1. Before installing the steering wheel, make sure the front wheels are aligned straight ahead, then center
the cable reel (A). Do this by first rotating the cable
reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it
counterclockwise about three full turns. The arrow
mark (B) on the cable reel label should point
straight up.
2. Position the two tabs (A) of the turn signal canceling sleeve (B) as shown. Install the steering
wheel on to the steering column shaft, making sure
the steering wheel hub (C) engages the pins (D) of
the cable reel and tabs of the turn signal canceling
sleeve. Do not tap on the steering wheel or steering
column shaft when installing the steering wheel. 3. Install the steering wheel bolt (A), and tighten it to
the specified torque. Connect the cable reel
subharness connector (B). Make sure the wire
harness is routed and fastened properly.
4. Install the driver’s airbag, and confirm that the system is operating properly (see page 24-188).
5. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see page 22-68), and do these tasks:
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds
and then goes off.
Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
6. After installation, check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the steering spoke angles to the right and
left are not equal (steering wheel is not centered),
correct the engagement of the wheel/column shaft
serrations.

1. Turn the brake pedal position switch (A) counterclockwise, and pull it back until it is no
longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Pull back the carpet, and find the cutout in the insulation. Measure the pedal height (B) at the
middle of the left side center of the pedal pad (C) to
the floor without the insulation. 3. Loosen the pushrod locknut (A), and screw the
pushrod (B) in or out with pliers until the standard
pedal height from the floor is reached. After
adjustment, tighten the locknut firmly. Do not
adjust the pedal height with the pushrod pressed.
4. Lift up on the brake pedal by hand. Push in the brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully
pressed (threaded end (A) touching the pad (B) on
the pedal arm). Turn the switch 45 ° clockwise to
lock it. The gap between the brake pedal position
switch and the pad is automatically adjusted to

14. Rotate the caliper piston (A) clockwise into the
cylinder, then align the cutout (B) in the piston with
the tab (C) on the inner pad by turning the piston
back. Lubricate the boot with rubber grease to
avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot is
twisted, back it out so it is positioned properly.
NOTE: Be careful when moving the piston back in
the caliper; brake fluid might overflow from the
master cylinder’s reservoir. If brake fluid gets on
any painted surface, wash it off immediately with
water.
15. Install the caliper. Install the flange bolts (D), and tighten it to the specified torque while holding the
respective caliper pin with a wrench being careful
not to damage the pin boots.
16. Install the brake hose mounting bolt (E).
17. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the rear
wheels. 18. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work.
NOTE: Engagement may require a greater pedal
stroke immediately after the brake pads have been
replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake
pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.
19. Add brake fluid as needed.
20. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
Test-drive the vehicle, then recheck for leaks
(see page 19-37).
