(b) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by
following the Formula or Charts:
wUsing a micrometer, measure the thickness of
the removed shim.
wCalculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T ........... Thickness of removed shim
A ........... Measured valve clearance
N ........... Thickness of new shim
Intake:
N = T + (A ± 0.24 mm (0.009 in.))
Exhaust:
N = T + (A ± 0.33 mm (0.013 In.))
wSelect a new shim with a thickness as close as
possible to the calculated value.
HINT: Shims are available in seventeen sizes in incre±
ments of 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984
in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).5. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the adjusting shim.
wTurn the crankshaft so that the cam lobe for the
valve to be adjusted faces up.
wUsing SST (A), press down the valve lifter and
place SST (B) between the camshaft and valve
lifter. Remove SST (A).
SST 09248 ± 55020 (09248 ± 05011, 09248±05021)
HINT: Before pressing down the valve lifter, position
its notch toward the spark plug side.
w Remove the adjusting shim with a' small screw±
driver and magnetic finger.
HINT: For easy removed of the shim, when positioning
SST (B), set it on the lifter so there is space enough to
be able to remove the shim.

SystemOutline
SRS Airbag
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbag is provided for the driver
and front passenger. The SRS airbag has been designed to lessen the shock to
the head and chest of the driver and front passenger in the event of a frontal
impact collision as a supplement to the seat belt.
A 1±sensor type airbag system is used in which the detection of decelera-
tion during a collision as well as control of the airbag system is accom-
plished by the airbag sensor assembly.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '96 Avalon.
However, the inflator for front passsenger and airbag sensor assembly have
been changed.
For details, see page 111.
Cruise Control System
Once it has been set at a desired vehicle speed, this system automatically
adjusts the engine throttle position to maintain the vehicle speed at the de-
sired speed without operating the acceleration pedal.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
However, in the new model, a new type acutator has been adopted. Also, the
functions of the cruise control ECU has been changed. For details, see page
116.
Moon Roof
The moon roof is a tilt±up and sliding type the same as in the previous mod-
el. This system includes ªkey±off operationº, which is the same as with the
power window system. The new model offers an additional ªone±touch slide
openº function which enables the moon roof to fully open when the slide
switch is pressed toward the opening side for a few seconds.
Electrical Remote Control Mirror
The electrical remote control mirrors used in the previous model are also
used in the new model. Also, the internal heater to remove water drops from
the mirror surface is provided.
Key Reminder System
When the driver's door is opened with the ignition key in the ACC or LOCK
position, this system sounds a buzzer to warn the driver that the ignition key
has not been removed.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.

Trunk lidÐ
To open the trunk lid from the outside,
insert the master key and turn it clock-
wise.
See ºLuggage stowage precautionsº in
Part 2 for precautions to observe for load-
ing luggage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.
CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
ÐLock release lever
To open the trunk lid from the driver's
seat, pull up on the lock release lever.
