COMBINATION METER
For improved conspicuousness of the meter at night, the illumination has been changed to the transmitting
type. Furthermore, the warning given at the time of non-wearing seat belt has been changed from the glow-
ing type to the flashing type by employing a flashing type LED at the seat belt warning lamp.

AIR CONDITIONER
The genuine air conditioner of the TERIOS employs a sub-
cooling cycle system. Therefore, this section introduces the
proper replenishing procedure for the refrigerant gas.
In the case of the hitherto-employed receiver cycle, it was im-
possible to attain the 100 % liquidation of the evaporated re-
frigerant gas.
As a result, a part of the refrigerant was sent to the evaporator
in a gas state.
To solve this problem, a sub-cool condenser has been em-
ployed.
In the new design, the condenser incorporates an condensing
section, a modulator and an over-cooling section (sub-cooling
section). Thus, the evaporated refrigerant undergoes the liqui-
dation process twice, thus making it possible to attain a nearly
100 % liquidation.
Furthermore, the modulator functions in such a way that the
liquid is separated from the gas. No receiver is provided in
the sub-cooling cycle.
JBE00034-00000

REPLENISHING PROCEDURE Condensing section

1. The gas replenishment must be carried out, until such a Modulator
time when bubbles no longer appear at the sight glass. IN

SRS AIR BAG SYSTEM

The SRS air bag system of the new TERIOS has been totally
changed from the system with the hitherto-employed specifi-
cations. This time, the new TERIOS has employed the air bag
system with the seat belt pretensioner, as is the case with the
Sirion.
JBE00037-00000

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

WARNING:
• Make certain to perform operations of the air bag sys-
tem according to the correct procedure and method.
Failure to observe this notice may cause the air bag
system to operate unexpectedly during the service op-
eration, resulting in serious accidents. Furthermore, if
wrong repairs should be performed, there are the pos-
sibilities that the air bag system fail to operate when re-
quired. JBE00038-00034

IG “OFF”
• Before servicing the air bag components or the seat
belt pretensioner device, perform the following proce-
dures:
(1) Check the status of air bag warning lamp.
(2) Read the diagnosis codes and put it on record.
(3) Turn OFF the ignition switch and detach the nega-
tive (–) terminal of the battery cable. Then, wait for
at least 90 seconds to prevent the air bag from the
deployment.
JBE00039-00035

• It should be noted that, when the negative (–) terminal

of the battery is detached, the memory of the ECU con-
trol of the other system will be erased at the same time. DAIH ATSU

• Never bring your face, arms and body to the front of

the air bag unit during the removal.

SR S AIRBAG

JBE00040-00036

• Be sure to place the removed air bag pad assembly

with the pad surface facing upward. The assembly with
the pad surface facing downward is potentially hazard.
Failure to observe this warning may cause unexpected
deployment of the air bag, resulting in scattered pad
assembly.
• Furthermore, store the pad assembly and seat belt pre-
tensioner device at a low place close to the ground
level where no heat source (85°C or more) exists in
close proximity, and store at a place where is not ex-
posed to direct sun rays. JBE00041-00037
Revised on ’98 Oct. BE–17
• If the air bag components or seat belt pretensioner de-
vice are dropped, be sure to dispose of the unit accord-
ing to the disposal procedure. Be sure to mount a new
unit to the vehicle.

JBE00042-00038

• During installation or replacement, do not bump the

area near the air bag ECU, using an impact wrench, a
hammer or the like. It may cause the sensor in the
ECU to operate.

JBE00043-00039

• To prevent the air bag or the pretensioner from deploy-

ing, do not measure the resistance of the inflator squib Circuit
V
easily. tester A
Ω

The squib of the air bag or seat belt pretensioner con-

sists of a filament of about 2 ohms. Therefore, there is
the possibility that a current which is big enough to
cause deployment flows when ohmmeter is connected.

JBE00044-00040

• Do not overhaul the air bag components and the seat

belt pretensioner device. It has no serviceable parts.

JBE00045-00041

• Do not install used air bag components and seat belt

pretensioner device from another car. When repairing,
use only new components.
• Do not replace the original steering wheel with a steer-
ing wheel of any other design, since it will make impos-
sible proper installation of the air bag.
JBE00046-00000
BE–18 Revised on ’98 Oct.

• Also do not use any air bag assembly, seat belt preten-
sioner device or air bag ECU, which was subjected to
water damage or shows signs of being improperly han-
dled, such as dents, cracks and deformation.
• Before scrapping any air bag, seat belt pretensioner
device or the vehicle which contains them, they have to
be deployed.
