< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
WATER INLET AND THERMOSTAT ASSEMBLY
 Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valve of the thermostat.Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.
 The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
 After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
 If the malfunctioning condition, when valve seating at ordinary room temperature, or measured values are out of the standard,
replace thermostat.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
 Check for leakage of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-8, "
Inspection".
 Start and warm up the engine. Visually chec k that there is no leakage of engine coolant.
Thermostat (Standard) : Refer to
CO-23, "
Thermostat".

CAMERA AIMING ADJUSTMENT
CAMERA AIMING ADJUSTMENT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006223734
Always adjust the camera aiming after removing
and installing or replacing the lane camera unit.
CAUTION:
 Place the vehicle on level ground when th e camera aiming adjustment is operated.
 Follow the CONSULT-III when performing the came ra aiming. (Camera aiming adjustment cannot be
operated without CONSULT-III.)
Work Procedure (Preparation)INFOID:0000000006223735
1.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis of ADAS control unit and lane camera unit.
Is any DTC detected?
Except “C1B01”>>Perform diagnosis on the detected DTC and repair or replace the applicable item. Refer to
DAS-310, "
DTC Index" (ICC/ADAS) or DAS-316, "DTC Index" (LANE CAMERA).
“C1B01” or no DTC>>GO TO 2.
2.PREPARATION BEFORE CAMERA AIMING ADJUSTMENT
1. Perform pre-inspection for diagnosis. Refer to DAS-335, "
Inspection Procedure".
2. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure value.
3. Maintain no-load in vehicle.
4. Check if coolant and engine oil are filled up to correct level and fuel tank is full.
5. Shift the selector lever to “P” position and release the parking brake.
6. Clean the windshield.
7. Completely clear off the instrument panel.
>> GO TO 3.
3. PREPARATION OF AIMING ADJUSTMENT JIG
Prepare the aiming adjustment jig according to the following procedure and the figure.
1. Print out the target mark attached in this service manual. Refer to DAS-343, "
Work Procedure (Target
Mark Sample)".
2. Stick a printed target mark on the board with a scotch tape or a piece of double-sided tape.
NOTE:
 Use the board that peripheral area of the ta rget is monochrome such as a white-board.
 Notice that the cross of the target is horizontal and vertical.
