenger's side)
Side impact sensor
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(4) Always use the designated special tools and
test equipment.(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a
clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.
(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.
(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check
the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing
of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag (Refer to GROUP
52B, Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
P.52B-254).
2. Observe the following when carrying out
operations on places where SRS components are
installed, including operations not directly related
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not allow
any impact or shock to occur to the SRS
components.
(2) If heat damage may occur during paint work,
remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module,
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL00-34
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCEM1001001200336
Maintenance and lubrication service recommenda-
tions have been compiled to provide maximum pro-
tection for the vehicle owner's investment against all
reasonable types of driving conditions. Since these
conditions vary with the individual vehicle owner's
driving habits, the area in which the vehicle is oper-
ated and the type of driving to which the vehicle is
subjected, it is necessary to prescribe lubrication and
maintenance service on a time frequency as well as
mileage interval basis.
Oils, lubricants and greases are classified and
graded according to standards recommended by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Aus-
tralian Petroleum Institute (API).
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
For Information on service maintenance refer to the
"Service handbook".
ENGINE OIL
Tests have shown that laboratory animals
develop skin cancer after prolonged contact with
used engine oil. Accordingly, the potential exists
for humans to develop a number of skin disor-
ders, including cancer, from such exposure to
used engine oil. Therefore, when changing
engine oil, be careful not to touch it as much as
possible. Protective clothing and gloves, that
cannot be penetrated by oil, should be worn. The
skin should be thoroughly washed with soap and
water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove
any used engine oil. Do not use petrol, thinners,
or solvents.Either of the following engine oils should be used:
1. Engine oil conforming to the ACEA classification:
"For service A1, A2 or A3.
2. Engine oil conforming to the API classification:
"For service SG" or higher.
FUEL USAGE STATEMENT
Using leaded petrol in this car will damage the
catalytic converters and heated oxygen sensors,
and affect the warranty coverage validity.
This vehicle must use unleaded petrol only.
This vehicle has a fuel filler tube which is especially
designed to accept only the smaller-diameter
unleaded petrol dispensing nozzle.
The 3.8L model is designed to operate on unleaded
petrol having an octane rating (DIN 51607) of 90
RON or higher.
.
PETROL CONTAINING ALCOHOL
Some petrol sold at service stations contain alcohol
although they may not be so identified.
Using fuels containing alcohol is not recommended
unless the nature of the blend can be determined as
being satisfactory, as follows.
Gasohol: A mixture of 10% ethanol and 90%
unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle. If
driveability problems are experienced as a result of
using gasohol, it is recommended that the vehicle be
operated on petrol.
Methanol: Do not use petrol containing methanol
(wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol can result
in vehicle performance deterioration and damage
critical parts in the fuel system components. Fuel
system damage and performance problems resulting
from the use of petrol containing methanol may not
be covered by the new vehicle warranty.
MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents
should be avoided. Many materials intended for gum
and varnish removal may contain highly active sol-
vents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to
gasket and diaphragm materials used in fuel system
component parts.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-37
ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003600067
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.The diagnostic tool activates the following actuators
for testing. (Refer to P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the FL, FR, RL or
RR Wheel ABS Drive testing items (No.01 to 04) used only for the ABS also appear. MUT-III
