A: CAUTION
•Before disassembling or reassembling parts, al-
ways disconnect the battery ground cable from bat-
tery.
•When replacing the audio, control module and
other parts provided with memory functions, record
the memory contents before disconnecting the bat-
tery ground cable. Otherwise, the memory is
cleared.
•Reassemble the parts in the reverse order of dis-
assembly procedure unless otherwise indicated.

ENTERTAINMENT
14.Antenna
A: INSPECTION
Measure the resistance between the antenna ter-
minal and each antenna wire.
If an antenna wire is OK, resistance will be less
than 1 Ω. If an antenna wire is broken, resistance
will be more than 1 MΩ.
NOTE:
When checking the continuity, wind a piece of alu-
minum foil around the tip of tester probe and press
foil against the antenna wire with your finger.
To locate the broken point, move the probe along
antenna wire.
B: REPAIR
1) Clean the antenna wire and surrounding area
with a cloth dampened by alcohol.
2) Paste a thin masking film on the glass along bro-
ken wire.
3) Apply the conductive silver composition (DU-
PONT No. 4817) on the broken portion with a draw-
ing pen.
4) Dry out the deposited portion.
5) After repair has been completed, measure the
resistance in repaired wire.

5) Connect the tester probe of positive lead of volt-
meter to positive terminal of heat wire and move
tester probe of negative lead along the heat wire up
to the negative terminal end. If voltage changes
from zero to several volts during movement of
tester probe, heat wire is open at the voltage
change point.
B: REPAIR
1) Clean the broken portion with alcohol or white
gasoline.
2) Mask both side of wire with thin film.
3) Apply the conductive silver composition (DU-
PONT No. 4817) to the broken portion.
4) After repair, check the wire.

A: REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct.
3) Remove the engine front cover.
4) Disengage the three clips, and then turn over the
mud guard.
5) Remove the three bolts securing the headlight
assembly from the lower side of vehicle.
6) Remove the two bolts and then remove the
headlight assembly.

C: ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT AIMING
NOTE:
Aiming of this headlight can be adjusted only in the
vertical direction. It cannot be adjusted in the hori-
zontal direction.
CAUTION:
Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight
beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the
beam level, do not turn on the lamp for more
than two minutes.
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure
of the following:
•Check the area around the headlight for any
scratches, damage or other type of deformation.
•Make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level
surface.
•Make sure that the inflation pressure of tires are
correct.
•Check that the vehicle fuel tank is full.
1) Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize
the suspension.
2) Make certain that someone is seated in the driv-
er's seat.

Headlight Bulb
LIGHTING SYSTEM
11.Headlight Bulb
A: REMOVAL
1. HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM
CAUTION:
•Because the halogen bulb operates at a high
temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface re-
duces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange
portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch
the glass portion.
•Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for
a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the
headlight may affect its performance.
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct. (When removing the
headlight bulb RH)
3) Remove the battery. (When removing the head-
light bulb LH)
4) Disconnect the harness connector.
5) Remove the bulb assembly (A) then remove the
high beam. To remove the low beam, remove the
back cover (B), and then go to the next step.
6) Remove the light bulb retaining spring (A) to re-
move bulb.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
C: INSPECTION
1) Visually check the bulb for blow out.
2) Check the bulb specification.
