System Description
This unit displays the following items:
+Earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
+Outside air temperature.
+Caution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ``ÉF''.
+Selecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ``ÉF'' to ``ÉC''.
+When the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
+When the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
+When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ``- - -'' though it is operating. This is not a problem.
+The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The direction will be displayed.

HEADLAMP WIPER MOTOR CHECK
When wiper motor is locked, a protective circuit built into
wiper motor activates to stop wiper motor. If wiper motor will
not restart even after cause of problems has been eliminated,
turn ignition switch OFF and leave it off for approx. 1 to 3
minutes.
1. Turn headlamp wiper switch OFF.
2. Connect ohmmeter and check continuity.

Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
+Some important engine parts are tightened using an angular-
tightening method rather than a torque setting method.
+If these parts are tightened using a torque setting method, dis-
persal of the tightening force (axial bolt force) will be two or
three times that of the dispersal produced by using the correct
angular-tightening method.
+Although the torque setting values (described in this manual)
are equivalent to those used when bolts and nuts are tightened
with an angular-tightening method, they should be used for
reference only.
+To assure the satisfactory maintenance of the engine, bolts and
nuts must be tightened using an angular-tightening method.
+Before tightening the bolts and nuts, ensure that the thread and
seating surfaces are clean and then coated with engine oil.
+The bolts and nuts which require the angular-tightening method
are cylinder head bolts.
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Before applying liquid gasket, use a scraper to remove all
traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
+Be sure liquid gasket is speci®ed width (for oil pan) 3.5
to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in) for gasoline engine.
+Be sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118
in) wide in areas except oil pan for TB and RD series
engines and 2.5 to 3.5 mm (0.098 to 0.138 in) for TD
series engine.
c. Apply liquid gasket to inner surface around hole perimeter
area.
(Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.)
d. Wait at least 30 minutes before re®lling engine oil and
engine coolant.
