(The timer expires if the front door
opened when the timer is in operation).
The power window main switch contains a
one-touch down switch that will automatically
open the driver's side door window only.

Iridium plugs are used. Use care not to damage the iridium
tips of the plugs. Do not adjust the spark plug gap.
1. Spark plugs must spark properly to assure proper engine
performance and reduce exhaust emission level. Therefore,
they should be replaced periodically with new ones( Refer to
Maintainence Schedule).
Spark plug type
2. The new plugs should be checked for the proper gap.
Spark plug gap: 1.0

1. After warming up the engine, remove the oil filler cap.
2. Remove the drain plug to allow the engine oil to drain.
3. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the
direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the drain
plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39
5 Nm (29 3 ft-lb)
4. Pour new engine oil in through the oil filler hole.
Specified Engine Oil:
To ta l q u a n t i t y :
<3.8L Engine> 4.6 Litres
5. Install the engine oil filler cap.
6. Start the engine and run it at idle for a few minutes.
7. Pull out the oil dipstick slowly and check that the oil level is
within the marks on the oil dipstick.
8. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no
coolant or petrol mixed in, and that it has sufficient viscosity.
10. ENGINE OIL FILTER (REPLACE)M1001002700345
The quality of replacement filters varies considerably. Only high
quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service.
Genuine oil filters require that the filter is capable of withstand-
ing a pressure of 1,800 kPa (261 psi) are high quality filters.
