The security indicator is located on the combi meter. The indicator
blinks when the ignition switch is in “OFF” or “ACC” 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 “ON” 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 “ON” position for approximately 5
seconds.
b) Turn ignition key to “OFF” or “LOCK” 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 PRECAUTIONSNJGI0001S03Do 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.

SGI234
Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and
needle bearings as a set.
Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their
assembled locations and sequence.
Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use
microcomputers (such as ECMs).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi-
cate the proper connection.
Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for
safe and efficient service repairs.
When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust
systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.

To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure of hose inser-
tion length and clamp orientation. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)
SMA021D
Hose ClampingNJGI0001S0602If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original
position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there
is a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align
rubber hose at that position.
Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
SMA022D
After installing leaf spring clamps, apply force to them in the
direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all
around.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ENGINE OILSNJGI0001S07Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
Health Protection PrecautionsNJGI0001S0701Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underclothing, with
oil.
Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should
not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.
Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing
lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.

tion an eye wash facility should be provided.
Environmental Protection PrecautionsNJGI0001S0702Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt, check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning the pollution vary between
regions.
