G080N01P-GAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.
G080O01P-GAT
o Brake Fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming SAE J1703.
G080P01P-GAT
o Rear Brake Drums and
Linings
Check for scoring, burning, leaking
fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. G080Q01P-GAT
o Brake Pads, Calipers and
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. G080R01P-GAT
o Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system such as parking brake lever, cables, and so on. For detailed service procedures,refer to the Shop Manual.
G080S01P-GAT
o Exhaust Pipe Connections,
Muffler and Suspension Bolts
Check the exhaust pipe, muffler, and
suspension connections for loosenessor damage.
G080L01P-GAT
o Manual Transmission Oil Check manual transmission oil ac- cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. G080M03P-GAT
o Automatic Transmission Fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after engine and transmission are at normal operatingtemperature. Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid level with the en- gine running and the transmission inneutral, with the parking brake properly applied. Use MOBIL DEXRON-II or DIAMOND ATF SP-I when adding orchanging fluid.

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean dem- ineralized or distilled water. Con- tinue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quantitiesuntil the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.
5. Start the engine, top off the radia- tor with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until thelevel is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure thedrain cocks are fully closed and not leaking. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotat-ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This isa normal condition.
G050D02P-AAT To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 6.
!
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill en-gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriatequantity of coolant to the radiator.

On a vehicle with the brake fluid
warning lamp, the brake fluid level is monitored by a float. When the brake fluid level falls to below the "MIN" mark, the brake fluid warning lamplights up.
WARNING:
o Use only the specified brake fluid. Also, the additives in dif-ferent brands may result in a chemical reaction when mixed together, so avoid mixing differ-ent brands if possible.
o Use extreme caution in filling
the brake fluid because it is toxicand corrosive, and it can harm your eyes and damage painted surface. If the fluid gets in youreyes, flush your eyes with clean water.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
I120A02P-GAT (If installed) Transmission fluid in the automatic transmission should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec-tion 6. NOTE: Automatic transmission fluid is a red color. As driving distance in- creases, the fluid color turns dark-ish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace basedupon the changing color.You must replace the automatictransmission fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in sec-tion 6.CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
I110A01P-GAT (If installed) In the case of vehicles with the hy- draulic operating clutch, the reservoir for the clutch fluid also serves as the reservoir for the brake fluid. See theparagraph on the brake fluid.
