PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) fluid /oil at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(2) Automatic transmission fluid is maintenance-free.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” unde r the “General maintenance” heading earlier in this section.

SPEEDOMETER : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006221697
 The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) conv erts the rectangular wave signal provided by the wheel
sensor to a vehicle speed signal and transmits it to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 The combination meter indicates the vehicle speed to the speedometer according to the vehicle speed sig-
nal received via CAN communication.

SPECIAL FUNCTION
Special menu
W/L ON HISTORY
 Stores histories when warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
 “W/L ON HISTORY” indicates the “TIME” when the warning/ indicator lamp is turned on.
 The “TIME” above is:
- 0: The condition that the warning/indicator lamp has been turned on 1 or more times after starting the engine and waiting for 30 seconds.
- 1 - 39: The number of times the engine was restarted after the 0 condition.
- NO W/L ON HISTORY: Stores NO (0) turning on history of warning/indicator lamp.
NOTE:
 W/L ON HISTORY is not stored for approximately 30 seconds after the engine starts.
 Brake warning lamp does not store any history when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level gets
low.

MEMORY RESET PROCEDURE
1. Please observe the following instructi ons at confirming the sunroof operation.
NOTE:
Do not disconnect the electronic power while the sunroof is operating or within 5 seconds after the sunroof
stops (to wipe-out the memory of lid position and operating friction).
2. Initialization of system should be conducted after the following conditions.
 When the sunroof motor is changed.
 When the sunroof does not operate normally. (Incomplete initialization conditions)
ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING CONTROL UNIT : Special Repair Re-
quirement
INFOID:0000000006141231
INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
If the sunroof does not close or open automatically, us e the following procedure to return sunroof operation to
normal.
1. Press the tilt up switch and start the tilt up operation.
2. Release the tilt up switch once, press the tilt up switch again, press and hold the switch until lid pops up.
3. The glass lid moves slight toward tilt up direction then stop. (Press and hold the switch during this opera- tion)
4. Release the switch again, and press the tilt up s witch within the first 10 seconds. (Press and hold the
switch)
5. After 4 seconds, the glass lid will be automatically operated in sequence of tilt down, slide open and slide
close.
6. After the glass lid stops, release the switch 0.5 second later. (Press and hold the switch during this opera-
tion)
7. If slide switch operates normally, this initialization is done.
ANTI-PINCH FUNCTION
1. Full open the sunroof.
2. Place a wooden piece (wooden hammer handle, etc.) at near fully closed position.
3. Close the sunroof completely with auto-slide close.
Check that sunroof lowers for approximately 150 mm (5 .91in) or 2 seconds with out pinching a wooden piece
and stops.
CAUTION:
 Never check with hands and other part of body because they may be pinched. Never get pinched.
 Depending on environment and driving conditions, if a similar impact or lord is applied to the sun-
roof it may lower.
 Check that auto-slide operates before inspect ion when system initialization is performed.
 Perform initial setting when auto-slide operatio n or anti-pinch function does not operate normally.

Vehicle Height SensorINFOID:0000000006256048
Vehicle height sensor is installed between rear suspension member
(1) and rear lower link (2).
Since arm (A) portion and rod (B) portion are ball joint type, distance
between rear suspension member and rear lower link shortens when
vehicle height of vehicle rear lowers because of laden or towing con-
ditions, and arm portion changes to the status that is higher in its left
side as shown in the figure.
This angle change in arm portion is transmitted to the air levelizer
control module according to electric signal.

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both 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 ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Battery ServiceINFOID:0000000006113045
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prev ent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Occupant Classification SystemINFOID:0000000006113047
 Replace occupant classification system control uni t and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.
Refer to SE-105, "
Exploded View".
ServiceINFOID:0000000006113046
 Never use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
 Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the battery negative termi nal is removed, it is still possible for the air bag
and seat belt pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, never work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3
minutes have elapsed.
 Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “ ⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities, or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.
 The spiral cable must be aligned in the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Never turn steering
wheel and column after removal of steering gear.
 Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag m odule standing with the stud bolt side facing downward.
 Perform self-diagnosis to check entire SRS fo r proper function after replacing any components.
 After air bag deploys, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
 Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
