CAUTION
Install the trunk lid torsion bar before the
trunk lid torsion bar . If the sequence is
reversed, the trunk lid torsion bar will not
be able to be installed because the special tool
will interfere with the trunk lid torsion bar
during installation of the trunk lid torsion bar
.
1. Identify the LH and RH torsion bars by the colour
mark made at the centre of each torsion bar.
2. Insert the left end of the trunk lid torsion bar
in the hole in the trunk lid hinge .
3. Press portion A of the trunk lid torsion bar
right end against point A on the trunk lid hinge
as shown in View F in the drawing.
4. Twist the portion B of the trunk lid torsion bar
right end using the special tool until it is
moved from point B and pressed against point C
of the trunk lid hinge as shown in View F.
Then force the portion into point D.
5. Twist the portion A of the trunk lid torsion bar
right end until it reaches point E on the trunk
lid hinge as shown in View F.
6. Attach the trunk lid torsion bar to the trunk
lid hinge using the same method as the
trunk lid torsion bar .

HOW TO REGISTER SECRET CODEM1428001000292
Each individual secret code is registered inside the
transmitter, and so it is necessary to resister these
codes with the EEPROM inside the receiver in the
following cases.
•When the transmitter or ETACS-ECU is replaced
•If more transmitters are to be used
•If it appears that a problem is occurring because
of faulty registration of a code.
A maximum of four different codes can be stored in
the EEPROM memory (four different transmitters can
be used). When the code for the first transmitter is
registered, the previously registered codes for all
transmitters are cleared. Therefore, if you are using
four transmitters or are adding more transmitters, the
codes for all transmitters must be registered at the
same time.
