ON±VEHICLE WHEEL BALANCING
NOTICE:
1. When doing on±vehicle wheel balancing on a fulltime 4WD
vehicle, to prevent the wheels from rotating at different
speeds or in different directions from each other (which
could lead to damage to the center differential or trans-
axle gears), always be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions:
(1) A11 four wheels should be jacked up, completely clear
of the ground.
(2) The wheels should be driven by both the engine and
the wheel balancer.
(3) The center differential control switch should be in the
OFF condition.
(4) The mode select lever on the transaxle should be in
the LOCK position.
(5) The parking brake lever should be fully released.
(6) None of the brakes should be allowed to drag.
2. Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking.
3. Carry out the wheel balancing with the transmission in D
range.
1. SET CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL SWITCH TO
OFF
(1) Check that the center differential control indicator light
goes off.
(2) Further check that hydraulic multiplate clutch control of
the center differential is in OFF condition.

2. MOVE MODE SELECT LEVER ON TRANSAXLE TO
ºLOCKº MODE AND LOCK IT SECURELY WITH BOLT

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-
sis, those which, in most cases, do not require
(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.
6. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors including the trunk lid and
back door operate smoothly, and that all
latches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch se-
cures the hood from opening when the prima-
ry latch is released.
INSIDE VEHICLE
7. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights,
turn signal lights, and other
lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlight aiming.8. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS
Check that all warning lights and buzzers func-
tion properly.
9. HORN
Check that it is working.
10. WINDSHIELD GLASS
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
11. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
12. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster out-
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
latched position.
(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
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as
buckles, retractors and anchors operate
properly and smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut,
frayed, worn or damaged.
± MAINTENANCEGeneral MaintenanceMA±16
(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.

(b) With the same condition, adjust the intervals be-
tween the rear side of center bearing housing
and the rear side of cushion at 11.5 ± 13.5 mm
(0.453 in. ± 0.531 in.) as shown in the illustra-
tion below, then torque the bolts.
Torque: 375 kg±cm (27 ft±lb, 37 N±m)
5. INSTALL CENTER SUPPORT BEARING
(a) With a vehicle unladen condition, adjust the intervals
between the rear side of boot cover and the shaft as
shown in the illustration.
(c) Check that the center line of the bracket is at right
angles at the shaft axial direction.
