* Door-ajar warning light
This warning light comes on when the door is either open or
not completely closed.
4 Fasten seat belt indicator
This indicator goes on for four to eight seconds when the
ignition key is in “ON” position, even if the driver has fastened
his seat belt.
BRAKE
Brake warning light
This warning light comes on when the ignition key is in “ON”
position, and goes off after the engine has started. This
warning light comes on when the parking brake is applied
or brake fluid level falls less than the specific level.
III Charging warning light This warning light comes on when the ignition key is in
- + “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started.
This warning light comes on when the drive belt breaks
or the trouble occurs in the charging system.
Oil pressure warning light This warning light comes on when the ignition key is in “ON”
P position, and goes off after the engine has started. This
warning light comes on when the oil fails or the trouble
occurs in the oil circulating system.

EGR warning light The EGR warning light will illuminate every 50,000 miles of
driving. When this occurs, bring the vehicle to an authorized
dealter to have the EGR system checked.
) STB Revision

8-142 METERS AND GAUGES - EGR Warning System
EGR WARNING SYSTEM
The EGR warning system consists of a microswitch connected
to the odometer, a reset switch, and a warning light bulb.
This system will cause the EGR warning light to light up every
50,000 miles that the vehicle is driven in order to inform the
driver that it is time to check the EGR system.
The warning light bulb will light up when the ignition switch is
set to “ON” while the engine is not running, thus allowing the
driver to confirm that the bulb is not burned out.
RESET SWITCH
Use the switch on the back of the odometer to reset the EGR
warning system.
NOTE
If the speedometer is to be replaced, set the new odometer to
the same reading as the odometer being, removed.

E ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
T AIMING
PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Test dimmer switch operation.
2. Observe operation of high beam indicator light
mounted in instrument cluster.
3. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlight assemblies.
These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory ad-
justment can be made.
4. Place vehicle on a level floor.
5. Jounce front suspension through three (3) oscillations by
applying body weight to hood or bumper.
6. Inspect tire inflation.
7. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume its normal
position.
8. If fuel tank is not full, place a weight in trunk of vehicle to
simulate weight of a full tank [3 kg (6.5 Ibs.) per gallon].
9. There should be no other load in the vehicle other than driver
or substituted weight of approximately 70 kg (150 Ibs.) placed
in driver’s position.
10. Throughly clean headlight lenses.
11. Adjust headlights by following the instructions for the
headlight tester manufacturer.
LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT Measure the luminous intensity of headlights with a photometer in
accordance with the instruction manual prepared by the manufac-
turer of the photometer and make sure that the luminous intensity
is within the following limit.
Luminous intensity at the center of high intensity zone for high
beam.
Limit : 20,000 cd or more NOTE
1. When measuring the luminous intensity of headlight, keep the
engine at 2,000 rpm and have the battery charged.
2. If there are specific regulations for luminous intensity of head-
lights in the region where the vehicle is operated, make sure
that the intensity conforms to the requirements of such reg-
ulations.

PRINTED HEATER LINES
INSPECTION N08PKAA
1. The printed heater lines should be tested while the engine
is running at 2,000 rpm and the battery is being charged.
2. Turn the defogger switch to the “ON” position, and use
voltmeter to measure the voltage of each printed heater
line at the back door window glass center point “A”.
3. If all of the heater lines indicate approximately 6V, the back
door window printed heater lines are functioning properly.
4. If a voltage of 12V is indicated at point “A”, the heater line
is broken between point “A” and the negative (-) terminal.
Move the test probe gradually toward the negative (-)
terminal, and search for the place where there is a sudden
change in the voltage (to 0 V).
5. This place where the voltage suddenly changes indicates
the location of the broken heater line.
6. If OV is indicated at point “A”, the heater line is broken
between point “A” and the positive (+) terminal. Find the
point where there is a sudden change in the voltage (to
12V). as described in step 4. above.
REPAIR
I. Prepare the following items:
e Conductive paint
@ Paint thinner
e Masking tape, decal, etc.
a, Unleaded gasoline
@ Thin brush
Wipe the glass adjacent to the broken heater line, clean
with unleaded gasoline, and bond a decal or masking tape
as shown.
2. Shake the electroconductive paint container well, and
remove the amount of paint needed. Dilute it with a small
quantity of paint thinner, and apply three coats with the
brush at intervals of about 15 minutes.
3. Remove the tape or decal and leave the repaired defogger
unused for a while before supplying power.
4. For a better finish, scrape away excess deposits with a
knife after drying is complete (one day later).
Caution
After repair, clean the glass with a soft dry shop towel
or wipe along the printed heater line with a slightly
moistened shop towel.
