29.Lifting the vehicle up and lowering the jack slowly, remove the transaxle assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following :
a. Adjust the shift cable.
b. Refill the transaxle with fluid.
c. Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
d. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
e. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, assemble them, and apply grease to prevent
corrosion.
1. Lowering the vehicle or lifting up a jack, install the transaxle assembly.
2. Tighten the transaxle lower mounting bolts (B- 4EA).
TORQUE:
65~85 Nm(6.5~8.5 kgf.m, 47.0~61.5 lb - ft)
3. Install the drive plate bolts (A) by turning the timing gear.
TORQUE:
46~53 Nm(4.6~5.3 kgf.m, 33.3~38.3 lb - ft)
4.After removing a jack, insert the drive shafts. (see DS group)
5. Install the sub frame. (see SS group).
6. Tighten the roll stopper mounting bolts.
TORQUE:
90~110 Nm(9~11 kgf.m, 65.1~79.5 lb - ft)
7. Connect the lower arm, the tie rod end ball joint, the stabilizer bar link to the front knuckle. (see SS group)

INSPECTION
1.Check the condenser fins for clogging and damage. If clogged, clean them with water, and blow them with
compressed air. If bent, gently bend them using a screwdriver or pliers.
2. Check the condenser connections for leakage, and repair or replace it, if required.
REPLACEMENT
CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station (Refer to HA - 8).
2. Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
3. Remove the radiator. (Refer to EM group)
4. Remove 2 bolts, and then remove the condenser (A) by lifting it up. Be careful not to damage the radiator and
condenser fins when removing the condenser.
5.Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
a. If you're installing a new condenser, add refrigerant oil ND- OIL8.
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them.
Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 9)
DESICCANT
1.Remove the condenser, and then remove the bottom cap (B) with L wrench (A) from the condenser.
TORQUE: 20~25N.m (2.0~2.5kgf•m, 14.5~18.2lb - ft)

2.Remove the desiccant (A) from condenser using a long nose plier. Check for crumbled desiccant and clogged
bottom cap filter.
3.Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O - rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
4. Insert the new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed
to air for use.
5. Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
a.Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
b. Replace the O - rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing
them. Be sure to use the right O - rings for R- 134a to avoid leakage.
c. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
d. Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
e. Charge the system, and test its performance. (Refer to HA - 10)

DESCRIPTION
1.A.Q.S is located at center support in front of the engine radiator, and detects hazardous elements in ambient air
providing output signal to control.
2. It will detect sulfurous acid gas, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and allergen.

REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
2. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station. (Refer to HA - 8)
3. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
4. Remove the bolts (A) and the expansion valve (B) from the evaporator core.
Plug or cap the lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust contamination.
5.Disconnect the inlet (A) and outlet (B) heater hoses from the heater unit.
Engine coolant will run out when the hoses are disconnected; drain it into a clean drip pan. Be sure not to let
coolant spill on electrical parts or painted surfaces. If any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
6. Remove the crash pad (Refer to BD group).
7. Remove the cowl cross bar assembly. (Refer to BD group)
8. Disconnect the connectors from the temperature control actuator, the mode control actuator and the evaporator
temperature sensor.
9. Remove the heater & blower unit after loosening 3 mounting bolts.

REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative(- ) battery terminal.
2. Recover the refrigerant with a recover/ recycling/ charging station.
3. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
4. Remove luggage side trim(Refer to BD - ).
5. Loosen the refrigerant line mounting bolts, and then remove the rear refrigerant line(A).
6.Remove the heater hose(A), drain hose(B).
7.Remove the rear heater main connector(A).
8.Loosen the rear heater mounting nuts, and then remove the rear heater unit(A).
