MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
NORMAL VEHICLE USE
The maintenance instructions contained in the mainte-
nance schedule are based on the assumption that the ve-
hicle will be used for the following reasons:
S To carry passengers and cargo within the limitation
indicated on the tire placard located on the edge of
the driver’s door.
S To be driven on reasonable road surfaces and with-
in legal operating limits.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
The services listed in the maintenance schedule are fur-
ther explained below. When the following maintenance
services are performed, make sure all the parts are re-
placed and all the necessary repairs are done before driv-
ing the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubricants.
Drive Belt Inspection
When a separate belt drives the power steering pump, the
air conditioning compressor and the generator, inspect it
for cracks, fraying, wear and proper tension. Adjust or re-
place the belt as needed.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
API Classifications of Engine Oil
The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) and American Petroleum Institute
classifies engine oils according to their performance quali-
ty. Always use oil rated API–SL (ILSAC GF–III) or better.
Engine Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel econ-
omy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity engine
oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather per-
formance; however, higher temperature weather condi-
tions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lu-
brication. 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.
Fuel Micro–Filter Replacement
Replace the engine fuel filter every 45,000 km (27,000
miles).
Air Cleaner Element Replacement
Replace the air cleaner element every 45,000 km (27,000
miles).Replace the air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.
Throttle Body Mounting Bolt Torque
Check the torque of the mounting bolts.
Tighten the throttle body mounting bolts to 15 NSm (11 lb–
ft) if necessary.
Spark Plug Replacement
Replace spark plugs with the same type.
Spark Plug Wire Replacement
Clean wires and inspect them for burns, cracks or other
damage. Check the wire boot fit at the DIS module and at
the spark plugs. Replace the wires as needed.
Brake System Service
Check the disc brake pads and the drum brake linings ev-
ery 15,000 km (9,000 miles) or 12 months. Check the pad
and the lining thickness carefully. If the pads or the linings
are not expected to last to the next scheduledmaintenance
service, replace the pads or the linings. Check the breath-
er hole in the brake fluid reservoir cap to be sure it is free
from dirt and the passage is open.
Transaxle Service
The manual transaxle fluid does not require changing. For
automatic transaxles, refer to ”Scheduled Maintenance
Charts” in this section.
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 irreg-
ular or premature wear exists, check the wheel alignment
and check for damaged wheels. While the tires and
wheels are removed, inspect the brakes. Refer to ”Each
Time The Oil Is Changed” in this section.

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 proper
mixture in order to ensure proper freeze protection, corro-sion protection and engine operating temperature. Inspect
the hoses. Replace the cracked, swollen, or deteriorated
hoses. Tighten the clamps. Clean the outside of the radia-
tor 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.
