No slipping clutch occurs when releasing pedal and accelerating.
Clutch itself is free from any abnormal condition.
GEARSHIFT OR SELECT LEVER (TRANSMISSION)
Check gear shift or select lever for smooth shifting to all positions and for good performance of transmission in
any position.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, also check that shift indicator indicates properly according to
which position select lever is shifted to.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, make sure that vehicle is at complete stop when shifting select
lever to “P” range position and release all brakes.
BRAKE
Foot Brake
Check the followings:
that brake pedal has proper travel,
that brake works properly,
that it is free from noise,
that vehicle does not pull to one side when brake is applied.
and that brake do not drag.
Parking Brake
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and brake
lever is pulled all the way.WARNING:
Before performing the following check, be sure to have enough room around the vehicle. Then, firmly
apply both the parking brake and the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator pedal. If the engine
starts, be ready to turn off the ignition promptly. Take these precautions because the vehicle could
move without warning and possibly cause personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope, make sure nothing is in the way downhill to avoid any per-
sonal injury or property damage. Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly even if vehicle should
start to move.

CHARGING
CHARGING PROCEDURE
The initial charging of the A/C system is performed from the high
pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from the low
pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check to make sure that hoses are routed properly after
evacuating the system.
2) Connect Low charging hose (1) and High charging hose (2)
of the manifold gauge set (3) in position. Thus open refriger-
ant container valve (4) to purge the charging line.
3) Open the high pressure side valve (5) and charge refrigerant
to system.
4) After a while, open the low pressure side valve (6) and close
the high pressure side valve (5).
5) Start engine and keep engine speed at 1500 r/min. Then,
operate air conditioning.
6) Charge A/C system with refrigerant in vapor state. At this
time, refrigerant container (4) should be held upright. CAUTION:
 Always charge through low pressure side of A/C system at after the initial charging is performed
from the high pressure side with the engine stopped.
 Never charge to high pressure side of A/C system with engine running.
 Do not charge while compressor is hot.
 When installing tap valve to refrigerant container to make a hole there through, carefully follow
directions given by manufacturer.
 A pressure gauge should always be used before and during charging.
 The refrigerant container should be emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
 The refrigerant container should not be heated up to 40°C (104°F) or over.
 Refrigerant container should not be reversed in direction during charging. Reversing in direction
causes liquid refrigerant to enter compressor, causing troubles, such as compression of liquid
refrigerant and the like.
NOTE:
The air conditioning system contains HFC-134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air conditioning system with refrigerant from the refrigerant
service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by using the refrigerant and recycling equipment (when recy-
cling refrigerant), follow the procedure described in the equipment manufacturer’s instruction man-
ual.
WARNING:
Make sure that high pressure side valve is closed
securely.
