373

❑Inspect for tappet noise and engine vibration.
Adjust valve clearance to factory specications if
necessary (or every 48 months, whichever
occurs rst).An Emission Control Service.
❑Inspect fuel tank, cap, cap gasket, and lines for
damage or leaks (or every 24 months, whichever
occurs rst). Replace parts as needed.An
Emission Control Service. (See footnote †.)
❑Change manual transaxle uid every
30,000 miles (48 000 km) only if your vehicle is
used to tow a trailer.
❑Change automatic transaxle uid every
60,000 miles (96 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly
driven under one or more of these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside
temperature regularly reaches 90°F
(32°C) or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain. When doing frequent trailer towing.
Uses such as found in taxi, police, or
delivery service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the uid does not require changing.
See Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 394for the proper uid to use.
150,000 Miles (240 000 km)
❑Drain, ush, and rell the cooling system
(or every 5 years, whichever occurs rst). This
service can be complex; you should have
your dealer perform this service. SeeEngine
Coolant on page 294for what to use. Inspect
hoses. Clean radiator, condenser, pressure cap,
and neck. Pressure test cooling system and
pressure cap.An Emission Control Service.
385

Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if
they are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect
all pipes, ttings and clamps; replace as needed.
Clean the outside of the radiator and air
conditioning condenser. To help ensure proper
operation, a pressure test of the cooling system
and pressure cap is recommended at least
once a year.
Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or
binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed. Replace any
components that have high effort or excessive
wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and cruise
control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines
and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks,
cracks, chang, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect
drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect
other brake parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check
parking brake adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
