G FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES
DISASSEMBLY
1. Inspection of parts
Each part when removed should be carefully inspect-
ed for malfunctioning, deformation, damage, and
other problems.
2. Arrangement of parts
All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged
for reassembly.
Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts to
be replaced from those that will be reused.
3. Cleaning parts for reuse
All parts to be reused should be carefully and
thoroughly cleaned in the appropriate method.
REASSEMBLY
Standard values, such as torques and certain adjust-
ments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly
of all parts.
If removed, these parts should be replaced with new
ones:
1. Oil seals
2. Gasket
3. O-rings
4. Lock washers
5. Cotter pins (split pins)
6. Nylon nuts
G—4
FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES G
Depending on where they are;
1. Sealant should be applied to gaskets
2. Oil should be applied to the moving components
of parts
3. Specified oil or grease should be applied at the
prescribed locations (oil seals, etc.) before as-
sembly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Be sure to disconnect the battery cable from the nega-
tive (-) terminal of the battery.
Never pull on the wiring when disconnecting con-
nectors.
When locking connectors, make sure to listen for a
click that will let you know they are securely locked.
Handle sensors and relays carefully. Be careful not
to drop them or strike them against other parts.

REMARKS:
Major service interval at 12 months/20,000 km (12,000 Miles), Lubrication service based on distance only 10,000 km (6,000 Miles) not time
After 80,000 km (48,000 Miles) or 48 months, continue to follow the described maintenance items and intervals periodically.
As for * marked items in this maintenance chart, please pay attention to the following points.
*1 Replacement of the timing belt is required at every 100,000 km (60,000 Miles). Failure to repace the timing belt may result in damage to the engine.
*2 If the vehicle is operatie under the following conditions, it is suggested that the engine oil and oil filter be changed more often than at usual recommended intervals.
a) Driving in dusty conditions.
b) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
c) Driving for a prolonged period in cold temperatures or driving only short distances regulary.
*3. If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, inspect and, if necessary, replace more often than at usual recommended intervals.
*4. This is a full function check of all electrical systems, i.e., all lights, washers (including condition of blades) electrical windows, sunroof, horn, etc....
*5. Replace every two years.
If there has been continuous hard driving, mountain driving, or if the brakes are used extensively or the vehicle is operated in extremely humid climates, the
brake fluid should be changed annually.
