Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the iridium plug.
Cleaning of the iridium plug may result in damage to
the iridium tips. Therefore, if carbon deposits must be
removed, use a plug cleaner and complete cleaning
within 20 seconds to protect the electrode. Do not use a
wire brush.
Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is exceeded.

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1423000100246
OPERATION
.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM
The central door locking system operates the door
lock actuator to lock or unlock the doors and the fuel
lid door using the door lock switch built into the front
power window (main or sub) switch or key cylinder
built into the driver's side door outside handle. The
system has the following operations and features:
All doors and fuel lid door can be locked using the
door lock switch built into the front power window
(main or sub ) switch.
Insert the key into the driver's key cylinder and
turn once to the unlock side to unlock the driver's
door and fuel lid door. Turn the key once again to
the unlock side to unlock all doors and fuel lid
door.
The key reminder function automatically unlocks
all doors when door lock operation is performed
and the front doors are opened while the key is
inserted into the ignition switch.
.
POWER WINDOWS
When the power window (main or sub) switch is
operated, the door windows will open or close. This
system has the following operations and features:
A power window lock switch on the power win-
dow main switch prevents the door window glass
from opening/closing with the front passenger's
and rear power window sub switch.
The power window of the door window glass can
be opened/closed for 30 seconds with the timer
function after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
(The timer expires if the front door is
opened when the timer is in operation).
The power window main switch contains a
one-touch down switch that will automatically
open the driver's side door window only.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM DIAGNOSISM1427000700217
The central door locking system is controlled by the
simplified wiring system (SWS). Refer to GROUP
54B, SWS Diagnosis P.54B-57.
POWER WINDOW DIAGNOSISM1429000700224
The power window is controlled by the simplified wir-
ing system (SWS). Refer to GROUP 54B, SWS
Diagnosis P.54B-57.
DOOR DIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION TO GLASS AND DOOR DIAGNOSISM1423007300241
Glass and door faults include water leaks and
improper opening and closing. Causes for these
faults can include faults in the glass, weatherstrip,
drain hole, waterproof film or door installation.
GLASS AND DOOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1423006700246
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a
glass and door fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the Symptom
Chart.
4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR) INSPECTION
M1429001000284
1. Pull the power window switch to the UP position to fully
close the door window glass, and keep pulling the switch for
an additional ten seconds.
2. Release the power window switch from the UP position and
immediately press it to the DOWN position. The condition of
the circuit breaker is good if the door window glass starts to
move downwards within about 60 seconds.
POWER WINDOW CHECKM1429004400214
1. Operate the power window switch of each door to verify that
the power windows operate properly. If they don't, then
troubleshoot as described in GROUP 54B, SWS Diagnosis
P.54B-57.
2. Turn ON the power window lock switch of the power window
main switch. Then operate the passenger's door and rear
door power window sub-switches to ensure that they do not
operate. If they do, replace the power window main switch
(Refer to P.42-39).

ignations is covered in this manual under "VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION."
.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
The "ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" section has proce-
dures for performing inspections and adjustments of
particularly important components. These proce-
dures are done with regard to maintenance and ser-
vicing, but other inspections (looseness, play,

TOWING AND HOISTING
GENERAL00-30
When service procedures require removing rear sus-
pension, fuel tank and spare tyre, place additional
weight on the rear end of vehicle, or anchor vehicle to
hoist to prevent tipping when the location of the center
of gravity changes.
If the lifting support area contacts with the sill cover
(arrow area as shown in the illustration), the sill cover
will be damaged. Ensure that the lifting support does
not contact the sill cover.
