CAUTION:
Adjust laser beam aiming at a horizontal place as far as 12 m (39 ft) forward the vehicle can be
seen.
Adjust laser beam aiming 5 seconds after starting engine.
Never view ICC sensor integrated unit body window directly during laser beam aiming adjustment.
Follow the CONSULT-II when adjusting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-II).
Never ride on vehicle during laser beam aiming adjustment.
Idle and turn headlamps OFF during laser beam aiming adjustment.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The A/T fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. Remove the front propeller shaft from vehicle (with AWD models). Refer to PR-5, "
Removal and Installa-
tion" .
4. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and
install the oil pressure gauge [ST2505S001(J-34301-C)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.
5. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
6. Start the engine, then measure the line pressure at both idle and
the stall speed.
CAUTION:
Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.
When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed,
refer to AT- 5 3 , "
STALL TEST" .
7. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure
detection plug and tighten to the specified torque.

5. Remove mounting nuts from low-pressure pipe and high-pres-
sure flexible hose.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of low-pressure pipe and high-pres-
sure flexible hose with suitable material such as vinyl tape
to avoid the entry of air.
6. Remove A/C compressor belt. Refer to EM-174, "
DRIVE BELTS" .
7. Disconnect compressor (magnet clutch and ECV) connectors.
8. Remove mounting bolts from compressor, using power tools.
9. Remove compressor downward of the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose, low-pressure pipe (VK45DE) and high-pressure
flexible hose with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System FunctionsNKS00489
Here is an example of functions. For details, refer to the owner's manual or navigation system owner's manual.
AUDIO
Speed Sensitive Volume (for BASE System)
Volume level of this system gone up and down automatically in proportion to the vehicle speed. And the
control level can be selected by the customer.
The audio unit inputs the vehicle signal that is sent from unified meter and A/C amp via CAN communica-
tion through AV (NAVI) control unit.
Precision Phased Audio (for BASE System)
It plays back the sound using the woofer (ultra-low bass and clear midrange sound) and reproduces the
sound with presence.
When the conventional BASS/TREBLE adjustment is a maximum, the sounds might be unclear because
the volume of midrange sound also rises together with the bass and treble. The precision phased audio
can emphasize ultra-low bass and ultra-high treble without changing the midrange sound by digital pro-
cessing using DSP.
NOTE:
When the radio is played, the noise may increase more than the presence due to the characteristics of
broadcasting waves. Therefore, the amplification rate while playing the radio is controlled lower than the
rate while playing CD.
AudioPilot® (for BOSE System)
AudioPilot® is the sound improving system that picks up any noises and the sound of music coming into the
vehicle by a microphone under the steering, and that the BOSE amp revises the frequency feature of music at
real time in response to the frequency feature of the noise while driving and listening to music.
If low frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts low frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.
If high frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts all frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.
Centerpoint® (for BOSE Surround 5.1ch System)
CD and 2.0ch DVD stereo sound played at audio unit and DVD player are subjected to signal processing in
BOSE amp. It can play the surround sound with presence.
VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM
The status of audio, climate control system, fuel consumption, and navigation system (if equipped) are
displayed.
AV (NAVI) control unit receives the data signal from ECM, unified meter and A/C amp and low tire pres-
sure warning control unit via CAN communication. It calculates the values of fuel economy, tire pressure,
and trip computer from the received information and displays them.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:
Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor
Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)
Direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and

Steering Angle Adjustment
The steering angle output value detected with the gyroscope can be
adjusted.
Speed Calibration
Usually the automatic distance correction function adjusts the mal-
function in distance caused by the tires wearing down or the tire
pressure change. If prompt adjustment is necessary when the tire
chains are installed etc., perform this procedure.
ERROR HISTORY
The diagnostic results of “Self-diagnosis” determine if any malfunction occurred between selecting “Self-diag-
nosis” and displaying “Self-diagnostic Results”.
If an error occurred before the ignition switch was turned ON and does not occur again until “Self-diagnosis” is
completed, the trouble diagnosis result will be judged normal. Therefore, errors in the past which cannot be
found by “Self-diagnosis”, must be found by checking the “Error record”.
The error history shows the error occurrence frequency in past. The frequency of occurrence is displayed by 2
types: the count down type and the count up type. Select either type according to the error item.
In “Error History” of models with NAVI, time and place that the selected error last occurred are displayed. Be
careful about the following.
If there is a malfunction with the GPS antenna circuit board in the NAVI control unit, the correct date of
occurrence may not be able to be displayed.
Place of the error occurrence is represented by the position of the current location mark at the time an
error occurred. If current location mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of the error
occurrence cannot be located correctly.

The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and
indicated on the screen as a vehicle mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle posi-
tion detection results found by the GPS with the result by map-matching.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.
Travel distance
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed
sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation may become
incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic
distance correction function has been adopted.
Travel direction
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a
gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS antenna (GPS
information). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
