  1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fiber) around the tip of the special tool.
  2. Use white gasoline to degrease the tape application surface.
  3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
  4. Apply the door sash tape according to the procedure below. Position the tape at the upper and lower locating points. Peel of backing strip from the top of the tape and attach it temporarily. Peel off the backing strip to the half length of the tape. Apply the tape using the special tool while peeling off the remaining backing strip. For the rear door sash tape, apply it to plain surface (A). Then apply it to stepped surface (B). Press the folded area of the tape by three stages (60°, 120°, and holding), rolling in toward the vehicle inside direction.

  1. Remove double-sided tape remaining on the body surface (when replacing side air dam). Attach protection tape all the way along the edges of the double-sided tape which is still adhering to the body. Scrape off the double-sided tape with a resin spatula as possible. Peel off the protection tape. Use a shop towel moistened with 3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to wipe the body.
  2. Remove double-sided tape remaining on side air dam and adhere double-sided tape (when re-using side air dam). Scrape off the double-sided tape on the side air dam with a resin spatula as much as possible. Wipe the side air dam surface and clean it with a rag moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Remove only a small amount of the residual adhesive. Apply the primer as specified on the residual adhesive. Adhere the double-sided tape as specified on the side air dam.

Scheme 37

Scheme 37: >> A << SIDE AIR DAM INSTALLATION
  1. Tear off the double-sided tape backing paper. NOTE: Attach the adhesive tape to the edge of the backing paper makes the backing paper tear off easier.
  2. Install the side air dam. NOTE: If the double-sided tape is difficult to affix in cold temperature, etc., warm the bonding surfaces of the body and side air dam to about 40 - 60°C (104 - 140°F) before affixing the tape.
  3. Firmly press in the side air dam.

  1. Installation position CAUTION: The ambient temperature should be 15 (59) to 40°C(104°F). Ensure that the working area is clean. If ambient temperature is less than 15°C (59°F), heat the tape and application surface to a temperature of 15 (59) to 40°C (104°F). Be careful that air bubbles are not formed under the tape.
  2. Installation procedure Wipe the tape application surface and clean it with a rag moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Remove backing paper from the tape, and apply it to the rear spoiler assembly.

Scheme 42: Intermittent control (Vehicle speed-dependent variable type) < Initial condition: with function >

Scheme 43

Scheme 43
  1. ETACS calculates the windshield intermittent wiper interval T1 from the position of the windshield intermittent wiper switch on the column switch and the vehicle speed signal (sent from the combination meter to ETACS via CAN communication). NOTE: Using the configuration function, the vehicle speed-dependent intermittent function can be invalidated (Refer to «CONFIGURATION FUNCTION»(ref-289387-S12351195702008063000000) ).
  2. When ETACS receives the ON signal of the windshield intermittent wiper switch, it turns the windshield wiper relay ON. When the wiper reaches the stop position, the windshield wiper auto-stop signal turns OFF, and the windshield wiper relay turns OFF. When the intermittent time T1 calculated by step 1 has elapsed after the windshield wiper relay ON, the windshield wiper relay turns ON again, and the above-mentioned operation is repeated.

>> A << WIPER BLADE INSTALLATION

CAUTIONFor good windshield wiper wiping performance, use windshield wipers without a curve in the backing of the wiper blade.

Scheme 44

Scheme 44: >> B << WIPER LINK ASSEMBLY/WIPER MOTOR LINK PLATE/WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR INSTALLATION
  1. Confirm that the wiper motor has set to automatic stop position (Refer to «>> C << WIPER ARM AND BLADE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION»(ref-289387-S30595762662008063000000) ). CAUTION: Always replace the wiper motor link plate with new one.
  2. Set the wiper motor link plate onto the wiper motor shaft; aligning the triangle mark on the plate to the center line (of 3 lines) on the wiper link assembly as shown in the illustration.
  3. Tighten the attaching nut of wiper motor link plate and wiper motor shaft. Use an appropriate tool to counter-hold the plate to prevent it from turning.
  4. Apply grease to the inside of link rod joint (as required) and connect the link rod to wiper motor link plate. Specified grease: Multipurpose grease SAE J310, NLGI No.2 or equivalent

CAUTION: When attaching the marks, the ambient temperature should be 20 - 38°C (68 - 100°F) and the air should be completely free of dust. If the ambient temperature is lower than 20°C (60°F), the marks and the places on the vehicle body where the marks are to be attached should be heated to 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F). Peel off the protection sheet on the back of the marks to affix it in position.
