BRAKES
13. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSESHINT: Check in a well lighted area. Check the entire circum-
ference and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as re-
quired. Turn the front whe els fully right or left before checking
the front brake.
(a) Check all brake lines and hoses for: wDamage
w Wear
w Deformation
w Cracks
w Corrosion
w Leaks
w Bends
w Twists
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leakage.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through the center of the grommets.

HINT: If a squealing or scraping noise comes from the brake
during driving, check the pad wear indicator to see if it is con-
tacting the disc rotor. If so, the disc pad should be replaced.
(b) Check the disc for wear or runout.
Minimum disc thickness: Front
30.0 mm (1.181 in.)
Rear
15.0 mm (0.591 in.)
(c) Check the disc for runout.

17. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel freeplay.
Maximum freeplay:30 mm (1.18 in.)
With the vehicle stopped and pointed straight ahead, rock the
steering wheel gently back and forth with light finger pres-
sure.

20. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.wJack up the front of the vehicle and support it with
stands.
w Make sure the front wheels are in a straight±ahead
position, and depress the brake pedal.
w Jack up the lower suspension arm until there is about
half a load on the front coil spring.
w Move the front wheel up and down and check that the
ball joint has no excessive play.
Maximum lower ball joint vertical play.
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
If the play is greater than maximum, replace the ball joint.
(b) Visually check the dust covers for damage
21. C H E C K A U TO M AT I C T RANSMISSION AND
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (FLUID)
A. Inspect automatic transmission fluid
(a) Visually check the differential for fluid and leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
(b) Check the fluid level with the engine idling and shift lever at ªPº.
If the level is low, add fluid.
Transmission fluid:
See item 22 (A)
B. Inspect differential oil
(a) Visually check the transmission for oil and leakage.If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
(b) Remove the filler plug, and feel inside the hole with your finger. Check that the oil comes to within 5 mm (0.20 in) of the
bottom edge of the filler hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler
hole.

23. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUIDCheck that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
24. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check that the coolant level is between the
LEVEL lines on the see±through reservoir at
normal temperature (20 5C (68 5F)).
25. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leaves, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
26. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check the indicator.
When the indicator color is blue, the condition
is satisfactory. A red color indicates that dis-
tilled water must be added, and white indicates
that charging is necessary. 27. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Check that the brake fluid level is near the up-
per level line on the see±through reservoir.
28. ENGINE DRIVE BELT Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oili-
ness.
29. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check that level on the dipstick with the engine
turned off.
30. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL Check the level on the dipstick.
The level should be in the ªHOTº or ªCOLDº
range depending on the fluid temperature.
31. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking and foot brake applied, shift the selector into all
positions from ªPº to ªLº, and then shift into ªPº.
(c) Turn and pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag.
Re±insert the dipstick fully and check that the
fluid level is in the ªHOTº range.
(d) Perform this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 ± 80
C (158 ± 176
F)).
If the level is at the low side, add fluid.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
HINT: Wait about 30 minutes before checking
the fluid level after extended driving at high
speeds in hot weather, driving in heavy traffic
or with a trailer.
32. EXHAUST SYSTEM Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose sup-
ports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or
smell of the exhaust fumes is noticed, have the
