0A-20 GENERAL INFORMATION
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of the front suspension
frame or rear axle housing.
WARNING:
Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabilizer,
etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.
If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands under chassis frame so that body is
securely supported. And then check to ensure that chassis frame
does not slide on safety stands and the vehicle is held stable for
safety's sake.

ITEM 6-1
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.

FINAL INSPECTION
Seats
Check that seat slides smoothly and locks securely at
any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of
front seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
Seat Belt
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
If ªREPLACE BELTº label on front seat belt is visible,
replace belt.
Check that seat belt is securely locked.
Battery Electrolyte Level Check
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is
between the upper and lower level lines on the case.
If battery is equipped with built-in indicator, check bat-
tery condition by the indicator.
Accelerator Pedal Operation
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting
caught or interfered by and other part.
Engine Start
Check engine start for readiness.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the
engine in each select lever position. The starting mo-
tor should crank only in ªPº (Park) or ªNº (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, place the shift le-
ver in ªNeutral,º depress clutch pedal fully and try to
start.
Exhaust System Check
Check for leakage, cracks or loose supports.
Clutch (For Manual transmission)
Check for the following:
Clutch is completely released when depressing
clutch pedal.
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 transmis-
sion 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 se-
lect lever to ªPº range position and release all brakes.
Brake
[Foot brake]
Check the following:
that brake pedal has proper travel,
that brake works properly,
that it is free from noise,
that braking force is applied equally on all wheels,
and that brake do not drag.
[Parking brake]
Check that lever has proper travel.
WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly
even if vehicle should start to move.
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:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe
place where no man or no running vehicle is
seen so as to prevent any accident.
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 warn-
ing and possibly cause personal injury or
property damage.

GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
Since the problems in steering, suspension, wheels and tires involve several systems, they must all be considered
when diagnosing a complaint. To avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first.
Proceed with the following preliminary inspections and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for loose or damaged parts.
3) Spin front wheel. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out-of-balance tires, bent rims, loose and / or rough wheel bear-
ings.
