MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
• The Moving Object Detection system is not a repl
acement for proper driving procedure and is not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When backing up. always look in the direction driver will move to
ensure it is safe to proceed. Never rely solely on the Moving Object Detection system.
• Using the Moving Object Detection system under some road or weather condition could lead to improper
system operation. Always rely on driver's own steering and braking operation to avoid accidents.
• The Moving Object Detection system may not provide a warning for vehicles that pass through the detection
zone quickly.
• Do not use the Moving Object Detection system when towing a trailer.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open v ehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- A vehicle passing at a speed greater than approximately 24km/h (15 MPH ).
• A rear view camera may not detect approaching vehicles in certain situations:
- When the vehicle parked aside obstruct the beam of the rear view camera.
- When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
- When the vehicle is parked on an inclined ground.
- When the vehicle turns around into your vehicle’s aisle.
- When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching vehicle is small.
• Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
• The rear view camera system may not detect:
- Small or moving object.
- Wedge-shaped objects.
- Object closer to the bumper than 30 cm (10 inch).
- Thin objects such as rope, wire, chain, etc.
• Do not use the MOD system under the following condi tions because the system may not function properly:
- When driving with a tire that is not the within normal tire condition (example: tire wear, low pressure, spare
tire, chain, non-standard wheels).
- When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.

The intake valve timing intermediate lock control improv
es the cleaning ability of exhaust gas at cold starting
by fixing the camshaft sprocket (INT) with two lock keys and bringing the cam phase into intermediate phase.
Cam phase is fixed at the intermediate phase by two lock keys in the camshaft sprocket (INT). Lock key 1 con-
trols retard position and lock key 2 controls advance position.
ECM controls the intermediate phase lock by opening/clos ing the intake valve timing intermediate lock control
solenoid valve to control oil pressure acti ng on the lock key and locking/unlocking the lock key.
Lock/Unlock Activation
When ECM activates the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve, oil pressure generated in
the oil pump is drained through the oil pressure path in t he control valve. Since oil pressure is not acted on the
lock key, the lock key position is fixed by the spri ng tension and the cam phase is fixed at the intermediate
phase.
When ECM deactivates the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve, unlocking oil pressure
acts on each lock key. Lock key 1 is not released because it is under load due to sprocket rotational force. For
this reason, lock key 2 is released first by being pushed up by unlocking oil pressure. When lock key 2 is
released, some clearance is formed between lock key 1 and the rotor due to sprocket rotational force and
return spring force. Accordingly, lock key 1 is pushed up by unlocking oil pressure and the intermediated
phase lock is released.
When stopping the engine
When the ignition switch is turned from idle state to OFF, ECM receives an ignition switch signal from BCM via
CAN communication and activates the intake valve timing intermediate lock control solenoid valve and drains
oil pressure acting on the lock key before activating the intake valve timing control solenoid valve and operat-
ing the cam phase toward the advance position.
The cam phase is fixed by the lock key when shifting to the intermediated phase and ECM performs Lock
judgment to stop the engine.

PRECAUTIONS
4. Cover the serrated end of the valve with a large shop towel (A).
Strike the valve face end with a hammer, separating it into two
pieces.
5. Fill a bucket, such as a 20 (5-1/4 US gal, 4-3/8 Imp gal) oil can, with at least 10 (2-5/8 US gal, 2-1/4 lmp gal) of water.
Carefully place the already cut (serrated) valves into the water
one-at-a-time using a set of large tweezers and quickly move
away at least 2.7 m (9 ft).
6. The valves should be placed in a standing position as shown in the illustration to allow complete reaction. After the bubbling
action has subsided, additional valves can be placed into the
bucket allowing each subsequent chemical reaction to subside.
However, no more than 8 valves should be placed in the same
10 (2-5/8 US gal, 2-1/4 lmp gal) amount of water. The com-
plete chemical reaction may take as long as 4 to 5 hours.
Remove the valves using a set of large tweezers after the chem-
ical reaction has stopped. Afterwards, valves can be disposed
as ordinary scrap.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000009460458
• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts.
• When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
follow the specifications.
• Always replace the old with a new gas ket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction
and blockage.
• Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
• Bleed the air trapped within the system after draining the coolant.
• Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel li nes with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped).
Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
• After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust systems for leakage or rattles.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningINFOID:0000000009460459
• Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts.
- Cylinder head bolts
- Lower cylinder block bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angular tightening)
• Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
• The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
• Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
