GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service sh\

the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performe\
d.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in\
the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time inter\
val (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval \
as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, \
and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlights aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS

mode.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and mounted securely.
10. STEELING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive freeplay or strange noises.
11. SEATS

iner, etc. operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.

as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.

e −through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leave\
s, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
5. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upp\
er and lower level lines on the case.
If level is low, add distilled water only.
6. BRAKE FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake fluid level is near the upper level line on the see\
−through reservoir.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELTS
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oiliness.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off.
9. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
(a) Check the level on the dipstick.
(b) The level should be in the HOT or COLD range depending on the fluid temp\
erature.
10. 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 sel\
ector into all positions from the P to L, and then shift into the P.
(c) 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 HOT range.
(d) Do this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 − 80°C (158 − 176° F)).
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.
11. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose supports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is\
noticed, have the cause located

Viscosity: 75W−90
(b) Differential: 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 hole.
If the level is low, add oil until it begins to run out of the filler hole.
Oil drade: Hypoid gear oil API GL −5
Viscosity:
Above −18°C (0° F) SAE 90
Below −18°C (0° F) SAE 80W−90 or 80W
