HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
AND SERVICING EXPLANATIONS
This manual provides explanations, etc. concerning
procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Note, however,
that for engine and transmission-related component
parts, this manual covers only on-vehicle
inspections, adjustments, and the removal and
installation procedures for major components.
For detailed information concerning the inspection,
checking, adjustment, disassembly and reassembly
of the engine, transmission and major components
after they have been removed from the vehicle,
please refer to separate manuals covering the
engine and the transmission.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
“On-vehicle Service” is procedures for performing
inspections and adjustments of particularly
important locations with regard to the construction
and for maintenance and servicing, but other
inspection (for looseness, play, cracking, damage,
etc.) must also be performed.
INSPECTION
Under this title are presented inspection and
checking procedures to be performed by using
special tools and measuring instruments and by
feeling, but, for actual maintenance and servicing
procedures, visual inspections should always be
performed as well.
INDICATION OF DESTINATION
General Export and GCC are used for convenience
to indicate destination.
NOTE
(1) “General Export” means territories other than
Europe, GCC, Australia, New Zealand, the
U.S.A. and Canada.
(2) “GCC” indicates countries that are members
of the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council of
nations.
(3) In some instances, vehicles with other
specifications may be shipped to some
countries.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
STANDARD VALUE
Indicates the value used as the standard for judging
the quality of a part or assembly on inspection
or the value to which the part or assembly is
corrected and adjusted. It is given by tolerance.
LIMIT
Shows the standard for judging the quality of a
part or assembly on inspection and means the
maximum or minimum value within which the part
or assembly must be kept functionally or in strength.
It is a value established outside the range of
standard value.
REFERENCE VALUE
Indicates the adjustment value prior to starting the
work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and
adjustment procedures, and so they can be
completed in a shorter time).
CAUTION
Indicates the presentation of information particularly
vital to the worker during the performance of
maintenance and servicing procedures in order to
avoid the possibility of injury to the worker, or
damage to component parts, or a reduction of
component or vehicle function or performance, etc.
INDICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUE
Tightening torques (units: N·m) are set to take into
account the central value and the allowable
tolerance. The central value is the target value,
and the allowable tolerance provides the checking
range for tightening torques. If bolts and nuts are
not provided with tightening torques, refer to
P.00-28.

GENERAL -Standard Part/Tightening-Torque Table00-28
STANDARD PART/TIGHTENING-TORQUE TABLE
Each torque value in the table is a standard value
for tightening under the following conditions.
(1) Bolts, nuts and washers are all made of steel
and plated with zinc.
(2) The threads and bearing surface of bolts and
nuts are all in dry condition.The values in the table are not applicable:
(1) If toothed washers are inserted.
(2) If plastic parts are fastened.
(3) If bolts are tightened to plastic or die-cast
inserted nuts.
(4) If self-tapping screws or self-locking nuts are
used.
