BUILT-IN INDICATOR (IF EQUIPPED)
The battery has a built-in temperature compensated indicator in
the top of the battery. This indicator is to be used with the follow-
ing diagnostic procedure. When checking the indicator, make
sure that the battery has a clean top. A light may be needed in
some poorly-lit areas.
Three types of indication which is available under normal opera-
tion are as follows.
Green Dot
Battery is sufficiently charged for testing.
Dark
Battery must be charged before testing.
If there is a cranking complaint, battery should be tested as
described in Diagnosis section. Charging and electrical sys-
tems should also be checked at this time.
Clear or Light Yellow
This means that fluid level is below the bottom of hydrome-
ter. Its possible cause is excessive or prolonged charging, a
broken case, excessive tipping or normal battery deteriora-
tion.
When the battery is found in such condition, it is possible
that high charging voltage is caused by the faulty charging
system and therefore, charging and electrical systems need
to be checked. If there is a trouble in cranking and its cause
lies in the battery, it should be replaced.
CARE OF BATTERY
1) The battery is a very reliable component, but needs periodi-
cal attentions.
Keep the battery carrier clean.
Prevent rust formation on the terminal posts.
Keep the electrolyte up to the upper level uniformly in all
cells. WARNING:
Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark
because of battery generate gas which is flammable
and explosive.
Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics,
or painted surfaces as fluid is a corrosive acid. Flush
any contacted area with water immediately and thor-
oughly.
Batteries should always be kept out of reach of chil-
dren.

General Description
The exhaust system of this vehicle consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust center pipe, muffler, seals, etc.
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to lower the level of Hydro-
carbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) pollutants in the exhaust gas. The catalyst
in the catalytic converter is of “Three way” type.
Maintenance
At every interval of periodic maintenance service, and when vehicle is raised for other service, check exhaust
system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration and out of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent and damage.
If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified torque. Refer to “Components” in this section.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or mispositioned part, open seam, hole, loose connection
or any other defect which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from underbody to avoid overheating
and possible damage to passenger compartment carpet.
Any defect should be fixed at once. NOTE:
Whether following parts are used in the particular vehicle or not depends on specification. Be sure to
bear this in mind when performing service work.
Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
CAUTION:
Be sure to use UNLEADED FUEL for the catalytic converter equipped vehicle. Use of LEADED FUEL
will affect performance of the catalytic converter adversely to a great extent.
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust system when system is hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be performed when system is cool.
