BATTERY CHECK
| WARNING | Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING. |
BATTERY CHARGING
| WARNING | When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries on charge or which have recently been charged. Do not break live circuits at the terminals of the batteries on charge. A spark will occur where the live circuit is broken. Keep all open flames away from the battery. |
Battery electrolyte temperature may temporarily be allowed to rise to 55°C (131°F). Increase of electrolyte temperature above 55 °C (131°F) is harmful to the battery, causing deformation of battery cell, decrease in life of battery, etc.
CHARGE RATE
If the test indicator is dark, the battery should be charged as outlined below. When the dot appears or when maximum charge shown below is reached, charging should be stopped.

IGNITION KEY REMINDER TONE ALARM
The ignition key reminder tone alarm will sound under the following condition, and warn the driver to remove the ignition key.
- The driver's door is opened when the ignition switch is at "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" position without removing the ignition key.
However, the light reminder tone alarm will take precedence over this function.
DOOR LOCK PREVENTION FUNCTION
If the key is left in the ignition switch while the driver's door opened or the assistant door opened, all door are automatically unlock to prevent locking the ignition key in the vehicle after door is locked.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The immobilizer system consists of the ignition key, the immobilizer-ECU, key ring antenna, and the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T >. The ignition key has a built-in transponder. Only the registered ignition key permits the engine to start, therefore, the engine can never be started by means of a forged key or by connecting the ignition wiring directly. The system is significantly safe and reliable against theft. In addition, the driver has only to turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position to activate the immobilizer system. If the requirements for starting the engine are not satisfied, the engine will be immobilized. If a registered ignition key is lost, all your ignition keys need to be registered again using scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assembly) to ensure security (Refer to HOW TO REGISTER ENCRYPTED CODE ).
An additional ignition key can be registered as follows (only if no ignition keys are lost)
- Using scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assembly) (Refer to «HOW TO REGISTER ENCRYPTED CODE»(ref-236925-S32200938912006071100000) ).
- By operating two ignition keys that have been already registered (Refer to «HOW TO REGISTER ENCRYPTED CODE»(ref-236925-S32200938912006071100000) ).
Scheme 281
- When the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > sends a requirement for the encrypted code to the immobilizer-ECU (at this time, the engine is remobilized).
- When the immobilizer-ECU receives the requirement from the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T >, the immobilizer-ECU supplies power to the transponder inside the ignition key via the antenna. The energized transponder sends the encrypted code back to the immobilizer-ECU via the antenna.
- The immobilizer-ECU judges the encrypted code with its code logic in itself. If they are identical, the immobilizer-ECU sends the encrypted code to the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T >.
- If the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > can not receive the encrypted code, the engine will be immobilized.
The replacing immobilizer system related parts is as follows. When the ignition key is re-registered with the MUT-III, the originally registered ignition key registration information will be lost.
| ITEMS | ECM < M/T > OR PCM < A/T > | IMMOBILIZER-ECU | IGNITION KEY |
|---|---|---|---|
| When replacing ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > | Replacement not required | Replacement not required. All ignition keys re-registration are required. | |
| When rewriting ECM (1) < M/T > or PCM (1) < A/T > | Replacement not required. | Re-registration not required. | |
| When replacing immobilizer-ECU | Replacement not required | Replacement not required. Re-registration are required. | |
| When adding ignition keys newly (if no registered ignition keys are lost) | Replacement not required | Replacement not required | Register only additional ignition keys to be registered. |
| When adding ignition key newly (if a registered ignition key is lost) | Replacement not required | Replacement not required | Register ignition key to be added and re-register all other ignition keys. |
| When ignition key is lost | Replacement not required | Replacement not required | Re-register all other ignition keys except the lost one. |
| (1) When the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > other than immobilizer system is rewritten, it is not necessary to register the ignition key again. | |||
| (1) | When the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > other than immobilizer system is rewritten, it is not necessary to register the ignition key again. |

| CAUTION | Because registering the encrypted codes is done after all previously-registered codes have been erased, you should keep all of the ignition keys that have already been registered accessible. |
If the ignition key, immobilizer-ECU, ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > is replaced or an ignition key is added, encrypted codes of all the ignition keys must be registered (A maximum of eight different ignition key can be registered). Moreover, when the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need to use scan tool MB991958 to register the immobilizer-ECU and input the vehicle secret code and to register the password (secret code) that the owner specifies into the immobilizer-ECU. If an attempt is made to start the engine with an unregistered ignition key, cranking occurs, but fuel supply is cut off to disable the engine. In approx. 10 seconds, the theft-alarm indicator will blink for approx. 30 seconds.
Note. PCM has an encrypted code for immobilizer-ECU, and the encrypted code is registered in the immobilizer-ECU and ignition key.

LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
- Set the headlights to high-beam.
- Using a photometer, and following its manufacturer's instruction manual, measure the headlight center intensity and check to be sure that the limit value is satisfied. Limit: 40,000 cd or more [When a screen is set 18.3 m (60.0 feet) ahead of the vehicle] NOTE: When measuring the intensity, maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min, with the battery fully charged. There may be special local regulations pertaining to headlight intensity. Be sure to make any adjustments necessary to satisfy such regulations. If an illuminometer is used to make the measurements, convert its values to photometer values by using the following formula.
