PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot
h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006228176
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000006222556
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake using a vacuum dust collector. Never blow by com-
pressed air.
 Brake fluid use refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off
immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
 Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
 After pressing the brake pedal more deeply or harder t han normal driving, such as air bleeding, check each
item of brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
 Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
 Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.
 Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crow-
foot (A) and torque wrench (B).
 Always connect the battery terminal when moving the vehicle.
 Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) harness connector or the battery negative
terminal before performing the work.
 Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the parts.
Precaution for Brak e Control SystemINFOID:0000000006222557
 Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function
operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caus ed by VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD
function, hill start assist function or brake limited sl ip differential (BLSD) function that is normally operated.
 When starting engine or when starting vehicle just after starting engine, brake pedal may vibrate or motor
operating noise may be heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
 Brake stopping distance may become longer than models without ABS function depending on the road con-
ditions, when ABS function is operated on slippery r oad like rough road, gravel road or snowy road.
 When a malfunction is indicated, always collect info rmation from the customer about conditions of occur-
rence, estimate cause and perform operation. Check brake booster operation, brake fluid level and brake
fluid leakage, as well as electrical system.
 The optimum performance is achieved by control for V DC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD func-
tion, hill start assist function or brake limited slip di fferential (BLSD) function when all of brakes, suspensions

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006224293
OUTLINE OF LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Always adjust the laser beam aiming after removing and installing or replacing the ICC sensor.
CAUTION:
The system does not operate normally
unless the laser beam aiming adjustment is performed. Always
perform it.
1. Set the ICC target board [SST: KV99110100 (J-45718)] to the correct position in front of the vehicle.
2. Set the laser beam aiming mode (“LASER BEAM AD JUST” on “Work support”) with CONSULT-III, and
then perform the adjustment according to the displa y. (Manually turn the up-down direction adjusting
screw for vertical adjustment. ICC sensor adjusts the automatic aiming for the horizontal direction.)
CAUTIONARY POINT FOR LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
 For laser beam aiming adjustment, choose a level location where a view can be obtained without any
obstruction as far as 12 m (39 ft) or more in the forward direction.
 Adjust laser beam aiming for 5 second s or more after starting engine.
 Adjust the laser beam aiming with CONSULT-III. (The laser beam aiming cannot be adjusted without
CONSULT-III.)
 Never enter the vehicle during laser beam aiming adjustment.
 Never look directly into the laser beam sour ce (ICC sensor body window) during laser beam aiming
adjustment.
 Laser beam aiming adjustment is performed at idle. At this time, turn the headlamps OFF.
Work Procedure (Preparation)INFOID:0000000006224294
1.ADVANCE PREPARATION FOR LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust all tire pressure to the specified value.
2. Empty the vehicle. (Remove any luggage from the passenger compartment, luggage room, etc.)
3. Shift the selector lever to “P” pos ition, and release the parking brake.
4. Fully fill the fuel tank, and then check that t he coolant and oils are filled up to correct level.
5. Clean off the ICC sensor body window with a soft cloth.

get Board)".
Work Procedure (Setting The ICC Target Board)INFOID:0000000006224295
DESCRIPTION
Accurate adjustment of the laser beam requires t hat the ICC target board be accurately positioned.
CAUTION:
If the laser beam is adjusted with the ICC target board in the incorrect position, the ICC system does
not function normally.

Precautions For Xenon Headlamp ServiceINFOID:0000000006225830
WARNING:
Comply with the follow ing warnings to prevent any serious accident.
 Disconnect the battery cable (neg ative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-
ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltage
generated parts.
 Never work with wet hands.
 Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assem bling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon
headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect th e power supply to the vehicle-side connector.
(Turning it ON outside the lamp case m ay cause fire or visual impairments.)
 Never touch the bulb glass immediately afte r turning it OFF. It is extremely hot.
CAUTION:
Comply with the follow ing cautions to prevent an y error and malfunction.
 Install the xenon bulb securely. (I nsufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-
tor, the housing, etc. by high-vol tage leakage or corona discharge.)
 Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.
 Never touch the xenon bulb glass with ha nds. Never put oil and grease on it.
 Dispose of the used xenon bulb after p acking it in thick vinyl without breaking it.
 Never wipe out dirt and cont amination with organic solven t (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
WorkINFOID:0000000006225831
 After removing and installing the opening/closing parts, be sure to carry out fitting adjustments to check their
operational.
 Check the lubrication level, damage, and wear of each part. If necessary, grease or replace it.
