ELECTRICAL - Theft-alarm System8-33ARMING THE SYSTEM
After the following procedures have been completed, the SECURITY light illuminates for about 20 seconds,
and when illumination stops, the system is armed.
(1) Pull out the ignition key from the key cylinder.
(2) Open a door. (The other door is closed.)
(3) Lock the door with the key or the
keyless-locking method.
(The central door locking system will then function to lock all doors.)
NOTE(1) The system is set regardless of whether the hood and liftgate are open or
closed, and is armed as
soon as the light goes out.
(2) Even after the system has been armed, if the key is used to open the liftgate, the system will not be
activated; when the liftgate is then
closed, moreover, the system will be armed.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
(1) The system will be disarmed if the key is used to unlock a door.
(2) If the system is armed while the driver is still in the vehicle, the system can be disarmed by inserting the
ignition key and turning it to the ACC or ON position.
(3) If the door lock is unlocked while closing the door or the door is ajar.
(4) If the door is unfastened while the SECURITY light illuminates.
ACTIVATING THE ALARM
(1) if an attempt is made to open a door, the liftgate or the hood, without using the key, while the system is
armed, the horn will sound intermittently and the headlights will flash on and off for approximately
three,
minutes.Furthermore, the starter circuit is interrupted at this time also, making starting of the engine impossible.
(2) if a further attempt at *forcible entry is made after the first three-minute alarm has finished, the
three-minute alarm will be activated again.
DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
(1) To deactivate the alarm, insert the key into the door’s key cylinder and turn the key.
(2) The alarm is deactivated and the system is disarmed when the iiftgate is unlocked with the key.
CHECKING THE SYSTEM OPERATION
The activation/operation of the system can be checked by following the steps below.
(1) Turn the ignition key to the ON position and then use the power-window switch to fully open the window
at the driver’s seat side.
(2) Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position and then remove the key from the ignition.
(3) Open only the driver’s door, and close all the other doors, as well as the hood and the rear hatch.
(4) Lock the driver’s door by the key or the
keyless-locking method.
(5) All doors will then be
locked, and the SECURITY light (within the combination meter) will illuminate; check
to be sure that illumination stops in about 20 seconds.
(6) After about two seconds have passed after the SECURITY light illumination stopped, reach through the
window of the driver’s door, pull up the lock lever to unlock the door, and then open the door.
(7) Check to be sure that, when the door is opened, the horn starts sounding and the headlights flash on and
Off.
(8) To stop the alarm, insert the key into the door’s key cylinder and turn the key.
!?iEeck the alarm for the opening of the liftgate or hood open the liftgate (or the hood) by using the
remote liftgate release lever (or the hood release lever),
located at the driver’s seat side either before the
alarm is activated by the opening of a door, or after the finish of the first three-minute alarm.

(1) There is an oil jet provided for each cylinder just under the
main gallery of the cylinder block. When the pressure of oil
from the main gallery exceeds 200
kPa (2 kg/cm’, 28 psi),
the oil pushes open the check valve, spurting over the
inside of the piston, thus cooling it. (Turbo engines only)

(1) Before the valve starts opening:
--
No external load is applied to the
plunger, thus
causing the plunger to be pushed UP
by theplunger spring, maintaining zero clearance.
.(2) When the valve starts opening:
When the cam pushes the rocker arm, the ball inthe high-pressure chamber immediately is held
pressed against the seat by the hydraulic press-
ure. fully closing the high-pressure chamber. AS
the check ball closes, the pressure in the
high-pressure chamber surges causing the plun-ger to support the load from rocker arm, which
.allows the valve to start ooenino.
- -__
(3) During the valve opening stroke:
A very small amount of oil leaks through the
clearance between the lash adjuster body and
plunger.
(4) When the valve completes its opening stroke:
There is no external load being applied to the
plunger as the valve closes, causing the plunger
to be pushed up by the plunger spring. This
causes the pressure in the high-pressure cham-
ber to be lowered, which pushes the check ball
open. The oil which has leaked is replaced in thehigh-pressure chamber from the reservoir cham-
ber.

9-18ENGINE- Base Engine
(1) The intake camshaft, exhaust camshaft, and the
oil pump are driven by a single timing belt.
(2) Timing belt tension varies at different engine
temperatures and ages of the belt. The autotensioner absorbs these changes in belt
ten+n,not only to prevent the noise problem
getting worse, but to improve durability as weli’l

WHEN THE BELT TENSION HAS INCREASED
(1) The tensioner arm pushes the piston in the direction shown
by
arrow @, causing the hydraulic pressure in the pressurechamber to build up.
(2) The check ball closes.
(3) The oil inthepressure chamber is compressed by the
piston, which causes a small amount of oil to gradually leak
through the clearance between the piston and cylinder into
the reservoir chamber. This causes the piston to move
slowly in the direction shown by arrow
@.
(4) The piston stops moving when the load in the direction @balances the spring tension, which determines the load,
i.e., tension, applied to the belt.
WHEN THE BELT TENSION HAS DECREASED
(1) The piston moves in the direction shown by arrow @I by the
spring tension.
(2) As the piston moves, the hydraulic pressure in the pressure
chamber becomes lower than that in the reservoir cham-
ber.
(3) The check ball opens.
(41 Oil enters the pressure chamber.
(5) The piston stops moving when the belt tension balances
the spring tension, which determines the tension applied to
the belt.

-Fuel Supply and Fuel Pressure Control
FUEL PUMP
This fuel pump is known as the in-tank type becauseit is located within the fuel tank itself, surrounded by
the fuel. For this reason, the pump operation noise
is well insulated, and it has excellent resistance to
vapor-locks.This type of pump is also called the “wet type”
because even its internal parts are in contact with
the fuel. With a construction that is the unification of
a ferrite-type DC motor and an impeller-type pump,
the pump itself is composed of the impeller, which
is driven by the motor, as well as the casing and the
cover. There are, in addition, a relief valve (a safety
valve for protection of the fuel-pressure circuit) and
a check valve (to maintain residual pressure).
The electric fuel pump has the following features:
l It has greater discharge pressure
mechanical-type fuel pump, as wellthan a
as lessdischarge pulsation.
lIt has a lower level of operation sound that the
electromagnetic type (Bendix type) of fuelpump.
PRESSURE-SUPPLY OF FUEL
When the impeller is caused to rotate by the motor,
a pressure differential develops at the upper. and
lower parts of the impeller, caused by the grooves in
the circumference of the impeller.
When this happens, a whirlpool effect is generated
within the fuel pump, causing the fuel pressure to
become higher, thereby causing the fuel to be
expelled from the pump chamber and to pass
through the motor, opening the check valve, and to
be discharged from the discharge port.

If for some reason, such as an abnormal condition at the
_discharge side, the fuel were not to be discharged, the fuel
pressure within the fuel pump would become abnormally high.
Thus, when the pressure within the fuel pump reaches
450-600 kPa (64-85 psi), the relief valve opens and the
pressure escapes, so that, the fuel line pressure does not
increase to the regulated level or above.
CHECK VALVE
When the pump stops, the check valve is closed by spring
force, so that there is high pressure remaining within the fuel
line.By in this way maintaining a high pressure within the fuel line,
the restarting of the engine becomes easier, and vapor-locks at
high temperature are prevented.
