COOLANT
INSPECTION
HINT:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ”LOW” and ”FULL”\
lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the ”FULL” line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the r\
adiator cap or radiator filler
hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

UNDER HOOD
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL NOTICE
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
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. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Check that the coolant level is between the FULL and LOW lines on the se\
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
and corrected.
