GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-7
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servicing
a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and they
will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING:

Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under ªVEHICLE LIFTING
POINTSº on SECTION 0A.

When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for automatic
transmission vehicles). Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts when the
engine is running.

When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.

Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refrigerant),
make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.

To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail-
pipe, muffler, etc.

New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory animals.
Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil, wear a
long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing engine oil.
If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags
if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.

Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly
during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
CAUTION:

Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats and
any other parts that are likely to get scratched or stained dur-
ing servicing. Also, be aware that what you wear (e.g, but-
tons) may cause damage to the vehicle's finish.

When performing service to electrical parts that does not re-
quire use of battery power, disconnect the negative cable of
the battery.

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9

When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag describing
the correct installation positions so that the hoses can be re-
installed correctly.

After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or brake
systems, check all lines related to the system for leaks.

For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never dis-
connect the fuel line between the fuel pump and injector
without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel can be
sprayed out under pressure.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only un-
leaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large amount of un-
burned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
± Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as
short as possible, and do not open the throttle.
± Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest
possible time.
± Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g.
starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty).

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-19
VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS
WARNING

When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up the
vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.

Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending of what part to be removed.

Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.

Clutch
Pedal inspection
Check clutch pedal for height and free travel referring to Section
7C1. Adjust or correct if necessary.
Fluid inspection
1) Check around master cylinder and reservoir for fluid leakage.
If found leaky, correct.
2) Check fluid level.
If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of reservoir, refilling
is necessary. Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid indicated on
clutch reservoir cap.
For the details, refer to On-vehicle service in Section 7C1.
CAUTION:
Since clutch system of this vehicle is factory-filled with
glycol-base brake fluid, do not use or mix different type
of fluid when refilling system; otherwise serious damage
will occur. Do not use old or used brake fluid, or one taken
from unsealed container.
ITEM 6-2
Brake Discs, Pads, Brake Drums and Shoes Inspection
[Brake discs and pads]
1) Remove wheel and caliper but don't disconnect brake hose from
caliper.
2) Check front disc brake pads and discs for excessive wear, dam-
age and deflection. Replace parts as necessary. For details, re-
fer to Section 5B.
Be sure to torque caliper pin bolts to specification.
[Brake drums and shoes]
1) Remove wheel and brake drum.
2) Check rear brake drums and brake linings for excessive wear
and damage, while wheels and drums are removed. At the same
time, check wheel cylinders for leaks. Replace these parts as
necessary.
For details, refer to Section 5C.
