EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is acti-
vated), and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the illumination lamps are
turned off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

Checking Drive BeltsELS001PG
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly (inlet) when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
“A” (between three line notches) as shown.
NOTE:

Check the auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

When the new drive belt is installed, the range should be “A” as shown.

The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt. Refer to EM-13,
"DRIVE BELTS" .
DRIVE BELT TENSION
There is no manual drive belt tension adjustment. The drive belt tension is automatically adjusted by the auto
tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantELS001PH
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, never change the coolant when the engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around the cap to carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter of a
turn to release any built-up pressure, then push down and turn the cap all the way to remove it.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature control lever all the way to HOT position or the highest tem-
perature position. Wait 10 seconds and turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.

3. Open the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, and
remove the radiator filler cap. This is the only step required
when partially draining the cooling system (radiator only).
CAUTION:
Do not to allow the coolant to contact the drive belts.
4. When draining all of the coolant in the system for engine removal or repair, it is necessary to drain the cylinder block.
Remove the RH cylinder block drain plug to drain the right bank
and the oil cooler hose to drain the left bank as shown.
5. Remove the reservoir tank to drain the engine coolant, then clean the reservoir tank before installing it.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If the coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-15, "
FLUSHING COOLING
SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Close the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank, cylinder block drain plug, and the oil cooler hose, ifremoved for a total system drain or for engine removal or repair.

The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and water.

Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance Thread
Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
2. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
3. Remove the vented reservoir cap and replace it with a non-vented reservoir cap before filling the cooling system.

2. Apply clean engine oil to the oil filter seal circumference of the
new oil filter.
3. Screw the oil filter manually until it touches the installation sur- face, then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
4. Inspect the engine for oil leaks. Refer to MA-18, "
INSPECTION
AFTER INSTALLATION" .
5. Install the engine front undercover using power tool.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the oil level using the dipstick as shown. Add oil as nec- essary.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with oil.
2. Start the engine and check for engine oil leaks.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and add engine oil as required.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-28, "IGNITION COIL" .
2. Remove the spark plug(s) using a suitable tool.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.

If the spark plug tip is covered with carbon, a spark plug cleaner may be used.

Checking and adjusting the spark plug gap is not required
between change intervals.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.

The hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with the standard type spark plug under conditions
such as:
–Frequent engine starts
–Low ambient temperatures

The cold type spark plug is suitable when spark knock occurs with the standard type spark plug under
conditions such as:
–Extended highway driving
–Frequent high engine revolution
