When Using Floor Jack
WARNING! 
If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front 
or rear end, be sure to block the wheels on 
ground in order to ensure safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to 
support it on stands. It is extremely 
dangerous to do any work on the vehicle 
raised on jack alone.
 
CAUTION! 
• Never apply jack against rear suspension parts (i.e., stabilizer, etc.) or vehicle floor, 
or it may get deformed.
• When jacking up the front end, be sure to  use an air type floor jack with the following 
specified height or a manual type floor jack 
of the following size.  Otherwise, the jack 
may cause the bumper or vehicle body 
panel a damage.
 
Jack size
Height “h”: under 145 mm (under 5.71 in.)
Length “l”: above 900 mm (above 35.4 in.) In raising front or rear vehicl
e end off the floor by jacking, 
be sure to put the jack a gainst front suspension frame 
(1) or rear jacking bracket (2).
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end 
jacked up, be sure to place safety stands (1) under body 
mounting stay (2) so that vehicle body is securely 
supported. And then check to ensure that body mounting 
stay (2) does not slide on safety stands (1) and the 
vehicle is held stable for safety’s sake.

Generator Control System DescriptionS7RS0B1101010
Generator Control System consists of a generator (1), electric load current sensor (7) located in the main fuse box (4) 
and ECM (5).
ECM controls generated electricity (adjusting  voltage of IC regulator (2)) so that it is suitable for the engine and electric 
load conditions. When the electric load increases quickly,  generation load of the generator increases quickly and 
causes idling to change. To  prevent this, ECM makes generated electricity volume vary gradually  to stabilize idling. 
Also, it reduces the engine load caused by temporary incr ease in electricity generation to cope with the engine 
condition (such as when accelerating).
Operation
ECM controls the generated voltage of the generator using “C” terminal (generator control terminal) duty, based on 
following information.
• Engine condition (ECT, vehicle speed, engine speed, TP, etc.) (9)
• Battery voltage (ECM backup power voltage) (10)
• Electric load condition (blower motor, rear defogger, head lights, radiator fan, A/C, etc.) (11)
• “FR” terminal output (field coil (3) cont rol duty) which indicates the operation rate  (electricity generation condition) of 
the generator.
Then the generator uses “C” terminal duty to regulate the adju sting voltage of the IC regulator with the field coil control 
duty so as to control its generated voltage (“B” terminal output voltage).
(For more information of the generated voltage, refer  to “Charging System Specifications in Section 1J”.)
Furthermore, the generation condition of the generator is co ntrolled to the optimum level by the electric load current 
sensor (7) which detects the electrical load condition (cur rent consumption) linearly even when a sudden electrical 
load variation occurs and thus the engine load is reduced.
