MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Fuel Filter Replacement
Replace the engine fuel filter every.
Gasoline Engine : 60,000km (36,000 miles)
Diesel Engine : 45,000km (24,000 miles)
Spark Plug Replacement Replace spark plugs with same type.
Type : BOSCH : F8DC4
BERU : 14F-8DU4
Champion : C11YCC
Gap : 0.8 ± 0.1 mm
Spark Plug Wire Replacement Clean wires and inspect them for burns, cracks or other damage. Check the wire boot fit at the Distributor and at the spark plugs. Replace the wires as needed. Brake System Service Check the disc brake pads or the drum brake linings.
Check the pad and the lining thickness carefully. Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To equalize wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the tires. If irregular or premature wear exists, check the wheel alignment and check for damaged wheels. Whilethe tires and wheels are removed, inspect the brakes.
NORMAL VEHICLE USE The maintenance instructions contained in the maintenance schedule are based on the assumption that the vehicle will be used for the following reasons:

To carry passengers and cargo within the limitation
of the tire inflation prassure. Refer to “Tire and Wheel” in section 2E.
To be driven on reasonable road surfaces and withinlegal operating limits.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICES The services listed in the maintenance schedule are
further explained below. When the following maintenance services are performed, make sure all the parts are replaced and all the necessary repairs are done before driving the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubricants. Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change Always use above the API SH grade or recommended engine oil. Engine Oil Viscosity Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance; however, higher temperatureweather conditions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. Using oils of any viscosity other than those viscosities recommended could result in engine damage. Cooling System Service Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer to “Recommended Fluids And Lubricants” in this section. Air Cleaner Element Replacement
Clean the air cleaner element every.
Gasoline Engine : 15,000km (10,000 miles)
Diesel Engine : 10,000km (6,000 miles)
Replace the air cleaner element every .
Gasoline Engine : 60,000km (36,000 miles)
Diesel Engine : 30,000km (18,000 miles)
Replace the air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.
Tire Rotation (Left - Hand Drive Type)

GENERAL INFORMATION 0B-13
Weather-Strip Lubrication Apply a thin film silicone grease using a clean cloth. EACH TIME THE OIL IS CHANGED Brake System Inspection This inspection should be done when the wheels are removed for rotation. Inspect the lines and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Inspect the disc brake pads for wear. Inspect the rotors for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, theparking brake, etc., at the same time. Inspect the brakes more often if habit or conditions result in frequent braking. Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle Boot And Seal Inspection Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering line and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle boot and seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace
the seals if necessary. Exhaust System Inspection Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic converter if equipped). Inspect the body near the exhaustsystem. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or out-of- position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which could cause heat buildup in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the trunk or passenger compartment. Throttle Linkage Inspection Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, damaged, or missing parts. Lubricate all linkage joints and throttle cable joints, the intermediate throttle shaft
bearing, the return spring at throttle valve assembly, and the accelerator pedal sliding face with suitable grease. Check the throttle cable for free movements. Engine Drive Belts Inspect all belts for cracks, fraying, wear and proper tension. Adjust or replace the belts as needed. Hood Latch Operation When opening the hood, note the operation of the secondary latch. It should keep the hood from opening all the way when the primary latch is released. The hood
must close firmly. AT LEAST ANNUALLY Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and Operation Inspect the belt system including: the webbing, the
buckles, the latch plates, the retractor, the guide loops and the anchors. Movable Head Restraint Operation On vehicles with movable head restraints, the restraints must stay in the desired position. Spare Tire and Jack Storage Be alert to rattles in the rear of the vehicle. The spare tire, all the jacking equipment, and the tools must besecurely stowed at all times. Oil the jack ratchet or the screw mechanism after each use. Key Lock Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinder. Body Lubrication Service Lubricate all the body door hinges including the hood,
the fuel door, the rear compartment hinges and the latches, the glove box and the console doors, and anyfolding seat hardware. Underbody Flushing Flushing the underbody will remove any corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control.
At least every spring clean the underbody. First, loosen the sediment packed in closed areas of the vehicle. Then
flush the underbody with plain water. Engine Cooling System Inspect the coolant and freeze protection fluid. If the fluid
is dirty or rusty, drain, flush and refill the engine cooling system with new coolant. Keep the coolant at the propermixture in order to ensure proper freeze protection, corrosion protection and engine operating temperature. Inspect the hoses. Replace the cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated hoses. Tighten the clamps. Clean the outside of the radiator and the air conditioning
condenser. Wash the filler cap and the neck. Pressure test the cooling system and the cap in order to help ensure proper operation.

2B-4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT1. Perform wheel alignment preliminary inspection.
2. Check the brakes for dragging.
3. Road test the vehicle.Does the vehicle lead/pull?
1. Cross switch the front tire and wheel assemblies. 2. Road test the vehicle. Does the vehicle lead/pull? 1. Check the front wheel alignment. Is the alignment within specifications?
1. Compare the front camber and front caster to specifications.Are they within specifications?
1. Check the vehicle frame. Is the frame bent?
1. Straighten the frame. Is the repair complete?
1. The probable cause is the tires.
2. Switch the left front tire and wheel assembly with
the left rear tire and wheel assembly.
3. Road test the vehicle. Does the vehicle still lead/pull?
1. Switch the left front tire and wheel assembly with the left rear tire and wheel assembly and replace theleft front tire. Does the repair complete?
1. Switch the right front tire and wheel assembly with
the right rear tire and wheel assembly.
2. Road test the vehicle. Does the vehicle still lead/pull?
1. Switch the right front tire and wheel assembly with the right rear tire and wheel assembly and replace the right front tire. Is the repair complete? Action
