As an example, "CH1" is
displayed.
The radio stations in memory are
erased when the power supply is
interrupted to replace the battery or
fuses.
Programming Preset Channels 1. Display the channel number you wish to program.
2. Press the "CH" button for 2 seconds or longer.
The frequency display will
blink.
3. Press the "TUNE" button ("
y z") to select the
frequency you wish to program.
4. Press the "CH" button for 2 seconds or longer.
Once it has been set as a
preset channel, the frequency
display will stop blinking.
Radio Reception
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there is a
problem with your radio - it is just the normal result of conditions
outside the vehicle. For example,
nearby buildings and terrain can
interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can
interfere with AM signals.
And of course, radio signals have a
limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception
conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not
indicate a problem with your radio.
FM Transmissions
Fading and drifting stations -
Generally, the effective range of FM
is about 40 km (25 miles). Once
outside this range, you may notice
fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path - FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for two
signals to reach your antenna at the
same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out,
causing a momentary flutter or loss
of reception.
Static and fluttering - These occur
when signals are blocked by
buildings, trees, or other large
objects. Increasing the bass level
may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping - If the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another
strong station nearby on the FM
band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original
signal can be picked up again.
AM Transmissions
Fading - AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere -
especially at night. These reflected
signals can interfere with those
received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference - When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station
are very nearly the same frequency,

1. Remove the lens and pull outthe bulb.
2. To install the lights, follow the removal procedure in reverse.

Overload
Electrical System
Following the after-delivery service,
it is the owner's responsibility to
check all wiring periodically for
cracked, chafed or oil-soaked
insulation and maintain it in a clean
and tight condition to ensure
satisfactory operation of the
electrical system.
Replacing the Fuses and Relays
Your vehicle is equipped with fuses
and fusible links to protect your
electrical wiring and equipment in
case of electrical overload.
When the lights do not come on or
flash, or the equipment in the
electrical system does not operate,
check to see if a fuse has blown. Fuses :
In case of an electrical
overload, the fuse will blow and stop
the flow of current in the circuit
before electrical components
become damaged.
The cause of the circuit overload
must be identified and corrected
before the blown fuse is replaced,
or else the new fuse will also blow.
Since different circuits handle
different amounts of current, fuses
of various ampere ratings are used.
Be sure to replace a blown fuse with
a fuse of the correct rating.
To know if a fuse is blown or not,
remove the suspected fuse and look
at the wire for a break. If the wire is
broken, replace the fuse with one of
equal amperage rating.
The amperage rating of each fuse is
molded in its head.
Fuses are installed in the fuse
panel.

The Location of Fuses and Relays
The fuses (3) and relays (2) are
located in the lower part of the
instrument panel in the center and
in the left rear of the cab.
The cover (1) must be opened in
order to carry out inspection and
replacement. In addition, the
cover (1) of the relay box at the left
rear of the cab must also be opened
at this time.
If you should spill water or a
beverage on the cover, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover may get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.Replacing Fuses
1. Before replacing fuses, firmly apply the parking brake, move
the selector lever to the
P (Park) position, and turn the
engine control switch to the
LOCK position.
2. The fuse puller is stored in the fuse box inside the cab. Place
the fuse puller on the fuse and
pull it out.
3. If the fuse appears asshown (2), the fuse is blown.
Replace with a spare fuse (1).
Spare fuses are stored in the
fuse box inside the cab.

{Warning
Always use fuses specified for the
vehicle. Using fuses with a rating
other than that specified, or using
wire or tin foil, etc., could result in
fire or damage.
If the new fuses blow right away
and the cause is unknown,
contact your dealer.
Do not inspect or replace fuses
when the starter switch is in the
ON position. Doing so may lead
to an accident.
When inspecting fuses, be sure to
park the vehicle on flat, level
ground and apply chocks to the
wheels.Replacing Relays
Before replacing the relays, contact
the nearest dealer.
The vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the fuses, relays, and
features shown.
It is not necessary to open or close
the cover unless trouble is found.
The relay box structure makes it
difficult for water to enter. If you
should spill water or a beverage of
the cover, however, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover will get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.

11 FUEL HEATER When Slow-blow Fuses Blow Out
Slow-blow fuses protect the
electrical circuits, and they are
installed so that they can be quickly
replaced if there is a malfunction.
If an overload exists in the circuit
from the battery, the slow-blow fuse
will blow out before the wiring
harness is damaged to protect the
electrical circuitry. InspectionWhen the headlights and other
devices in the electrical system do
not work, but there is no problem
with the fuses, check the
slow-blow fuse.
The slow-blow fuse is blown if it
looks like the illustration.
Immediately contact the nearest
dealer.

Wheels and Tires
The operating load and cold inflation
pressure on the rim and wheel must
not exceed the rim and wheel
manufacturer's recommendations
even though the tire may be
approved for a higher load or
inflation. Rim and wheel may be
identified (stamped) with maximum
load and maximum cold inflation
rating. For rims and wheels not so
identified or for service conditions
exceeding the rate capacities,
consult the rim and wheel
manufacturer to determine rim and
wheel capacities for the intended
service. The factory-installed tires
on this vehicle were selected to
provide the best all-around tire
performance for normal operation.
When inflated, as shown on the
vehicle, they have the load carrying
capacity to operate satisfactorily at
all loads up to and including the full
rated load specified for the vehicle.
For more information concerning the
differences in capacities of tires and
rims, refer to the
“Tire and Rim
Association Inc. Yearbook,” or your
authorized dealer or tire dealer.
