Safety
• The adoption of the triple-H, strenghtened frames on the floor, sides and roof areas provides enhanced
protection.
• Injuries in a pedestrian-vehicle collision are minimized by the increased space between the hood and engine.
• Air bags have been adopted for the driver and passenger-side to soften the impact to the head and face of the
front passengers.
• Side air bags that effectively protect the chest area have been adopted for the front seats.
• Large curtain air bags have been adopted that deploy and cover the front and rear side windows to protect the
heads of the front and rear passengers.
• Pre-tensioner and load limiter mechanisms have been adopted for the front seat belts.
• Seat belt reminders have been adopted for the prevention of unfastened seat belts.
• Both ISO FIX and tether strap anchors are provided in the second and third-row seats for child-restraint
securing.
• An immobilizer system has been adopted. This anti-theft device prevents the engine from being started unless
the encrypted identification code, transmitted from a special electronic chip embedded in the key, corresponds
with the identification code registered in the vehicle.

Conversion to SI Units (Système International d'Unités)
• All numerical values in this manual are based on SI units. Numbers shown in conventional units are converted
from these values.
Rounding Off
• Converted values are rounded off to the same number of places as the SI unit value. For example, if the SI unit
value is 17.2 and the value after conversion is 37.84, the converted value will be rounded off to 37.8.

Upper and Lower Limits
• When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is
an upper limit and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI
unit value may differ after conversion. For example, consider 2.7 kgf/cm
are 265 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the first specification, 2.7 is used as

in the following specifications:
an upper limit, so the converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the second specification, 2.7 is
used as a lower limit, so the converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.

Sending Continuous Monitoring System Test Results
• These appear when a problem is detected in a monitored system.
1-drive cycle type
• If any problems are detected in the first drive cycle, pending codes will be stored in the PCM memory, as well
as DTCs.
• After pending codes are stored, if the PCM determines that the system is normal in any future drive cycle, the
PCM deletes the pending codes.
2-drive cycle type
• The code for a failed system is stored in the PCM memory in the first drive cycle. If the PCM determines that
the system returned to normal or the problem was mistakenly detected, and deletes the pending code. If the
problem is found in the second drive cycle too, the PCM determines that the system has failed, and stores the
pending codes, and the DTCs.
• After pending codes are stored, if the PCM determines that the system is normal in any future drive cycle, the
PCM deletes the pending codes.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC AND CONDITIONS [L8, LF]
P0031 Front HO2S heater circuit low input
• The PCM monitors the front HO2S heater control signal. If the PCM turns the front HO2S heater off but front
HO2S heater circuit has low voltage, PCM determines that front HO2S heater circuit has malfunction.
P0032 Front HO2S heater circuit high input
• The PCM monitors the front HO2S heater control signal. If the PCM turns the front HO2S heater on but the
front HO2S heater circuit has high voltage, the PCM determines that the front HO2S heater circuit has
malfunction.
P0037 Rear HO2S heater circuit low input
• The PCM monitors the rear HO2S heater control signal at PCM terminal 2C. If the PCM turns the rear HO2S
heater off but the rear HO2S heater circuit has low voltage, the PCM determines that the rear HO2S heater
circuit has a malfunction.
P0038 Rear HO2S heater circuit high input
• The PCM monitors the rear HO2S heater control signal at PCM terminal 2C. If the PCM turns the rear HO2S
heater on but the rear HO2S heater circuit has high voltage, the PCM determines that the rear HO2S heater
circuit has a malfunction.
P0101 MAF sensor circuit range/performance problem
• The PCM monitors the mass intake air flow amount when the engine is running.
— If the mass intake air flow amount is below 5.0 g/s {0.66 lb/min} for 5 s and engine speed is above 500
rpm with the engine running and throttle opening angle is above 50%, the PCM determines that detected
mass intake air flow amount is too low.
— If the mass intake air flow amount is above 96.0 g/s {12.7 lb/min} for 5 s and the engine speed is below
2,000 rpm with the engine running and engine coolant temperature, the PCM determines that detected
DPE010200000T09

• At cold-engine start, the variable tumble system increases intake airflow speed by closing the shutter valve and
narrowing the intake passage. As a result, the air-fuel mixture quality from the injector is improved. Additionally,
the creation of a powerful air tumble in the combustion chamber promotes the atomization of the air-fuel
mixture. Due to this, exhaust emission efficiency is improved.
• For the variable tumble control, refer to CONTROL SYSTEM, Variable Tumble Control.
