B Ð Driving repeatedly short distances
C Ð Towing a trailer or caravan
D Ð Extensive idling
E Ð Driving in extremely adverse weather condi-
tions or in areas where ambient tempera-
tures are either extremely low or extremely
high
F Ð Driving in high humidity areas or in mountain-
ous areasG Ð Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive
materials
H Ð Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in
the desert

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
MA-12

Tire Rotation
lAfter rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure.
lRetighten the wheel nuts after the aluminum wheel has
been run for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) or if a flat tire
occurs.
Wheel nuts:
: 118 - 147 N´m (12 - 15 kg-m, 87 - 108 ft-lb)
Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake System
Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasion, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake Fluid
1. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each air bleeder
valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system
to refill brake fluid. Refer to BR section.
lRefill with recommended brake fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4).
Refer to ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'',
MA-12.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

LINING
Check wear or damage.
Lining wear limit (Minimum thickness):
1.5 mm (0.059 in)
TEMPORARY METHOD FOR CHECKING LINING
WEAR
Remove inspection hole plug and check for lining wear.
Checking Steering Gear and Linkage
STEERING GEAR
lCheck gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.
lCheck connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
lCheck ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
looseness, wear, damage or grease leakage.
Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
lCheck fluid level with engine off.
lCheck fluid level with dipstick on reservoir cap. Use ``HOT''
range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF). Use
``COLD'' range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to
86ÉF).
CAUTION:
lDo not overfill.
lRecommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
type ``DEXRONTMIIE'', ``DEXRONTMIII'' or equivalent.
lCheck lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
