SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) and
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) type
1. RUNNING TEST (IN SAFE AREA)
for all seats:
(a)  Fasten the front seat belts.
(b)  Drive the car at 10 mph (16 km/h) and make a very hard stop.
(c)  Check that the belt is locked and cannot be extended at this
time.
HINT: Conduct this test in a safe area. If the belt does not lock,
remove the belt mechanism assembly and conduct the fol-
lowing static check. Also, whenever installing a new belt as-
sembly, verify the proper operation before installation.
2.  STATIC TEST
for all seats:
(a)  Verify that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b)  Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c)  Tilt the retractor slowly.
(d)  Verify that the belt can be pulled out at a tilt of 15 degrees or
less, and cannot be pulled out at over 45 degrees of tilt.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
except for driver's seat:
(e)  Pull out the whole belt, release it slightly and then pull it out
again.
(f)  Verify that the belt cannot be extended further.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.

± MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE OPERATIONS 

There are some maintenance and inspection
items which are considered to be the owner's re-
sponsibility. They can be performed by the owner
or be can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be
checked  on a daily basis, 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 gen-
eral maintenance are as follows:
OUTSIDE VEHICLE

looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten  them.
3.  WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES

wipe clean. Replace if necessary.
4. 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.
5.  DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD

er outlet when operating the heater air condi-
tioner at defroster mode.
12. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
13. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are
mounted  securely.
14. STEERING WHEEL

alert for changes in steering condition, such
as excessive steering effort, excessive free-
play or strange noise.
15. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as seat
adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. operate
smoothly.
(b)  Check that all 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.
16. SEAT BELTS

buckles, retractors and anchors operate
properly and smoothly.

or replace the valve.
NOTICE: Do not grind off more than the minimum overall
length.
8.  INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a)  Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.

Apply a thin coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the valve
face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not rotate
the valve.
(c)  Check the valve face and seat for the following:
wIf blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is
concentric.  If not, replace the valve.
wIf blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the guide
and face are concentric. If not, resurface the seat.
wCheck that the seat contact is in the middle of the valve
face with the following width:
Intake
1.0±1.4 mm (0.039±0.055 in.)
Exhaust
1.2±1.6 mm (0.047±0.063 in.)
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
