Checking Exhaust SystemNJFE0010Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0005CAUTION:
+Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when
reassembling.
+With engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
+Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
noise or vibration.
+Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
+Before installing a new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool and
apply anti-seize lubricant.
+Do not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may
cause damage to the oxygen sensor, resuiting in the MIL
coming on.
+Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts which are
designed especially for heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and shape.
+Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully
cooled down because the system will be heated just after
the engine stops.
+Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge.

combination meter. The indicator blinks when the ignition switch is
in ªOFFº or ªACCº position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that
the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
+When NATS detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights
up while ignition switch is in ªONº position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.
+When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs),
CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software is
necessary.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS
ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation
manual, NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
+When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), it
may be necessary to re-register original key identification.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner. A
maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NATS.
+When failing to start the engine first time using the key of
NATS, start as follows.
a) Leave the ignition key in ªONº position for approximately 5
seconds.
b) Turn ignition key to ªOFFº or ªLOCKº position and wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
c) Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
d) Restart the engine while keeping the key separate from any
others on key-chain.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONSNJGI0001S03+Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with haz-
ardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
SGI231
+Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before work-
ing on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
+When removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle, be careful not to lose your balance and drop them.
Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially the
brake tubes and master cylinder.
