Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulatingthe item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knockingnoise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise whil e duplicatingthe conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consistof insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the pos ition the seatis in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditionsshould be duplic ated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspectedcomponents while duplicating the condi-
tions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
orapplying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or onthe engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs c an usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

SYSTEM
The combination meter measures and displays travel time (ignition switch ON time).
Travel Distance
The combination meter calculates mileage, based on the following signals and displays the mileage on the
information display.
Ambient Temperature
 The combination meter corrects an indicated temperature, based on various signals.
 The combination meter calculates ambient air temperature based on the following signals, and the calcu-
lated value is displayed on the information display.
Correction Process (Temperature indicated soon after the ignition switch ON) A temperature indicated soon after the ignition switch is turned ON depends on the time from the ignition switch OFF to ON and a temperatur e detected by the ambient sensor.
When any condition described below is met, an ambient sensor-detected temperature is indicated.- Time from the ignition switch OFF to ON ≥ Predetermined time
- Sensor-detected temperature < Temperat ure at the last ignition switch OFF
Correction Process (Temperature at the Ignition switch ON) A temperature indicated when the ignition switch is ON depends on a vehicle speed, an ambient sensor-
detected temperature, and traveling time.
The temperature on the information display is corrected to an am bient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition
is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature < Temperature on the information display
A temperature on the information display is no t updated when the following condition is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≤ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
A temperature on the information display slowly rises to an ambient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition is
met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
A temperature on the information display rapidly rises to an ambient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition
is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
- When driving more than set time
A/C auto amp. connection recognition
 The combination meter judges the A/C auto amp. connection/disconnection, based on an A/C auto amp.
connection recognition signal to judge the presence/ absence of the ambient sensor power output.
NOTE:
 After an ignition switch is turned ON, “–––” is displayed until after a 2.5 seconds.
