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.

5) Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any damages such as
crack, breakage, malfunction or excessive play.
If anything is found faulty, replace as steering lower shaft assem-
bly or steering column assembly.
6) Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
7) Check steering shaft and column for bend, cracks or deforma-
tion.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

After tightening steering column mounting bolts, steering
shaft joint bolts should be tightened.

After tightening steering column lower bolts, steering col-
umn upper bolts should be tightened.
1) Be sure that front wheels and steering wheel are in straight-
ahead position.
2) If equipped with shift (key) interlock cable, install shift (key) inter-
lock cable to ignition switch.
3) Install steering column assembly to dash panel and upper
bracket so that boss of steering column lower seal and all around
it project out of hole in dash panel into engine room. Tighten
steering column lower bolts (4 pieces) first and then upper bolts
(2 pieces) to specified torque.

3C1-2 AIR BAG STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering function:

The column is energy absorbing, designed to compress in a front-end collision.

The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.

With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehicle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that only the specified screws, bolts, and nuts be used as
designated and that they are tightened to the specified torque. When the column assembly is removed from the
vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a steering wheel puller other than the one recommended
in this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly
could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain column length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is
mounted to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the
restraint of the driver's and passenger's seat belts by deploying the air bags. The air bag (inflator) module should
be handled with care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be sure to observe all WARNINGS in this
section. Refer to ªSERVICE PRECAUTIONSº in Section 10B.

INSPECTION
Check contact coil and combination switch wire harness for any
signs of scorching, melting or other damage. If it is damaged, re-
place.
INSTALLATION
1) Check to make sure that vehicle's front tires are set at straight-
ahead position and then ignition switch is at ªLOCKº position.
2) Install contact coil and combination switch assembly to steering
column.
NOTE:
New contact coil and combination switch assembly is sup-
plied with contact coil set and held at its center position
with a lock pin and seal. Remove this lock pin after installing
contact coil and combination switch assembly to steering
column.
