• The time required for each diagnosis varies with road surface conditions, weather, altitude, individual driving habits, etc.

  Zone A refers to the range where the time, required for the diagnosis under normal conditions*, is the shortest.

  Zone B refers to the range where the diagnosis can still be performed if the diagnosis is not completed within zone A.

  *: Normal conditions refer to the following:

• Sea level
• Flat road
• Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)
• Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.

Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)], diagnosis may also be performed.
