Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)NBEL0228S0204IThe oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle
steering angle.
IThe oscillator gyro periodically senses oscillatory variation at
the oscillation terminals. This variation is caused by changes
in the vehicle angular velocity. Voltage variations are sensed
by ceramic voltage sensors at the left and right sides of the
terminals. Vehicle angular velocity corresponds directly with
these changes in voltage.
IThe gyro is built into the display & navigation (NAVI) control
unit.

BIRDVIEWTNBEL0228S0205The BIRDVIEWTprovides a detailed and easily seen display of
road conditions covering the vehicle's immediate to distant area.

DescriptionNBEL0228S0206IDisplay area: Trapezoidal representation showing approximate
distances (Wn, D, and Wd).
ITen horizontal grid lines indicate display width while six verti-
cal grid lines indicate display depth and direction.
IDrawing line area shows open space, depth, and immediate
front area. Each area is to a scale of approximately 5:6:25.
IWhen the ªZMþº button is pushed, the view point height is
increased. Pushing the ªZM+º button decreases the height.
Pushing the ªZMþº button or the ªZM+º button during operation
indicates the scale change and the view point height at the
left-hand side of the screen.

Removal and InstallationNBFE0005CAUTION:
IAlways replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
IWith engine running, check all tube connections for exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for
unusual noises.
ICheck to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting insulators are installed properly and free
from undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise or vibration.
IDiscard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
IBefore installing new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread
Cleaner tool J-43897-18 of J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.
IDo not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the oxygen sensor, result-
ing in the MIL coming on.
