REAR DOOR (for Sedan): Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Before adjusting the door position on vehicles equipped with side airbags and curtain shield airbags, be sure to disconnect the battery. After the adjustment, inspect the SRS warning light, the side airbag system and the curtain shield airbag system for normal operation. Then initialize both airbag systems.
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedures described below are for the LH side.
Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge onto the vehicle body and door. The door cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute standard bolts (with washers) for the centering bolts when making adjustments.
For bolts without torque specifications, check the standard bolt table (see SPECIFIED TORQUE FOR STANDARD BOLTS ).
