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 an 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 ºFULLº and ºLOWº 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.
6. BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake and clutch fluid levels are near the upper level line on the see-through reservoirs.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELT
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oil contamination.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off.
9. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

Check the level on the dipstick.

The level should be in the ºHOTº or ºCOLDº 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 ºPº to ºLº,
and then shift into ºPº position.
(c) Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re-insert 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).
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
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is noticed, have the cause located
and corrected.

3. TURN STEERING WHEEL
With the engine stopped, turn the steering wheel slowly from
lock to lock several times.
NOTICE:
Take care that some fluid remains in the oil reservoir.
4. LOWER VEHICLE
5. START ENGINE
Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.
6. TURN STEERING WHEEL
(a) With the engine at idling, turn the steering wheel to left or
right full lock and keep it there for 2-3 seconds, then turn
the wheel to the opposite full lock and keep it there for 2-3
seconds.
(b) Repeat (a) several times.
7. STOP ENGINE
8. CHECK FOR FOAMING OR EMULSIFICATION
If the system has to be bled twice specifically because of foam-
ing or emulsification, check for fluid leaks in the system.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
dipstick of the reservoir cap. If the fluid is cold, check that it is
within the COLD LEVEL range.
(b) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(c) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(d) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem.
(See page SR-3)
(e) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(f) Stop the engine.
(g) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system.
(See page SR-3)
(h) Check the fluid level.
