HINT:

1. Before adjusting the positions of doors on vehicles equipped with side airbags and curtain shield airbags, be sure to disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. After making adjustments, inspect the SRS warning lamp, the side airbag system and the curtain shield airbag system for normal operation (Click here).
   
2. Use the same procedure for both the RH and LH sides.
   


3. The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
   
4. Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge onto the vehicle body and door. The doors cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute the standard bolts (with washers) for the centering bolts when making adjustments.
   
5. For bolts without torque specifications, check the standard bolt chart (Click here).
   

1. Check that the clearance measurements of areas A to J are within the standard ranges.

1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
   

   CAUTION:

   Work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to OFF and and the cable is disconnected from the negative battery terminal. (The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source. If work is started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal and the ignition switch being turned to OFF, the SRS may deploy.)

2. Apply strips of protective tape to the door panel and fender panel, as shown in the illustration.
   

3. Open the door, and then disengage the 3 clips.
