STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKM1372001000311
1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set
the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on the steering wheel
circumference before the wheels start to move
when slightly moving the steering wheel in both
directions.
Limit: 30 mm
3. When the play exceeds the limit, check for the
play on the steering shaft and steering linkage
connection. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set the
steering wheel straight ahead with the engine
stopped. Load 5 N towards the steering wheel
circumference and check the play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with the
engine stopped): 10 mm or less
5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove
the steering gear (Refer to P.37-24) and check
the total pinion torque (Refer to P.37-27).
STEERING ANGLE CHECKM1372001100374
1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge
and measure the steering angle.
Standard value:
2. If the steering angle is not within the standard
value, adjust the toe-in as follows.
Standard value:
at the centre of tyre tread: 1 ± 2 mm
Toe angle (per wheel): 0°03' ± 06'
3. Loosen the lock nut, and unclip the bellows.
4. Adjust the toe-in by turning the left and right tie
rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite
directions).
NOTE: The toe will move out as the left
turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle
and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear
of the vehicle.
5. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque, and
tighten the bellows by the clip.
Tightening torque: 40 ± 5 N⋅m
6. Recheck the steering angle.

2. The inner side of the windshield is curved,
therefore, make a point to assemble the glass
stopper and windshield spacer without any lifting
and assemble in the position shown in the Figure
of the instructions.
3. Install the windshield moulding.
>>B< 1. When replacing the windshield, temporarily set
the windshield against the body, and place a
mating mark on the windshield and body.
CAUTION
•The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be
sure to apply it evenly around the entire
circumference. However, a too thick
application will weaken the adhesive.
•Do not touch the coated surface.
•Do not apply the primer on the remaining
adhesive because of weakening the adhesive.
2. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to
the windshield in the specified places. If the
adhesive does not remain on the body flange
surface because of the panel replacement on the
body side, apply evenly to the body side in the
specified places.
3. Allow the windshield to dry for at least three
minutes after applying primer.4. Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the
adhesive evenly around the windshield within 30
minutes after applying the primer.
NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a
V shape to simplify adhesive application.
5. Align the mating marks on the windshield and the
body, and lightly press the windshield evenly so
that it adheres completely.
6. Use a spatula or similar tool to remove any
excessive adhesive. Clean the surface with
isopropyl alcohol. Avoid moving the vehicle until
the adhesive sets.
7. Bond the windshield to the body, and install the
roof drip moulding quickly before the adhesive
cures. (Refer to GROUP51, Moulding P.51-10.)
CAUTION
•Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely
necessary.
•When testing for water leakage, do not pinch
the end of the hose to spray the water.
8. Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water
leakage.

GLASS SLIDING MECHANISM CHECK
AND ADJUSTMENT
M1429000900091
If the window glass automatically starts moving
downwards at the wrong time while it is being raised,
carry out the following adjustment or replacement
procedures.
1. Remove the door trim assembly (Refer to GROUP
52A, Door trim P.52A-15).
2. Remove the waterproof film (Refer to P.42-39).
3. Remove the window regulator assembly from the
door window glass, and then raise and lower the
door window glass by hand to check the operation
force.
NOTE: Insert a cushion or similar object to
prevent damage to the glass if it should happen to
fall down.4. If the door window glass does not move up and
down smoothly, check or repair the following
points.
•Check the installation condition of the
runchannel.
•Repair any twisting in the door sash.
•Check the installation condition of the lower sash
or the centre sash.
NOTE: The lower sash cannot normally be
adjusted, but it may be possible to adjust the sash
span slightly within the range allowed by
manufacturing tolerances by pushing the lower

POWER WINDOW OPERATING CURRENT
CHECK
M1429001100184
1. Remove the power window fuse and connect an
ammeter as shown in the illustration.
2. When the power window switch is pressed to the
“UP” position, a large amount of current flows at
the time the window starts to close and when it is
fully closed, so measure the operation current in
the interval between these two points.
Standard value (A): 5 ± 1A (Power supply
voltage 14.5 ± 0.5V, 25°C)

3. If there is a difference in height between the side
outer panels and the side edges of the trunk lid
panel assembly, check the trunk lid hinges and, if
necessary, replace them
4. If the clearance around the trunk lid panel
assembly is not uniform, and the trunk lid can be
locked and unlocked smoothly, make adjustments
to the trunk lid bumpers (refer to P.42-42) and
trunk lid hinges (Refer to P.42-42).
5. If the locking and unlocking of the trunk lid still is
difficult after making the above adjustments,
adjust the trunk lid striker (Refer to P.42-42).
ADJUSTMENT OF CLEARANCE AROUND
TRUNK LID
M1421008100039
Loosen the trunk lid panel assembly mounting bolts
and move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the
clearance around the trunk lid uniform.
TRUNK LID STRIKER ADJUSTMENTM1421008200036
After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper
routing, loosen the trunk lid striker mounting bolts.
Change the position of the trunk lid striker relative to
the trunk lid latch assembly so that trunk lid locking
and unlocking effort is correct.
TRUNK LID HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTM1421008300033
Turn each trunk lid bumper until the height shown in
the drawing is reached. If the trunk lid panel height
on one side is different from that on the other side
(even after the trunk lid bumpers have been adjusted
to the height indicated in the drawing), turn the trunk
lid bumper(s) slightly to make fine adjustments to the
trunk lid panel height.
NOTE: When the bumper is new, one full turn of the
trunk lid bumper changes the height approximately 3
mm. Turn it clockwise to reduce height. Turn it
anticlockwise to increase height.
