1A TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Coolant Level (Cold engine)
1. Check that the coolant level is near the radiator inlet
port.
2. Check that the level in the coolant reservoir is be-
tween the FULL and LOW marks.
Add coolant if necessary.
Warning
a) Never remove the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot.
b) Wrap a thick cloth around the cap and care-
fully remove it.

Drive Belt
1. Check the drive belt for wear, cracks, or fraying.
Replace if necessary.
2. Check the drive belt tension by using the tension
gauge.
Standard belt tension N (kg, lb)

Adjusting bolt
3. Check the drive belt deflection by applying moder-
ate pressure (98 N, 10 kg, 22 lb) midway between
the pulleys.
(1) Alternator belt deflection
New : 6—8 mm (0.24—0.31 in)
Used: 7—9 mm (0.27—0.35 in)

(§): 37—52 Nm (3.8—5.3 m-kg, 27—38 ft-lb)
(2) P/S belt deflection
New : 8—10 mm (0.31—0.39 in)
Used: 9—11 mm (0.35—0.43 in)
If necessary, loosen the idler pulley lock bolt
and adjust the belt deflection by turning the ad-
justing bolt.
Tightening torque of lock bolt:
37—52 Nm (3.8—5.3 m-kg, 27—38 ft-lb)
