COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the ºFULLº 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 radiator cap or radiator filler
hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

REPLACEMENT
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Loosen the 2 drain plugs (for the engine and radiator),
and drain the coolant.
HINT:
To prevent the coolant from spraying over the cylinder block,
connect the rubber hose (inside diameter 6 - 8 mm) in the mar-
ket to the union pipe under.
(c) Close the drain plugs.
Torque:

2. FILL ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.

Use a good brand of ethylene-glycol base coolant
and mix it according to the manufacturer's direc-
tions.

Using coolant which includes more than 50 % ethyl-
ene-glycol (but not more than 70 %) is recom-
mended.
NOTICE:

Do not use an alcohol type coolant.

The coolant should be mixed with demineralized wa-
ter or distilled water.

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.
