Explanation of Maintenance Items
36
The following descriptions are provided to give you a better understanding of
the maintenance items that should be performed on your vehicle. The scheduled
maintenance log indicates at which mileage/time intervals each item should be
performed. Please note that many maintenance items should be performed only
by a qualified technician.
For further information on maintenance items you can perform yourself,
see the “Vehicle Maintenance and Care” and “DoItYourself Maintenance”
sections of your
Owner’s Manual.
Automatic Transmission Fluid or Manual Transmission Oil
Inspect or replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it repaired by a
qualified technician immediately.
Ball Joints and Dust Covers
Check the suspension and steering linkage ball joints for looseness and damage.
Check all dust covers for deterioration and damage. Replace any deteriorated ordamaged parts. Aqualified technician should perform these operations.
Brake Lines and Hoses
Visually inspect for proper installation. Check for chafing, cracks, deterioration
and signs of leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts. A qualified
technician should perform these operations.
Brake Linings/Drums and Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and drums for scoring, burning, fluid leakage,
broken parts and excessive wear. Check the pads for excessive wear and the
discs for runout, excessive wear and fluid leakage. Replace any deteriorated ordamaged parts. A qualified technician should perform these operations.
Cabin Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. Driving in heavy traffic, on dirt roads or in urban,
desert or dusty areas may shorten filter’s life. More frequent replacement may
be necessary.
Charcoal Canister (CA, MA and NY vehicles)
Check for internal damage and clogging. If necessary, clean with compressed air
or replace. A qualified technician should perform these operations.
