SERVICEABILITY
A series of investigations from a variety of angles are
carried out starting from the planning and design stages,
to produce a vehicle with complete diagnosis functions
and a reduced need for maintenance, with
improvements in reliability and durability.
Items of improved serviceability
•
Adoption of hydraulic-type lash adjusters which make valve clearance adjustment unnecessary
•
Adoption of an auto tensioner which makes timing belt tension adjustment unnecessary
•
Adoption of a distributorless 3 coil ignition system
•
Adoption of a camber adjustment mechanism in the front suspension
•
Adoption of an alignment adjustment mechanism in the rear suspension
•
Adoption of an outer disc method which makes brake disc removal and installation simple
•
Adoption of audible pad wear indicators in the brakes
•
Adoption of a drum in parking disc type brake to improve workability for the rear brakes
•
Adjustment of gap between wheel speed sensors and rotors in 4ABS
•
Colour-coding of service connectors (for ignition timing adjustment, fuel pump inspection and engine speed
inspection) to distinguish then from other connectors and make them easier to find
•
Expansion and full realization of the self-diagnosis system
•
Improvement in reliability due to harness junction connectors
•
Centralization of relays
•
Receiver piping connection has been made into a flange fitting and the end of the piping section has been flared to
prevent falling off of O-rings
