*Bug screens which are mounted in front of 
the condenser (unless they are original 
equipment) are regarded as obstructtons. 
l The condensation drain tube expels any water 
which accumulates on the bottom of the evaporator 
housing into the engine compartment. If this tube is 
obstructed, the air conditioning performance can be 
restricted and condensation buildup can spill over 
onto the vehicle’s floor. 
l Make sure the air passage selection lever is 
operating correctly. Start the engine and warm it to 
normal operating temperature, then make sure the 
temperature selection lever is operating correctly.

Although the A/C system should not be serviced 
by the do-it-yourselfer, preventive maintenance can 
be practiced and A/C system inspections can be per- 
formed to help maintain the efficiency of the vehicle’s 
A/C system. For A/C system inspection, perform the 
following: 
The easiest and often most important check for the 
air conditioning system consists of a visual inspec- 
tion of the system components. Visually inspect the 
air conditioning system for refrigerant leaks, dam- 
aged compressor clutch, abnormal compressor drive 
belt tension and/or condition, plugged evaporator 
drain tube, blocked condenser fins, disconnected or 
broken wires, blown fuses, corroded connections and 
poor insulation. 
A refrigerant leak will usually appear as an oily 
residue at the leakage point in the system. The oily 
residue soon picks up dust or dirt particles from the 
surrounding air and appears greasy. Through time, 
this will build up and appear to be a heavy dirt im- 
pregnated grease. 
For a thorough visual and operational inspection, 
check the following: * Check the surface of the radiator and con- 
denser for dirt, leaves or other material which might 
block air flow. 
l Check for kinks in hoses and lines. Check the 
system for leaks. 
l Make sure the drive belt is properly tensioned. 
When the air conditioning is operating, make sure the 
drive belt is free of noise or slippage. 
l Make sure the blower motor operates at all ap- 
propriate positions, then check for distribution of the 
air from all outlets with the blower on HIGH or MAX. 
*Keep in mind that under conditions of high 
humidity, air discharged from the A/C vents 
may not feel as cold as expected, even if the 
system is working properly. This is because 
vaporized moisture in humid air retains heat 
more effectively than dry air, thereby making 
humid air more difficult to cool.

streaking, smearing and blade deterioration if left on 
the glass. It is advisable to wash the windshield care- 
fully with a commercial glass cleaner at least once a 
month. Wipe off the rubber blades with the wet rag 
afterwards. Do not attempt to move wipers across the 
windshield by hand; damage to the motor and drive 
mechanism will result. 
To inspect and/or replace the wiper blade ele- 
ments, place the wiper switch in the LOW speed po- 
sition and the ignition switch in the ACC position. 
When the wiper blades are approximately vertical on 
the windshield, turn the ignition switch to OFF. 
Examine the wiper blade elements. If they are 
found to be cracked, broken or torn, they should be 
replaced immediately. Replacement intervals will vary 
with usage, although ozone deterioration usually lim- 
its element life to about one year. If the wiper pattern 
is smeared or streaked, or if the blade chatters across 
the glass, the elements should be replaced. It is easi- 
est and most sensible to replace the elements in 
pairs.

l Special car washing detergent is the best to 
use. Liquid dishwashing detergent can remove wax 
and leave the car’s paint unprotected and in addition 
some liquid detergents contains abrasives which can 
scratch the paint. 
l Bird droppings should be removed from the 
paintwork as soon as possible, otherwise the finish 
may be permanently stained.

sition of the fluid against the mark on the dipstick, 
Add fluid to the reservoir if the fluid does not reach 
the appropriate full line. 
On most models, the manufacturer doesn’t install 
lubrication fittings on lube points on the steering 
linkage or suspension. However, if the lubrication 
point does have a grease fitting, lubricate with multi- 
purpose NLGI No. 2 (Lithium base) grease. 
CAR WASHING 
The car should be washed at regular intervals to 
remove dirt, dust, insects, and tar and other possibly 
damaging stains that can adhere to the paint and may 
cause damage. Proper exterior maintenance also 
helps in the resale value of the vehicle by maintaining 
its like-new appearance. 
Mt is particularly important ta frequentiy 
wash the car in the wintertime to prevent cor- 
rosion, when salt has been used on the roads. 
There are many precautions and tips on washing, 
including the following: 
l When washing the car, do not expose it do di- 
rect sunlight. 
. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before 
you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid 
scratching. 
l A detergent can be used to facilitate the soften- 
ing of dirt and oil. * A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in 
cases of sticky dirt. However, use a washplace with a 
drainage separator. 
l Dry the car with a clean chamois and remem- 
ber to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker 
panels. 
l If equipped with a power radio antenna, it must 
be dried after washing. 
Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or 
paint thinner, always use the same agent as 
used on the painted surfaces of the vehicle. 
l Tar spots can be removed with tar remover or 
kerosene after the car has been washed. 
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water 
can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent 
cleaning improves visibility when using the wipers 
considerably. 
l Wash off the did from the underside (wheel 
housings, fenders, etc.). 
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more fre- 
quent washing is recommended. 
During high pressure washing the spray nonle 
must never be closer to the vehicle than 13 
inches (30cm). Do not spray into the locks. 
l When washing or steam cleaning the engine, 
avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electri- 
cal components or near the distributor or ignition 
components. After cleaning the engine, the spark 
plug wells should be inspected for water and blown 
dry if necessary. Automatic car washing is a simple and quick way 
to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it 
is not as thorough as when you yourself clean the 
car. Keeping the underbody clean is vitally important, 
and some automatic washers do not contain equip- 
ment for washing the underside of the car. 
When driving into an automatic was, make sure 
the following precautions have been taken: 
l Make sure all windows are up, and no objects 
that you do not want to get wet are exposed. 
l In some cases, rotating the side view mirrors 
in can help to avoid possible damage. 
l If your car is equipped with a power antenna, 
lower it. If your vehicle has a solid mounted, non- 
power antenna, it is best to remove it, but this is not 
always practical. Inspect the surroundings to reduce 
the risk of possible damage, and check to see if the 
antenna can be manually lowered. 
Most manufacturers do not recommend auto- 
matic car washing in the first six months due 
to the possibility of insufficient paint curing; 
a safe bet is to wait until after six months of 
ownership (when purchased new) to use an 
automatic car wash. 
WAXING 
eBefore applying wax, the vehicle must be 
washed and thoroughly dried. 
Waxing a vehicle can help to preserve the appear- 
ante of your vehicle. A wide range of polymer-based 
car waxes are available today. These waxes are easy 
to use and produce a long-lasting, high gloss finish 
that protects the body and paint against oxidation, 
road dirt, and fading. 
Sometimes, waxing a neglected vehicle, or one 
that has sustained chemical or natural element dam- 
age (such as acid rain) require more than waxing, 
and a light-duty compound can be applied. For se- 
verely damaged surfaces, it is best to consult a pro- 
fessional to see what would be required to repair the 
damage. 
Waxing procedures differ according to manufac- 
turer, type, and ingredients, so it is best to consult 
the directions on the wax and/or polish purchased.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL 6-7 
When working on any electrical component on the 
vehicle, it is always a good idea to disconnect the 
negative (-) battery cable. This will prevent potential 
damage to many sensitive electrical components 
such as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), radio, 
alternator, etc. 
*Any time you disengage the battery cables, 
it is recommended that you disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first. This will pre- 
vent your accidentally grounding the positive 
(+) terminal to the body of the vehicle when 
disconnecting it, thereby preventing damage 
to the above mentioned components. 
Before you disconnect the cable(s), first turn the 
ignition to the OFF position. This will prevent a draw 
on the battery which could cause arcing (electricity 
trying to ground itself to the body of a vehicle, just 
like a spark plug jumping the gap) and, of course, damaging some components such as the alternator 
diodes. 
When the battery cable(s) are reconnected (nega- 
tive cable last), be sure to check that your lights, 
windshield wipers and other electrically operated 
safety components are all working correctly. If your 
vehicle contains an Electronically Tuned Radio (ETR), 
don’t forget to also reset your radio stations. Ditto for 
the clock.
