SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES,
INSPECTION OF FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY
1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between the
UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
2. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the specific
gravity of the battery fluid.
Standard value: 1,220-1,290 [20°C (68°F)]
The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with the
temperature, 50 use the following formula to calculate the
specific gravity for 20°C (68°F). Use the calculated value to
determine whether or not the specific gravity is satisfacto-

Remove the battery from the vehicle
Caution
If battery fluid has leaked from the battery, use
rubber gloves to protect your hands when
removing the battery.
(1) If there is corrosion of the battery stays or
battery brackets from the battery fluid, clean
by washing in warm or cold water.
(2) If there is a leak from a crack in the battery
case, replace the battery.
(3) Clean the battery terminals with a wire
brush, and replace any parts that are dam-
aged.
CHARGING
1. When charging a battery while stil installed in
the vehicle, disconnect the battery cables to
prevent damage to electrical parts

pacity.
3. When quick charging due to lack of time, etc., the
charging current should never exceed the battery
capacity as indicated in ampered
4, Determining it charging is completed
(1) If the specific gravity of the battery fluid
reaches 1.250-1.290 and remains constant
for at least one hour.
If the voltage of each cell reaches 25-2.8V
and remains constant for at least one houe.
Caution
Take care since the battery fl
rise during charging.
Keep all sources of fire away while charging
because there is danger of explosion.
Take care not to do anything that could
generate sparks while charging.
When charging is completed, replace the
battery caps, pour clean water over the
battery to remove any sulfuric acid and dry.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
HEADLAMP AIMING
(1) The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beamset-
ting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE
If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of
headlamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used,
adjust so as to meet those requirements.
(2) Alternately turn the adjusting screw to adjust the head-
lamp aiming. (Refer to P.54-21)
(1) Check the centre of the headlamp (5 mark) as shown in the
illustration,
(2) Inflate the tyres to the specified pressures and remove the
load from the vehicle (except a driver).
(3) For vehicles with the headlamp leveling system, set the
headlamp leveling switch to "0LIGHTING SYSTEM - Service Adjustment Procedures

Caution
When making the aiming adjustment, be sure to mask
those lamps which are not being adjusted.
When it is difficult, because of outside light, to distin-
the light/dark dividing line, use a curtain, screen
or similar material to reduce the effects of the outside
light.
(7) Alternately turn the adjusting screw to adjust the head-
lamp aiming
Caution
Be sure to adjust the aiming adjustment screw in the
tightening direction.
INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
Using a photometer, and following its manufacturer's instruc-
tion manual, measure the headlamp intensity and check to be
sure that the limit value is satistied

NOTE
1. When measuring the intensity, maintain an engine speed
of 2,000 r/min., with the battery in the charging condition
2. There may be special local regulations pertaining to
headlamp intensity; be sure to make any adjustments
necessary to satisfy such regulations,
3. If an illuminometer is used to make the measurements,
convert its values to photometer values by using the
following formula

‘About FM waves:
FM waves have the same properties as light, and
can be deflected and blocked. Wave reception is
not possible in the shadow of obstructions such as
buildings or mountains.

The signal becomes weak as the distance from
the station's transmission antenna increases.
Although this may vary according to the signal
strength of the transmitting station and intervening
geographical formations or buildings, the area of
Qood reception is approx. 20-25 km (12-16 miles)
for stereo reception. and 30-40 km (19-25 miles)
for monaural reception

and noise will appear.
lf a direct signal hits the antenna at the same
time as a signal reflected by obstructions such
as mountains or buildings, interference of the
two signals will generate noise. During traveling,
noise will appear each time the vehicle's antenna
passes through this kind of obstructed area. The
strength and interval of the noise varies according
to the signal strength and the conditions of deflec-
tion.
Since FM stereo transmission and reception has.
a weaker field than monaural, it is often accom-

Capacitor
The capacitor does not pass D.C. current, but
as the number of waves increases when it

against A.C.) decreases, and current flow is
facilitated. A noise suppressing condenser
which takes advantage of this property is in-
serted between the power line for the noise
source and the earth, This suppressed noise
by earthing the noise component (A.C. or pulse
signal) to the body of the vehicle.
2. Coil
The coil passes D.C. current, but impedance
rises as the number of waves increases relative
to the A.C. current. A noise suppressing coil
which takes advantage of this property is in-
serted into the power line for the noise source,
and works by preventing the noise component
from flowing or radiating out of the line.AUDIO SYSTEM ~ Troubleshooting 54-39

(2) After turning the ignition switch to ACC or ON, turn the
radio switch to ON to raise the antenna pole, and
remove it, together with the rack cable.
(3) Draw out the antenna pole to the maximum extension.
NOTE
If there is a bend in the motor end of the rack cable,
remove the bend.
(4) Insert the rack cable into the motor assembly with the rack
cable teeth facing the engine compartment side.
(5) Turn the rack cable teeth towards the front of the
vehicle (90° to right) so that the rack cable meshes
with the motor gear.
(6) If the rack cable pulls out with no resistance when it is
lightly pulled, then the cable is not meshed with the
motor gear, so check that there are no bends in the
end of the rack cable, and then repeat steps (3) and (4)
above
(7) Set the antenna pole vertically and tum the radio
switch OFF to wind up the rack cable. Insert the
antenne to the motor antenna side to align it with the
wound-up rack cable.
(8) After tightening the ring nut, check the movement of
the antenna by turing the radio switch ON and OFF.REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER — Rear Window Defogger
