*1: When the starter assembly is replaced, "ST No. 1 relay" must be also replaced.

*2: Not necessary when ECM replaced with new one

*3: Even when not replacing the part, it is necessary to perform the specified necessary procedures after installation.

*4: When "[Parking Support Brake System icon] System Stopped See Owner's Manual" is displayed on the multi-information display.

*5: Also necessary after performing a tire rotation.

*6: It is not necessary to perform this procedure if the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are installed to the same location.

*7: The vehicle height changes because of tire replacement.

WARNING:

The engine assembly with transaxle is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the appropriate service information , or the engine lifter may suddenly drop or the engine assembly with transaxle may fall off the engine lifter.

NOTE:

To prevent the key from being locked in the vehicle, make sure to enter e-latch inspection mode and enable the manual release handle before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [10/2022 - ]
If automatic transaxle assembly parts are replaced, refer to Parts Replacement Compensation Table to determine if any additional operations are necessary.
Refer to PRECAUTION [10/2022 - ]

HINT:

When the cable is disconnected / reconnected to the battery terminal, systems temporarily stop operating. However, each system has a function that completes learning the first time the system is used.
