For Your Safety
To ensure proper use of this product and prevent personal injury and property damage, various graphic
displays are used in the user’s manual. The graphic displays and respective meanings are described
below.
Warning
Warning messages alert you to a procedure or practice
which, if not followed correctly, could lead to death or serious
injury.
Caution
Caution messages alert you to a procedure or practice
which, if not followed correctly, could lead to serious injury
and/or property damage.
Icon
Examples
The symbol alerts you to a prohibited action.
The symbol alerts you to an action that must be enforced.
Drivers should not operate the unit while
driving.
• Operating the unit while driving may result in
a traffic accident.
Do not plug in or unplug the power AC adapter
with wet hands.
• Doing so results in the risk of electric shock.
When using the cigarette lighter plug to supply
power to the V.C.I. unit, be sure the power
voltage supplied is DC32V or less.
• Applying a voltage greater than DC32V
results in the risk of fire.
• M.U.T.-III as provided to dealers includes
12V accessory / cigarette lighter plug
adapter to power M.U.T.-III during extended
test drives.
Maximum voltage the V.C.I. can withstand is 40V.
Do not use the V.C.I. on systems greater than the
32-volt system mentioned previously.
• Violating this requirement results in the risk of a
ground fault, damage and/or electric shock.
For Your Safety
Warning
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

The V.C.I. screen is liquid crystal display or
LCD. In the unlikely event that the display
breaks due to impact, do not let your skin
come in contact with the LCD fluid.
• If your skin comes in contact with the LCD
fluid, wash your skin thoroughly with water.
If skin rash or abnormality occurs seek
medical attention from a doctor.
Do not use the unit if the power AC adapter plug
or cord is damaged or plugging into the outlet is
loose.
• Use under such conditions may result in
electric shock, an electric short and/or fire.
Be sure to hold the harness connector when
disconnecting from the vehicle. Do not
disconnect the harness by pulling on the cord.
• Pulling the cord rather than the connector
may result in damage to the lead wire inside
the cord, thereby causing a short and
possibly starting a fire.
Unplug the power AC adapter from the outlet
when the unit is not in use.
• Failure to do so may result in injury, burns,
electric shock caused by insulation
deterioration, or fire due to a short circuit.
When the harness is connected to the V.C.I., be sure to check the top and bottom of the
connector and connect the harness perpendicularly to the connector of the V.C.I.
Connecting at an angle may result in bending of the pins of the connector.
Check for the secure connection of the harness before tightening of the screw locks.
• The bent pin may contact the connector case, thereby causing an electric short which
leads to damage to the V.C.I.

Please Note
Do not expose the PC or V.C.I. to direct sunlight or high temperatures, or leave the unit in
sun-heated cars. Such action may result in system failure.
Store the PC and V.C.I. in a dry environment at room temperatures.
Moving the PC and V.C.I. to a location with a very different temperature and humidity than that of
the previous location may result in external or internal condensation. Caution is required.
Protect the PC and V.C.I. from exposure to elements such as rain, dirt, dust, food and liquids.
Be careful when handling the PC and V.C.I. Dropping the units may result in damage.
Do not expose either unit to engine oil, gasoline, antifreeze or battery acid. Also, do not clean the
PC or V.C.I. case using solutions such as thinner or benzene. Doing so may result in deterioration
of the case surface.
Prior to connecting the M.U.T.-III main harness between the V.C.I. and vehicle, turn the IG switch
to OFF.
• Connecting the V.C.I. harness with the IG switch ON may damage the V.C.I. programming.
Use only the power AC adapter included with the PC (or approved replacement), power cigarette
plug, other probes, main harness and other cables.
• Use of unspecified parts may result in damage or malfunction due to excess voltage or
insufficient contact.
The LCD display of this unit turns off when the supplied voltage is less the DC 8V. This is not an
error.
The power supplied should be from 8VDC to 32VDC.
Keep all V.C.I. connectors and openings away from dirt and static electricity. Exposure to dirt and
static electricity may result in malfunction and damage.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
1-1. Precautions
Service Work Precautions
• Be sure to follow all basic service work precautions when using M.U.T.-III during vehicle
inspection and service work.
• For detailed information regarding service work precautions, refer to the service instruction
manual of each vehicle.
Work Precautions
• When performing vehicle inspection work at the work site with the engine running, either use an
exhaust gas discharger or ventilate the area sufficiently.
• When working on a vehicle, be sure to apply the parking brake and set wheel chocks in place to
prevent the car from moving.
Driving Precautions
• If you wish to use M.U.T.-III while driving the target vehicle, first verify that all parts are properly
assembled.
• While driving, always have an assistant operate M.U.T.-III.
• Be sure that the M.U.T.-III main harness and other cables will not interfere with driving.
• Install and remove the PC and V.C.I. with the vehicle parked, IG switch OFF.
PC Usage Limitations
Do Not Install Software on the PC
• The M.U.T.-III PC is a special service tool. Do not install any software other than M.U.T.-III
software onto the unit. Installation of other software results in the risk of M.U.T.-III system
failure.
• Any unauthorized software will not be supported. Technical support for units with
unauthorized software will be charged additional technical support fees to return the unit to its
authorized state of operation.
• All unauthorized software will be erased with each new upgrade.
