GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are the maintenance and inspection items
which are considered to be the owner's responsibility,
They can be performed by the owner or he
can have then done at a service shop. These items
include those which should be checked on a daily ba-

(special) tools and those which are considered to be
reasonable for the owner to perform.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as
follows:
OUTSIDE VEHICLE
1. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge. Adjust
if necessary.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
2. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness
or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten them.
3. TIRE ROTATION
It is recommended that tires be rotated every
7,500 miles (12,000 km).
4. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe
clean. Replace if necessary.
5. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or
other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak,
have the cause found and corrected.

let when operating the heater or air conditioner
at defroster mode.
13. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
14. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are mounted
securely.
15. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be alert
for changes in steering condition, such as hard
steering, excessive freeplay or strange noise.
16. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc.
operate smoothly.
(b) Check that a11 latches lock securely in
any position.
(c) Check that the locks hold securely in any

(d) Check that the head restraints move up
and down smoothly and that the locks
hold securely in any latched position.
(e) For folding±down rear seat backs, check
that the latches lock securely.
17. SEAT BELTS

(d) Settle the parking brake shoes and drum. When per-
forming the road test in item 23, do the following:
wDrive the vehicle at approx. 50 km/h (30 mph) on a safe, lev-
el and dry road.
wWith the parking brake release button pushed in, pull on the
lever with 9 kg (20 Ib, 88 N) of force.
wDrive the vehicle for approx. m (1 /4 mile) in this condition.
wRepeat this procedure 2 or 3 times.
wCheck parking lever travel.
If necessary, adjust the parking brake.
15. INSPECT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
Front (See page BR±26)
Rear (See page BR±42)
(a) Check the thickness of the disc brake pads and check
for irregular wear.
Minimum pad thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
HINT: If a squealing or scraping noise comes from the brake
during driving, check the pad wear indicator to see if it is
contacting the disc rotor. If so, the disc pad should be re-
placed.
Minimum disc thickness:
Front 24.0 mm (0.945 in.)
Rear 9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
Maximum disc runout:
Front 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
Rear 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
CHASSIS
16. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel freeplay.
Maximum steering wheel freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
With the vehicle stopped and pointed straight ahead, rock
the steering wheel gently back and forth with light fin-
ger pressure. 14. INSPECT BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
Drum brake (See page BR±31)
Disc brake (See page BR±47)
(a) Check the lining±to±drums contact condition and lin-
ing wear.
Minimum lining thickness: 1.0 mm (0.0039 in.)
(b) Check the brake drums for scoring or wear.
Maximum drum inside diameter:
Drum brake 230.6 mm (9.079 in.)
Disc brake 171.0 mm (6.732 in.)
(c) Clean the brake parts with a damp cloth.
HINT: Do not use compressed air to clean the brake parts.

19. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
wJack up the front of the vehicle and place wooden blocks
with a height of 180 ± 200 m m (7.09±7.87 in.) under the
front tires.
wLower the jack until there is about half a load on the front
coil springs. Place stands under the vehicle for safety.
wCheck that the front wheels are in a straight forward posi-
tion, and block them with chocks.
wUsing a lever, pry up the end of the lower arm, and check
the amount of play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play: 0mm (0 in.)
If there is play, replace the ball joint.
(b) Check the dust cover for damage. (b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that:
wTie rod ends so not have excessive play.
wDust seals and boots are not damage.
wBoot clamps are not loose.
