GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL NOTES
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 performed.
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 interval (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 increase 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 see-through reservoir.
4. 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.
5. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upper and lower level lines on the case.
If level is low, add distilled water only.
6. BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID LEVELS
(a) Check that the brake fluid level is near the upper level line on the see-through reservoir.
(b) Check that the clutch fluid level is within ±5 mm (0.20 in.). of the reservoir hem.
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.
(b) The level should be in the HOT or COLD range depending on the fluid temperature.
10. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking brake applied, shift the selector into all positions from the P to
L, and then shift into the P position.
(c) Turn and pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Reinsert the dipstick 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).
If the If the level is at the low side, add fluid.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
HINT:
Wait until the engine cools down (approx. 30 min.) before checking the fluid level after extended driving at
high speeds, in hot weather, in heavy traffic or pulling 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.

CHASSIS
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel freeplay (See page SR-10).
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that the tie rod ends do not have excessive
play.
Check that the dust seals and boots are not dam-
aged.
Check that the boot clamps are not loose.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (See page RS-2)
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
4. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
Check the drive shaft boots for clamp looseness, leakage or
damage.
5. INSPECT BALL JOINT AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
(1) Jack up the front of the vehicle and place wooden
blocks with a height of 180 - 200 mm (7.09 - 7.87
in.) under the front tires.
(2) Lower the jack until there is about half a load on the
front coil spring. Place stands under the vehicle for
safety.
(3) Make sure the front wheels are in a straightforward
position and block the wheel with chocks.
(4) Move the lower arm up and down, and check that
the ball joint has no excessive play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play: 0 mm (0 in.)
If there is play, replace the ball joint.

BODY
INSPECTION
1. TIGHTEN BOLTS AND NUTS ON CHASSIS AND BODY
(a) Tighten the front seat-to-body mounting bolts.
Torque: 37 N´m (375 kgf´cm, 27 ft´lbf)
(b) Under Severe Conditions:
In addition to the above maintenance items, check for
loose or missing nuts and bolts on the steering system,
drive train, suspension system, fuel tank mounts, engine
mounts, etc.
2. FINAL INSPECTION
(a) Check the operation of the body parts:
Hood:
Auxiliary catch operates properly
Hood locks securely when closed
Front and rear doors:
Door lock operates properly
Doors close properly
Luggage compartment door:
Door lock operates properly
Seats:
Seat adjusts easily and locks securely in any posi-
tion
Front seat back locks securely in any position
Folding-down rear seat backs lock securely
(b) Road test:
Check the engine and chassis for abnormal noises.
Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.
Check that the brakes work properly and do not
drag.
(b) Be sure to deliver a clean car.
Especially check the steering wheel, shift lever knob, all
switch knobs, door handles and seats.
