6. Disconnect one-touch joint between high-pressure pipe 1 and 2.
a. Set a disconnector (92530-89908) on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle rear until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle rear and disconnect it.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
7. Remove high-pressure pipe 1.
8. Disconnect one-touch joint between high-pressure pipe 2 and 3.
a. Set a disconnector (92530-89908) on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle front until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle front and disconnect it.
9. Remove the high-pressure pipe 2.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace the O-ring of the high-pressure pipe with a new one, then apply compressor oil to it when
installing it.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.

Symptom Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW™
Name of the place vary with the
screen.Some thinning of the character data is done to
prevent the display becoming to complex. In
some cases and in some locations, the display
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not
be displayed every time on account of the data
processing.System is not malfunction.
Vehicle mark is not positioned cor-
rectly.Vehicle is transferred by ferry or by towing after its
ignition switch is turned to OFF.Drive the vehicle for a while in the GPS sat-
ellite signal receiving condition.
Screen will not switch to nighttime
mode after the lighting switch is
turned ON.The daytime screen is selected by the “SWITCH
SCREENS” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screen may
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment function.Perform screen dimming and select the
nighttime screen by “SWITCH SCREENS”.

CURRENT LOCATION MARK SHOWS A POSITION WHICH IS COMPLETELY WRONG
In the following cases, the current-location mark may appear on completely different position in the map
depending on the GPS satellite signal receiving conditions. In this case, perform location correction and direc-
tion correction.

When location correction has not been done
–If the receiving conditions of the GPS satellite signal is poor, if the current-location mark becomes out of
place, it may move to a completely different location and not come back if location correction is not done.
The position will be corrected if the GPS signal can be received.

When the vehicle has traveled by ferry, or when the vehicle has been being towed
–Because calculation of the current location cannot be done when travelling with the ignition OFF, for
example when traveling by ferry or when being towed, the location before travel is displayed. If the precise
location can be detected with GPS, the location will be corrected.
CURRENT-LOCATION MARK JUMPS
In the following cases, the current-location mark may appear to jump as a result of automatic correction of the
current location.

When map matching has been done
–If the current location and the current-location mark are different when map matching is done, the current-
location mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to the wrong road or to a
location which is not on a road.

When GPS location correction has been done
–If the current location and the current-location mark are different when the location is corrected using GPS
measurements, the current-location mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected”
to a location which is not on a road.
Precautions
for drivingJust after the engine is startedIf the vehicle is driven off just after the
engine is started when the gyroscope
(angular speed sensor) correction is not
completed, the vehicle can lose its direc-
tion and may have deviated from the cor-
rect location.Wait for a short while before
driving after starting the engine.
Continuous driving without stopping When driving long distances without stop-
ping, direction errors may accumulate, and
the current-location mark may deviate from
the correct road.Stop and adjust the orientation.
Abusive driving Spinning the wheels or engaging in other
kinds of abusive driving may result in the
system being unable perform correct
detection, and may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road.If after travelling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
How to cor-
rect locationPosition correction accuracy
If the accuracy of location settings is poor,
accuracy may be reduced when the correct
road cannot be found, particularly in places
where there are many roads.Enter in the road displayed on
the screen with an accuracy of
approx. 1mm.
Caution: Whenever possible,
use detailed map for the cor-
rection.
Direction when location is corrected
If the accuracy of location settings during
correction is poor, accuracy may be
reduced afterwards.Perform direction correction. Cause (condition) –: While driving ooo: Display Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)

CAUTION:
While pulling, be careful not to damage (peeling) the outside of the hood lock cable.
INSTALLATION
1. Pull the hood lock cable through the panel hole to the engine room.
Be careful not to bend the cable too much, keeping the radius
100mm (3.94 in) or more.
2. Make sure the cable is not offset from the positioning grommet,
and push the grommet into the panel hole securely.
3. Apply the sealant to the grommet (at * mark) properly.
4. Install the cable securely to the lock.
5. After installing, check the hood lock adjustment and hood
opener operation.
Hood Lock Control InspectionAIS0051H
CAUTION:
If the hood lock cable is bent or deformed, replace it.
1. Make sure that the hood lock secondary latch is properly
engaged with the secondary striker with hood's own weight.
2. Make sure that the hood lock primary latch is securely engaged
with the hood striker with hood's own weight by dropping it from
approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height.
CAUTION:
Do not drop hood from a height of 300 mm (11.81in) or
more.
3. When pulling hood opener lever gently, make sure that front end of the hood rises by approximately 20
mm and that hood striker and hood lock primary latch are disengaged. Also make sure that hood opener
returns to the original position.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (Shock Absorber, Strut, Spring, Bush, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified size),
components related to brake (Pad, Rotor, Caliper, etc.), components related to engine (Muffler, ECM,
etc.), components related to body reinforcement (Roll bar, Tower bar, etc.).

Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn on, and the VDC system may
not operate properly.

When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.

When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting engine.

Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC SW
ON) may cause the G -sensor system indicate a malfunction. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal
operation can be resumed after restarting engine.
