AERODYNAMICS
DESCRIPTION
To improve aerodynamic performance, the following measures have been taken.
The shapes of the front pillar, outside rear view mirror, and the front windshield glass have been optimized
to achieve a smooth air flow.
The height and the shape of the front bumper have been optimized in order to rectify the airflow under the
floor and along the body sides.
The shapes of the engine undercover, fuel tank bottom surface, and the rear floor bottom surface have been
optimized to achieve a smooth underbody air flow.
A front and rear fairings are provided to smooth out the airflow around the tires and reduce the air resis-
tance while the vehicle is in motion.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel freeplay. (See page SR±3)
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that:
Tie rod ends do not have excessive play.
Dust seals and boots are not damaged.
Boot clamps are not loose.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (See page RS±2)
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
4. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
Check the drive shaft boots for clamp looseness, leakage or
damage.
5. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
Jack up the front of the vehicle and place wooden
blocks with a height of 180 ± 200 mm (7.09 ± 7.87
in.) under the front tires.
Lower the jack until there is about half a load on the
front coil spring. Place stands under the vehicle for
safety.
Check that the front wheels are pointing straight
ahead, and block them with chocks.
Using a lever, pry up the end of the lower arm, and
check the amount of play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play: 0 mm (0 in.)
If there is play, replace the ball joint.
(b) Check the dust cover for damage.
6. CHECK TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)
Visually check the transaxle for oil (fluid) leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
7. REPLACE TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)
Replace the transaxle oil (See page HT±26).
